Icarus
R3hab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That people wish and I don't think they'll care in my wake
'Cause I've been falling for days
To the sea, to the sea, yeah
Tried to breathe but I've been drowning in waves
Of jealously and anyone could see that I'm lost
Through the seas I've been tossed
And I'm not free, I'm not free, yeah
So I open my eyes
And I fall through the sky
While the day turns to night
I have burned for my love
Flown too close to the sun
Falling like icarus
Now the damage is done
I have burned for my love
I'm on the ground and if you ask why I don't
Come around, it's because I can't bare the weight
And I guess I'm afraid
Of going down, going down, down
In your face, a silhouette of me and I won't
Leave a trace, I know I know so far I can fall
'Til there's nothing at all
But your face, your face
So I open my eyes
And I fall through the sky
While the day turns to night
I have burned for my love
Flown too close to the sun
Falling like icarus
Now the damage is done
I have burned for my love
The lyrics to R3hab's song "Icarus" describe a protagonist who has fallen from grace, and is struggling to come to terms with the aftermath of their mistakes. The opening lines suggest that the singer had lofty dreams that nobody cared about, and as a result, they have fallen hard, drowning in a sea of jealousy and lost at sea. The chorus of the song uses imagery from the Greek myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun with wings made of feathers and wax, causing him to fall to his death. The singer feels as though they too have burned for love, flown too close to the sun, and now they are falling like Icarus, with irreversible damage done.
The second verse of the song explains why the singer has isolated themselves from others after their fall. They feel unable to bear the weight of their mistakes and fear falling further down. This fear is juxtaposed with the image of the singer's silhouette, which suggests that they are haunted by their past and unable to move on. The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the singer's feelings of regret, shame and pain.
Overall, the song is a poignant tale of a modern-day Icarus who has fallen from grace, and is struggling to come to terms with the consequences of their actions. The song's themes of loss, regret, and the fallibility of humanity are relatable to anyone who has experienced a major setback in their life.
