about

The song in its lyrical form was already recorded for the White Zombie EP. But as the record company at the time went bankrupt and the EP was locked in the vaults of the Roasting House studios we believed that those songs would never be heard again.
We decided to write some modern DOO music to the lyrics.
The funny thing is that just some time after the release of the Ikaros EP we hear from our record company that they bought the rights of the White Zombie EP and that they have plans to re-release it.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Search for a better day
Search for some action
I know the joy, the satisfaction
Yes I know it’s too, it’s too damn cold
And everybody wants to see how it looks up above
Don’t get too close to me
Too close to me

CHORUS
It was fun to be so high
Just like you I tried to fly

You see, I am no hunter
I am just patient
I know to feel the excitement
Escaping from, from the prison earth
Escaping from your anger
They helped to give you wings
But not to be a survivor
To be a survivor

CHORUS*2

But I’m far too close to the sun

I know I’m flying far too high
Know my golden wings will melt

CHORUS*2

Ikaros, look I’ll come to you
Ikaros, look what they brought me to
