About I, Carrion (Icarian)
“I, Carrion (Icarian)” is a reimagining of the Greek myth of Icarus as a love song. Hozier has explained that the song imagines Icarus as so in love that he is unaware that he is dying; the speaker in the song does not care whether he falls, as long as his love is with him. The artist said while explaining the song live: "This song has tried to imagine that he was so enamored and so breathless and so ecstatic in the moment that he felt the air rushing by him, that he never knew he died. .
I, Carrion (Icarian) Lyrics
[00:00.38] If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
[00:06.64] Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
[00:13.56]
[00:20.89] I feel lighter than I have in so much time
[00:24.93] I've crossed the border line of weightless
[00:28.68] One deep breath out from the sky
[00:32.61] I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
[00:37.56] All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world
[00:44.75] And though I burn how could I fall?
[00:51.06] When I am lifted by every word you say to me
[01:00.02] If anything could fall at all, it's the world
[01:08.95] That falls away from me
[01:13.67]
[01:16.63] You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
[01:21.12] While you're as heavy as the world
[01:24.64] That you hold your hands beneath
[01:29.10] Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground
[01:33.60] But I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down
[01:41.31] Leave it now, I am sky-bound
[01:47.32] If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me
[01:56.03] We'll float away, but if we fall
[02:02.39] I only pray, don't fall away from me
[02:11.69] I do not have wings, love, I never will
[02:17.68] Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
[02:23.75] If these heights should bring my fall
[02:28.80] Let me be your own
[02:31.73] Icarian carrion
[02:35.65] If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
[02:42.06] Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
[02:48.99]
[02:51.09] If I should fall, on that day
[02:57.38] I only pray, don't fall away from me
[03:03.10]
[00:06.64] Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
[00:13.56]
[00:20.89] I feel lighter than I have in so much time
[00:24.93] I've crossed the border line of weightless
[00:28.68] One deep breath out from the sky
[00:32.61] I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
[00:37.56] All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world
[00:44.75] And though I burn how could I fall?
[00:51.06] When I am lifted by every word you say to me
[01:00.02] If anything could fall at all, it's the world
[01:08.95] That falls away from me
[01:13.67]
[01:16.63] You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
[01:21.12] While you're as heavy as the world
[01:24.64] That you hold your hands beneath
[01:29.10] Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground
[01:33.60] But I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down
[01:41.31] Leave it now, I am sky-bound
[01:47.32] If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me
[01:56.03] We'll float away, but if we fall
[02:02.39] I only pray, don't fall away from me
[02:11.69] I do not have wings, love, I never will
[02:17.68] Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
[02:23.75] If these heights should bring my fall
[02:28.80] Let me be your own
[02:31.73] Icarian carrion
[02:35.65] If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
[02:42.06] Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
[02:48.99]
[02:51.09] If I should fall, on that day
[02:57.38] I only pray, don't fall away from me
[03:03.10]
