I’m seeing a lot of people relating this as asthma or diff types of breathing conditions and whatnot but In my brain I can only vision this as like anxiety,felling that the world is both too big and too small for you at the same time and feeling ostracised for not being able to function normally like every other person (IMO!!)

Damn this song is so special to me having grown up with undiagnosed autism. Everyone else around me always knew how to do  everything that I found confusing. It was always so frustrated and even years later it is.

I actually learned how to breathe in an incorrect way, as a sort of permanent hyperventilation. Also relatable, cuz autism

not me relating to this song because of autism, anxiety, and being non binary 😭

I LOW-KEY THOUGHT THIS SONG FELT LIKE BINDING AND?????? THE SINGER IS A TRANSMASC PERSON???? me fr

this is the song i wrote from the perspective of daedalus, icarus' father, that got popular on tik tok :3 thank u so so much for all the love you guys gave me i really hope this recording doesn't disappoint!

Icarus (my tiktok song)

This song was written and produced completely in my dorm with a $20 mic. Forgive me for the oddities it causes. 

Background:
And Eve was told not to eat the fruit, because "she would surely die." Instead, she learned information that she was not given before—she gained a power in that sense; she became the apocalypse.  What other powers are women "forbidden" from, all in the name of holiness? Maybe we should take a bite of that apple, feel some warmth from that lit match, explore ourselves, explore each other. They are baptizing the candles of tomorrow: they are snuffing flames. Why? They're scared of the heat we might just bring to the table. Mwah-ha-ha...

I digress... lyrics!!:
baptiser, baptise her, rose water, soft daughter
rectify and sanctify her, hold a moth and let it flutter
Don’t forget to floralize, don’t vocalize the smoke in eyes
Don’t don’t don’t strike.
catchin’ on that distant lie she’s gotta be divine
death-defier hanging on a burning tether line
then line breaks, spine aches, coiled snake, broken rope and Joanie chokes
they hope her perfume’s stronger than the soul

They’ll put an apple in your hand but don’t you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don’t you dare light it
They say temptation be a sin, don’t look any more behind it
That’s just how it is, don’t you dare fight it
They’ll put an apple in your hand but don’t you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don’t you dare light it
Life’s only meant to live, don’t fill it with excitement
Abstain, restrain, forgive, yeah, that’s how he likes it

Wax-dripper, flame-kisser, lost-livered life giver
Crucify and waterlog the sinner mother, sinner daughter
She could take you by surprise   
Beware the July fire ides
She’s a locked and loaded inferno with underglow she cannot know so drown that power fore it overflows
Sorry man, it’s way to late, her choice is made, the apple’s ate, the candle starts to flicker in a wicked little divine state
Rising and rising, gently respiring

she can’t let the candle burn
She can’t let the candle burn
So they’ve gotta teach her so she knows how to learn
That she can’t let the candle burn

lyrics:

(Madilyn Mei)
Kissin’ the bees, tippin’ the trees
For the ease of a breeze they make 
Crossin at the light, hands held tight
Tonight we’ll make pancakes 

I don’t wanna live in worry 

(Madilyn & Addison) 
Oh no no no
 Not again 
I don’t wanna be a story 
Oh no no no
Not yet 

Sleepin’ in the kitchen
Singin’ in the mornin
Someday when it's over
What is there to tell? 

Carin’ more than I show
Lovin’ more than you know 
But someday when it’s over
What is there to tell? 

(Addison Grace)
I don’t wanna be a tragedy
A means to make amends
I don’t wanna be a memory
A picture, happy end

(Madilyn & Addison)
I don’t wanna be a story
Oh no no no
Not yet

Cats in the backyard 
Drivin’ off to nowhere 
Someday when it's over 
What is there to tell? 

Followin’ in footsteps 
Followin’ a routine 
Someday when you're mourning 
What is there to tell?  

(Addison Grace)
I keep on singing the same songs 

(Addison & Madilyn)
Honey, I know honeymilk cannot drown out the guilt 
Keep saying I wanna move on 
But if I don’t let it last it’ll end just as fast as it started 

(Addison) 
Goin in reverse, days I’ve rehearsed
Finding where I went wrong 

(Madilyn)
Remake my bed, restart my head

(Madilyn & Addison)
Undo it all and all 
I don’t wanna be a story 
Oh no no no 

Sleepin’ in the kitchen (Kissin’ the bees, tippin’ the trees)
Singin’ in the morning (For the ease of a breeze they make)
Someday when it's over (Crossin at the light, hands held tight)
What is there to tell? (Tonight we’ll make pancakes)
Sleepin’ in the kitchen (I don’t wanna be a tragedy) 
Singin’ in the morning (A means to make amends) 
Someday when you're mourning (I don’t wanna be a memory)
A picture, happy end

Lyrics:
Kleptomaniacrow
Following me wherever I go
Hoping I’ll drop something so
He can add to his collection
He likes the shiniest things
Dangling trinkets
Coins and beads
Offered up some crumbs to eat
But he didn’t seem interested

Kleptomaniacrow
Why follow I?
I’ve not much stowed away
In my pockets today
You have an eye on my necklace

You start a strange charade, a dance,
A’beckon me to follow
So like you always do I follow you this time
You lead me far away
Didn’t take you for a tour guide
You and I, parading by,
Deep into the wood

Oh Kleptomaniacrow
Leading me somewhere I don’t know
And to my horror you led
Me to a body at rest and
There I stood shocked by your side
For to my surprise the body was mine
Did that mean I was a ghost?
I don’t remember dying

And as I stood there crying
Over my own lifeless body
You felt the time was right to snatch
The locket you'd been eyeing
To my demise I realized too late
And with the pull 
The corpse had disappeared
And off you flew holding my soul

“Finders Keepers"
Written in chicken scratch
On my tombstone
Nice touch, thanks for that
Guess that grim reaper
Knew I’d never grow old
Awful funny sendin’ birds to do your work though

“Finders Keepers"
Well you finally have my soul
But little do you know
That necklace is
That necklace is

“Finders Keepers"
Written in chicken scratch
On my tombstone
Gonna pay for that
Couldn't know better
Who knew death would come
With feathers
Who knew he'd send a greedy beak
A’peckin at my feet, oh 

“Finders Keepers"
Well you finally have my soul
But, word to your crow,  though
That necklace is fools gold

Kleptomaniacrow

Lyrics:

Sparks fly 
Every time I
Identify a species I have
Hitherto never 
Seen in the field 
Seen in the feather 
Sparkbird 
Destiny drew us together 
Every smile line on my face 
Can be retraced 
Down to the split second 
Down to the split place 

Is it magical thinking 
Or is it magical realism 
Or is it neither here nor there? 
Every time I check my wrist 
It's another brand new freckle 
Past another brand new hair 
I'm growing up, up, up 
Against my will, will 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed? 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed, killed, killed? 

Sparks fly 
Every time I visit this park 
I envision the phantom 
Of a giddy little cartoon me 
Jittering on the electrifying
Cusp of discovery 
Before and after the storm 
All I wanted was to be seen
And to see

Some signs of a world still
Turning, turning, turning 
Some signs of a world still
Forming, forming, forming 
Rebirth of a dream still
Burning, burning, burning

Is it magical thinking 
Or is it magical realism 
Or is it neither here nor there? 
Every time I check my wrist 
It's another brand new freckle 
Past another brand new hair 
I'm growing up, up, up 
Against my will, will 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed? 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed, killed, killed?
