about

On their latest single Icarus, the band displays interesting sides of synthwave music. On the one hand, it can be dreamy and thoughtful, on the other - reactive and rushing forward.
The heroine of the song asks herself about her path in life. She's moving forward and everything seems to be alright, yet it's combined with uncertainty, doubts. You have to accelerate just to ignore all obscurity - isn't that a definition of youth? Extreme conditions, exuberance and high spirit - ask Marty McFly about them. Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!

lyrics

[LYRICS]

There’s nothing wrong
With this perfect world
But I’m not sure
I am the one, who stays for more

Wasted days
I can’t take it back
Maybe I’m a bit insane
But there’s no one to take the blame

There’s nothing wrong
With this perfect song
But I’m not sure
I am the one who sings along

And there’s nothing wrong with me
But myself is not who I wanna be
Day by day
I’m fading away, keep fading away
