hozier has some balls turning the story of icarus into a song about flying recklessly towards the sun, your lover, who destroys you, but in reality it was just your lust for the sun that destroyed you all along and she was just being herself, its not her fault that her radiance melted your wings and you fell into the sea, only to be cast into an endless swirling windstorm where you can't even fly, to live out the rest of your torturous eternal life with the rest of those who let their lust control them.

Shout out to everyone who is far too ambitious for their own good and is so desperate to prove themselves that they’d burn up under the pressure of it. Don’t fly too close to the sun my friends, but if you must do not be ashamed of falling.
