Icarus
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I don't know how i'll fall asleep
When lyin' next to you is a dream
just let it go and fall into me
to me...
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
I should've know.
I could've run from
But when I move
It just brings me back to you
I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burnin but i wont let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flyin with my wings on fire
And being with you just makes it harder
I'm easily the worst on my own
The distance never makes you seem farther, you know?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
I should've know.
I could've run from
But when I move
It just brings me back to you
I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burnin but i wont let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flyin with my wings on fire
Try to shoot me down and I'll find reason to get up
And leave the ground and I will fly ...
I get this feeling when you hold me close




I know it's burnin but i wont let go
They told me I couldn't go higher

Overall Meaning

In Jeremy Zucker's song Icarus, the singer expresses his desire to be with someone he loves, even if it means taking risks and potentially getting hurt. The song starts with the artist being in bed next to his lover, unable to fall asleep because of the excitement and joy they bring him. He pleads with his partner to let go and fall into him, indicating that he wants everything they have to offer.


The chorus of the song is where the real meaning lies. The artist questions their origins and wonders where they came from, indicating that they feel deeply connected to their lover, but cannot seem to understand why. He admits that he should have known they would end up together and that running away was never an option.


The artist takes immense joy in being with his lover, but acknowledges that it is challenging for him to be on his own. The distance between them isn't a significant issue for him, as he still feels close to them, regardless of the actual physical distance. This line speaks volumes to the depth of their relationship and how much they mean to each other.


Overall, Icarus is a heartfelt and touching song about love and the joy and pain that comes with it. The artist is willing to take risks and fly too close to the sun just to be with the person he loves.

Lyrics :

And I don't know how I'll fall asleep
When lying next to you is a dream
Just let it go and fall into me, into me

Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
I should've known
I could've run from
But when I move
It just brings me back to you

I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flying with my wings on fire
I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flying with my wings on fire
I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flying with my wings on fire

And being with you just makes it harder
I'm easily the worst on my own
The distance never makes you seem farther, you know?

Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
I should've known
I could've run from
But when I move
It just brings me back to you

I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flying with my wings on fire
I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flying with my wings on fire
I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
I'm flying with my wings on fire

Try to shoot me down
And I'll find reason to get up
And leave the ground
And I will fly
I get this feeling when you hold me close
Try to shoot me down
I know it's burning but I won't let go
And I'll find reason to get up
They told me I couldn't go higher
And leave the ground
I'm flying with my wings on fire
And I will fly

I get this feeling when you hold me close
I know it's burning but I won't let go
They told me I couldn't go higher
