Paroles/Composition
Paroles
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you're about to fall
Icarus in motion
You come from such humble beginnings
Rough hands and dirty shoes
Stranger to silver spoons
And now you're drowning in your winnings
You soar on gilded wings
Keep score with gods and kings
No time for self-reflection
When striving for perfection
Ambition suits you like the labels that you wear
(Labels that you wear)
On the way up, it's all so thrilling
'Til you remember nothing is under you but air
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you're about to fall
Icarus in motion
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you're about to fall
Icarus in motion
The universe just keeps on giving
Hungrily grasp for more
The endless spoils of war
They say that life is for the living
You've burned through twenty lives
Almost as many wives
The same universe that gave you wings
Can snatch them back before you blink
Your narcissism is a dangerous affair
(Dangerous affair)
On the way up, it's all so thrilling
'Til you remember nothing is under you but air
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you're about to fall
Icarus in motion
It's always sunny when you're flying high above the clouds
Nothing to see below so up and up you go
No one but yourself can stop you now
As the sun destroys your wings
See the angels beckoning
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you're about to fall
Icarus in motion
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you're about to fall
Icarus in motion
