Icon Lyrics by DAAN

Simple

0

If you try to be an icon
Then the icon becomes you
If you try to be a model
It'll catwalk over you
If you try to walk in straight shoes
Then these shoes will bend you too
If you try to be a kid again
The kid will kidnap you

You know it's true
The guy you know, well that's just you
And there is nothing you can do
Just like a door you can't get through
When there is no one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

So don't try to be an icon
Con the I inside of you
That picture you've been painting doesn't look a thing like you
I'll agree that it's a nice try
But when your paint is dry
We're all just little icons
Super you and super I

You know it's true
The guy you know, well that's just you
And there is nothing you can do
Just like a door you can't get through
When there is no one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

Solo

I need someone to show me
Just what I threw away
I need a pretty angel to present it on a tray
You never liked the icon
Said "that guy looked pretty strange"
But you never tried to change me and that's how I've come to change

You know it's true
The guy you know, well that's just you
And there is nothing you can do
Just like a door you can't get through
When there is no one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself

When there is no one left to fool
Don't go and drown in that old pool
Don't kid yourself
