    I purchased "Yesterdays Futures" after having this track on repeat for like a month. What a masterpiece the album is, absolutely breath taking and I am grateful to the artists for their time and dedication to bringing it to our ears. Its not very often that I hear albums that I know I will bump until the day that I die, but this is one of them. If the artists are reading the comments section then I would just like to say, Thank you Mr Key, thank you Greenwood Sharps and thank you HighFocus. A peach of an album.

    [Verse 1]
    I wanna feel good, if I can't feel good
    I wanna feel nothing, feed me oblivion
    Eat me a million and one plus one plus one
    Makes a million and dumb fuck features obsidian
    Stone-eyed Gilligan, bone wide domino
    Clip-clap, stick myself up just to sit back
    Tinkerbell snuffed it to pitch black, it's nothing but
    Big chat but fuck it I did that
    Chameleon I feed on magnesium strips
    White light fade away to amnesia bliss
    There's no need to resist, there's no green where the kids play
    Snow White sleeps in a grim grey
    And that's a beautiful still life
    I don't lose it, I kill time, face fucked Dali,
    With flick knives the butterfly effect
    What's that running down my neck? A bittersweet mixture of love and disrespect
    Puddled up underneath the bed
    Must have been something that I said
    Well if it's nothing to remember then it's nothing to forget
    I guess, fuck it, it's nothing, forget it
    Just another nondescript manuscript
    I stabbed a chick with 50 acid dipped candle sticks
    Snitch still waiting for the wax to drip, drip
    But her face is still immaculate, why? Don't answer that, shh
    Don't answer back, time lapse heart attack
    Wide black eyes suck the life out of artefacts
    Back from the symbolised, same place different time
    Same day different life, same dame different guy
    Live in a memorial graveyard
    Picking at wishbones, skimmed stones sink
    And broken windows don't blink
    Speedy eyed gonzo to feast for the flies that fly poncho
    I do not claim what I do not know, you
    Do not play gung-ho with Colombo
    Think about it, I can see through you see
    I can see through you see, see who you truly be (X2)
    [Verse 2]
    Looked deep in the abyss and I said to myself
    What a wonderful world, what a beautiful girl
    What a marvellous way to escape the space age
    With my faith stapled straight to my face
    As naked as the day I was made
    Right here, right now In my favourite place
    I'm just
    Following the endless meanders
    Fjord to the source, backwards through the backwoods
    The words that I write are my atlas
    The earth in the skies I was trapped now I'm free from the madness
    Emerge in the light full of thanks for my personal ties
    And my friends and my fam cause
    Well, if life ain't love son then what the fuck is it?
    You make your own meanings and mine's divine spirits
    In line the spine tingling infinity's fine but try switch to the design despite limited time
    You're too close
    To the king of the skies
    Icarus instinct
    Forget where the roots run deep and get ya wings clipped
    Everything's fine you're hedonistic
    Broken homegrown messy business
    Magnify glass up the past like "what is this?"
    No I don't know no faux clever dipshit
    Peppa Pig mystic to primary colour mix to baby shit brown
    Baby don't make me sit down
    I'd rather stay standing and be counted if it's all the same to you
    If it's all the same to you
    Imma sing our song of sorrow
    As I paint my piece of paper with a sepia stain and
    Pretend I ain't the reason that your feelings have changed
    Disappear into the distance 'till you need me again
    Today
    You'll find me hyper-saturated by the seaside
    Spirals in the sky and oscillations in my dream time
    Widen them horizons watch the changes from the beach like
    Nothing ever stays the same but everything will be fine (X2)

      Just adding some precisions. The feather idea came from his father to escape from the giant maze they were lost in. But once in the air, Icarus was amazed by the sun and began to flight closer and closer to it. Because of the heat the glue melted down and the feathers went off, leaving Icaruse trapped by his own curiosity.

    • @cynical_op
      @cynical_op Před 7 lety +8

      +MrImmortality, Aegeus was king of Athens.
      Every year Athens paid tribute to the king of Crete, Minos. They would send a few young people as sacrifice to the Minotaur, son of Minos and half human, half bull, who was trapped in the Labyrinth Icarus's father built(O:). Theseus, son of Aegeus wanted to end this and went himself to face the Minotaur. (thesseah in greek means sacrifice).
      He beat him and returned to Athens but he had forgotten to change from black sails. Aegeus, waiting for his son above the sea, took it as a sign that Theseus is dead and threw himself in the rocky waters.
      They gave his name to the sea, Aegean. South east of the Aegean is Icaria island and the Icarian sea.
