Icons Lyrics by Cygnets

Alone / Together

2016

Anna, I can see you looking right through me
The reflected lights of synthesizers bathe you in their glow
I said: "Anna, it's almost like you never knew me."
But you see what you want to see when you choose what to be shown
I said: "Anna, why are you the judge and the jury?"
It's sometimes like I'm hypnotized to believe in you alone
I said: "Anna, I know that you intended to prove it to me."
You were never better than a dramatic movie, a beautiful echo

How did I forget? Now you're foreign to me
How did I forget? Now you're foreign to me
How did I forget? Now you're foreign to me
All these idols lined up in rows of beauty
How did I forget? Now you're foreign to me
How did I forget? Now you're foreign to me
How did I forget? Now you're foreign to me
All these idols lined up and you're a beautiful mess

Anna, for years I've tried to channel you through me
To paint your life in synthesizers; a portrait in dark tones
I said: "Anna, destruction is a thing of beauty."
You adore the gorgeous pageantry, but destroy it with sorrow
I said: "Anna, why are you forgetting what you mean?"
One might think you're bound by confidence, but you dream of letting go
I said: "Anna, what the fuck is your body doing to me?"
It's like another hit of a drug that I need
I think I've lost control
