LEDGER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my soul went weightless
You're the perfect archetype
Raptured and captivated
Feel me heart begin to race
You take me to the place
That I've never known before
I hear the heavens call
I could never want it more
You are the spark, you set me on fire
You're so iconic, everything I wanted
You are my world, my legend, my star
You're so iconic, everybody wants it
You-ou-ou, intoxicate me
When you mo-o-ove
Look at the mess you make me
You are my world, my legend, my star
You're so iconic, everybody wants it
You came in a crash of bliss
It seems that fate has chained us
Embracing metamorphosis
As I give into your love
Oh, I hear you calling me
I can't help falling deep
Into your sweetness, your abyss
My heart begins to race
You take me to the place
I want it all and more of it
You are the spark, you set me on fire
You're so iconic, everything I wanted
You are my world, my legend, my star
You're so iconic, everybody wants it
You-ou-ou intoxicate me
When you mo-o-ove
Look at the mess you make me
You are my world, my legend, my star
You're so iconic, everybody wants it
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
I hear the thunder roar
I hear the heavens come
I can never want it more
You-ou-ou intoxicate me
When you mo-o-ove
Look at the mess you make me
Look at the mess you make me
So iconic, everybody wants it
You are the spark, you set me on fire
You're so iconic, everything I wanted
You are my world, my legend, my star
You're so iconic, everybody wants it
You-ou-ou, intoxicate me
When you mo-o-ove
Look at the mess you make me
You are my world, my legend, my star
You're so iconic, everybody wants it
In these lyrics from LEDGER's song "Iconic", the singer describes the feeling of being completely enamored with someone who they view as larger than life.
The first stanza begins with the singer describing the moment that they first saw this person - they "came in a flash of light" and the singer felt weightless in their presence. The person is characterized as the "perfect archetype," indicating that they are the epitome of what the singer thinks a desirable person should be. The next few lines describe the feeling of being with this person - the singer's heart races and they're taken to a place they've never been before. The singer hears the "thunder roll" and the "heavens call," suggesting that this person is so powerful that they have the ability to create natural phenomena.
The chorus is the most straightforward part of the song. The singer describes how the person they're singing about is "iconic" and everything they ever wanted. This person is the singer's "world," and everyone wants them. The singer is "intoxicated" by the person's movements and they make the singer's life messy in the best way possible.
The second verse continues the description of the relationship between the singer and their "iconic" love interest. The person came into the singer's life in a "crash of bliss," and the singer feels like fate has brought them together. The singer gives in completely to the person's love and hears them calling out to them. The singer is once again taken to a place they've never been before and they want more of it.
Overall, these lyrics describe the feeling of being completely enamored with someone who is larger than life. This person is the epitome of what the singer desires, and they make the singer feel weightless, empowered, and like they're experiencing something entirely new.

Jen is not the one on the drums in this band... just if you didn't know :)
Torsten Gruszka
I love her voice since i know her from Skillet.

I always knew Jen was talented, but I never expected her to produce songs of this quality. This EP is easily one of my favorite releases of the year.
