ICARUS Lyrics by Amplifi

CHEKHOV’S GUN

2024

[Verse 1]
Ba mhaith liom a bheith léi
We haven't met yet but you've changed me
Heart skipped a beat, wait can we take three?
Cardiac attack destination A&E
Ay, take me
I could see us - haha - in a back seat
Making sweet beats courtesy of Amplífí
You make me head over feet with ease

Wiping out the eyes, popping E's
Studying hard to fathom your species - I mean
Wiping down the sights I aim to please
Point-blank, but you knew that I’d cease her, uh
She so valuable to me
They don't fall out the sky, but she got angel wings
Yeah it's unfathomable to me
That I can see her while still breathing

[Chorus 1]
I’m wanting too much I’m Icarus
Wax wings you're my sun I’m just so nervous
I’m wanting 1 on 1 like we playing versus
But for now we together in my verses
I'm navigating hints it's a damn labyrinth
She's a loose cannon, yeah I’m a maverick
Take my breath away, - asthmatic
Icarus, yeah we may sink like the titanic

[Verse 2]
When I see her it's a good morning
Wish-wish-wish that we'll be courting
Write songs about her, yeah I’m recording
But I do my best to head the warnings
More red flags than a Swiss embassy
I can tell she feel that-that jealousy
Little does she know that we are destiny
I’m ignoring the risk of cardiac injury

They call me Icarus, it's dangerous
But the sky is limitless, heart promises
I’m navigating hazardous, toxic stuff
Fuck this I'm flying way too close to the sun
Listening to the voices: run
I'm big sad so I thug it out
Close my eyes, easier to face blackout
Than seeing my own failure, ouch

[Chorus 2]
I’m wanting too much I’m Icarus
Wax wings you're my sun I’m just so nervous
I’m wanting 1 on 1 like we playing versus
But for now we together in my verses
I'm navigating hints it's a damn labyrinth
She's a loose cannon, yeah I’m a maverick
Take my breath away, - asthmatic
Icarus, yeah we may sink like the titanic

[Bridge]
Uh, I be feeling so frustrate
Don't want drama, but it propagates
Of course I had to let the tea marinate
Cos they be spying on me like it's Watergate
It's as simple as she wanted to placate
I'll be the bigger man to end a stalemate
I'm off my high horse now, i abdicate
They say anything about me, all fabricate

One man shouldn't have this much lore
History repeats, I never called encore
I, like Frodo, brought my drip to Mordor
I’ve dealt with so much BS I’m matador
Better watch your step, cos I’m a claymore
Call me Bruno cos I keep opening doors
I got silk sonics listeners adore
I'm blowing up since, you can call me C4

[Chorus 3]
I wanted too much I’m Icarus
Falling down into the bitterness
All she ever gave me was lip service
Now all I see are blocked messages
I wanted too much? you're delirious
I'm on demon time, I’m feeling villainous
Now you're making shit up like it's synthesis
But you know I’m locked in, so meticulous


[Outro]
I peaked when I was six feet deep
It wasn't that I couldn't handle the heat
Wax and feathers, I can supersede
And fly over your head but you can't believe
It’s a million degrees
Spiralling your mind like Archimedes
She's digging me, but only in theory
We fly so high but fall so quickly
