Icarus
MYXE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running from shadows
When he can't cope
Took all the pain from the wings they broke
Made him feel better
Cause they don't know
In the Water
No need to follow
Him on the run
You'll be blinded
By the Wonder
No need to follow
Him to the sun
Icarus
Flying away in the break of dusk
Hiding away
Come home to us
Come home to us
Now
Icarus
Fighting the war that's inside of us
Lighting the way
Come home to us
Come home to us
Now
We'll be the light to your star eyes
Hard to repress all the days and years
Running from shadows
When he can't breathe
Now we know he don't wanna believe it
But bones got another way of healing
Like a phoenix
Through ashes and fire he'll rise
In the morning
By the Water
No need to follow
Him on the run
You'll be blinded
By the Wonder
No need to follow
Him to the sun
Icarus
Flying away in the break of dusk
Hiding away
Come home to us
Come home to us
Now
Icarus
Fighting the war that's inside of us
Lighting the way
Come home to us
Come home to us
Now
We'll be the light to your star eyes

The singer is urged to come home, where there are people who will be the light to his star eyes. The song talks about the struggle of trying to suppress the memories of all the days and years, but ultimately coming to terms with the fact that bones have another way of healing and rising like a phoenix through ashes and fire.
Overall, the song "Icarus" by MYXE is a powerful message of hope and resilience in the face of struggles and pains, urging the singer to come home to the people who will support him and be the light to his star eyes.
