Icarus - White Hinterland

Let the sun rain down on me

'Till covered in dew

All pink and new and reborn

Cut past the grey and countless forms

Condemned to kill or be conquered

Slender as a carp you are

Your skin defiantly silver and so sure

As for me, I am not so sure

I watch you skate like a knife beneath the water, ooh

Though I can see clearly ahead of me

I cannot stop at once I’m set a-spinning

Oh, what can it mean

Why must I always see the ending at the beginning?

Together going arm and arm

To meet our solitude, to meet it head on

I’ll meet you where the water’s warm

To meet my solitude, to meet it head on

Though I can see clearly ahead of me

I cannot stop it once I’m set a-spinning

What can it mean

Why must I always see the ending at the beginning?
