Discover the story of the song > Icarus – Aaron Taylor

The protagonist in these lyrics is reflecting on a past relationship. He compares his love for his partner to the story of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and suffered the consequences. The protagonist says he loved his partner so much that it was like being obsessed with the sun, but that ended up being a problem. Now, they are in a bad place and he wonders what they have done to get there. He asks for help, saying that he flew too high and needs someone to catch him. The song ends with some repetition of the plea for someone to catch him.
