iiCARUS
Sebii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you know
I know you know-oh-oh-oh
Bae, I told you "Hey" (Hello)
Gotta go count all of my cake
Go to a bank, open a safe
Now we are safe, just do what I say
If they gon' chase, you know they got a gun
All of this cash, we thought it was so fun (Yeah)
They might just kill me for all of my funds
All of my sins, I want it undone
I feel like Icarus
I got too close to the sun
I got too close to the sun
I got too close
Life is too sweet, just like glucose
Pop like a toaster 'cause I am too toast
Yeah, I move too slow
Yeah, I move too fast
My pockets got too fat
Yeah, they like, "Damn, you got them bands"
You got a lot, can't hold a hand
You got to flop, you got the guap
You got a lot, you got a lot, lot, lot, lot
The first time you gеt a taste, you think it's so enticing
It's something that you'vе never had, indeed it's very exciting
The second time you get a taste, you notice you keep on biting
Yeah, it's so rich in it's flavor, you can't just put it down in writing
The third time you just craved, but you couldn't get a bite
So you chased and chased and drowned in disgrace to your waste
You needed a fix, this feeling you couldn't face
You gotta go to the safe
The song "iiCARUS" by SEBii is a cautionary tale about the dangers of chasing after material wealth and getting too greedy. The repeated refrain of "I know you know" suggests that the singer is aware of the risks and consequences of their actions, but they're too caught up in the moment to stop themselves. The verses depict a scenario where the singer and their partner have gained a lot of money through questionable means and must constantly watch their back for danger. The line "All of my sins, I want it undone" suggests that the singer regrets their past actions, but it's too late to turn back now.
The chorus references the Greek myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun with wax wings and ultimately fell to his death. The singer compares their own situation to Icarus' hubris and recklessness, acknowledging that they too have flown too close to the sun in their pursuit of wealth. The verses that follow suggest that the singer knows they're on a dangerous path, but they're addicted to the adrenaline rush of living dangerously. The metaphor of getting a taste of something sweet and becoming addicted to it is used to describe the singer's mentality.
Overall, "iiCARUS" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the high costs of living life on the edge. The repetition of "I know you know" suggests a sense of culpability and self-awareness on the part of the singer, but ultimately they are unable to stop themselves from falling further into a dangerous lifestyle.
