ICARUS

https://linktr.ee/Elyelmusic Song written, recorded, produced and mixed by Elyel This is one of my more introspective songs and this is what usually goes through my head: the balance of light and dark, low self esteem, self motivation, embodying my own mortality with my own immortality through principles that I’ve learned as well as aspects I’ve discovered myself. Lyrics: Gotta bring it to the light Don’t forget darkness Reaching heights Life’s contrast Victories vast There’s no day without night No play without fight Always true Stay true to you Always do what you gotta do Value yourself You’d be surprised how much you’re worth Priceless timeless To be enticed Endowed from birth I am the iris I am the genius I am the earth I am the sun I am the sweetness The bitterness harnessing Icarus And when I lay at night I try to find myself again In this world of pretend What does it take to be a man To not anyone’s eyes but my own Resilient brilliant All my soul, skin and my bones All screaming intelligence Is it designed to show the signs Not just hide and say no I’m fine Broken communication skills Pent up vocalization still Hesitation mixed with procrastination Break the wheel I thought you could play life without making the same mistakes twice Gotta bring it to the light Don’t forget darkness Reaching heights Life’s contrast Victories vast There’s no day without night No play without fight Always true Stay true to you Always do what you gotta do Value yourself You’d be surprised how much you’re worth Priceless timeless To be enticed Endowed from birth I am the iris I am the genius I am the earth I am the sun I am the sweetness The bitterness harnessing Icarus
