What an interesting concept for a song! The story of Icarus has always been a lesson of hubris - but that of overambition. In this song Starset almost flips that on its head and calls out Icarus for not being ambitious enough. It's like Icarus wanted to escape the Earth but never committed fully to the mission. It fits well into the whole theme of the Horizons album: Wanting to move forward, but constantly getting in our own way, both as individuals and as a species.
Yes, Unbecoming and Icarus are a perfect combination, I love how so many of your songs can be thematically matched up together, even between different albums!
@Selin Naz Sur I'm not sure but Back to the Earth also sounds like a future reference to the Icarus haha (There is a space probe burning as it enters the atmosphere and there is also the sun in the corner?)😅
The “lalalala” for some reason makes me think it is Icarus singing. It is distorted and faded, Almost like a faint memory of his confidence that he felt before he met his undoing.
Thematically, this sounds more like a response to TRIALS than anything. Where TRIALS was more optimistic about the future, believing that the things we go through strengthen us, ICARUS tells the story of someone who failed, but refuses accountability. Really interesting, if that was the way it was intended.
Personally reminds me of someone who used relationships to pull herself out of her depression, but her toxicity and her lack of self care destroyed said relationships and flung her further down
personally whenever reading about Icarus's story, i feel both angry and sad for Icarus. in a sense this song reminds me of the relationship we have with ourselves as humans. we have dreams, thoughts and ideals about the world but then insecurities like Icarus did. Icarus was made for skies but called his bluff, these lyrics make me think that Icarus himself was aware of the potential he had but scared of facing all the consequences or realizing the hardships he has to go through so then blaming the world for tying him to the ground. the song indeed is open to interpretations (many of them actually) but Icarus sometimes feels like "a manifest of facing yourself" to me. such an art!
@@AreoX-kb9qg I was referring to the vocals on the chorus mostly, where he hits that high note then a few notes later adds some grit and aggression for a second. It's almost identical to Carnivore and the way he does it there.
@@itwasntme300 Bro I have been repeating ICARUS and SYMBIOTIC from 11 PM to 3AM last night, lmao. I lost count now. (I did give a round 2 for the other songs, don't worry).
I absolutely love that moment in the 3rd Chorus where Dustin says Icarus after the music cuts off, and then picks back up after. That and the Chorus is just... 👌
Such a banger holy shit, I can’t stop thinking about how ECHO and this song just feel so right together, I feel like both songs could be a response to each other ICARUS to ECHO or ECHO to ICARUS.
it would probably go echo, icarus then unbecoming as unbecoming is after icarus fell into the water, the two songs are majorly linked Edit: or even icarus, unbecoming then echo, echo at the end to show that icarus has become the thing he wasn't
This song is a perfect example of how well they mix story telling with their music. Top tier writing for this, and as always, a beautiful performance from Dustin and the band.
I think one of the hardest things to do, as a Starset fan, is ranking their songs. I mean, you get powerful head bangers like, Point Of No Return, love songs like Satellite, there is nothing these guys can't do, except, for the truly impossible: Make a bad song. And I love 'em for it!
This band is beyond amazing. They just have a sound that cannot be replicated and it always leaves me coming back for more. I'm so excited for them to come to STL. I'll be screaming this song. Truly *otherworldly*
After over a week of listening to every song in the horizon album, got to say this is probably my favorite. That being said Starset outdid themselves once again and I love all their songs
You ever feel like he's talking about you? Like you're destined for greatness, but afraid if your own ambition, crippled by your own potential? Just me? Okay...
I've only been a Starset fan since early last year. The first song I heard was Unbecoming from the Arknights trailer and ever since then, I bought all their songs. I am completely enthralled by their music and I have never stopped listening. It's all so beautiful and emotional and I love it. I hope they keep this going and are able to continue capturing the magic for years to come.
same really only came here because unbecoming and monster being used in the trailers in the end i prolly contracted some kind of addiction to starset and i think that's the best outcome
I just really fell in love with this song immediately, it's been on repeat all night long. These guys are so special, so skilled, and they are unique on a higher level with every new set of songs they bring to our lives. Starset's music sets my soul on fire!
This song matches and balances the two feelings so emotively. That feeling of confidence and elation, rising high. And that feeling of endless failure and falling. And it’s beautiful. A meteoric rise and fall, trying and burning up to transcend. A perpetual hubris crossed with an endless determination. Equal parts admirable and pitiful.
That was a subversion! They dropped the beat on the last verse! That is (to my knowledge) the first time a Starset song has done that, and it's thematic considering the subject of Icarus. Another banger guys! Continuing the tradition of none of your songs being worse than great! :D I'm excited for the next one!
So I found this song at the end of my freshman year of high school (2022-2023), during a project that I wanted to complete no matter how much I'd overwork myself. And my first reaction was "I'm in this picture and I don't like it, but at the same time I feel so seen." Coincidentally one of my chosen names is Icarus haha
Hands down the best starset song I've ever heard and that's saying something considering I've loved most if not all of their other songs. Never disappoint. Always worth the wait. Unbelievable
Devolution : its anarchy Its de-evolution Annihilated love : it was anarchy With your weaponry you killed off all that was Infected : go to the end man , dont quit on me Get what you wanted......... Anarchy Prepare for the next ANARCHIES album
Honestly yes and no, actually like this version of it better because of the way it portrays icarus. I always loved the tale because it was a story about how overconfidence and ambition ruin people and ultimately killed icarus but I love this one but this interprets it in a way no one has thought of before, his hubris wasnt his ambition or overconfidence it was his lack there of. It's basically saying he could have reached the sun and lived if he actually tried, if he was serious about it and that just is 🤏💋
@@alexrusset8614 yea, i probably won't get all the song symbols. Just a few of my favorites (which are the majority of both albums.) I feel like the constellation was the symbol for Infected tho
I'm debating if I want to get this symbol on me. The song feels like someone wrote it about my struggles at the moment and I've always wanted a wing tattoo. Might have to find a creative way to combine it with the phoenix feather idea I had....
i like that the logo in this video is both a wing and a soaring down meteor, perfectly representing icarus who flew too high too the sky without minding the danger of his wing's durability
This is my number one motivation song, my goal is to start a series of social businesses in order to contribute to causes I believe in, every time I feel down, I listen to this song (and to the whole album actually) in order to remember that the ball is in my court. Thank you Starset!
So I was a huge fan of Transmissions and Vessels, listened to both on release and saw them on their vessells tour. I didnt like Divisions when it came out so I had no idea this album came out. I have now listened to this album entirely MULTIPLE times in a row. Its very obviously their best and most refined work. I dont understand why people hate on this album.
Dang, this song makes me think of both Kid Icarus: Uprising and the Greek Myth of Icarus. Absolutely amazing and with a very powerful message to top it off. Makes me feel like there’s hope for a worn-down, broken soul such as myself.
It's like the song is trying to humiliate Icarus for wanting to leave Earth (as the song before this is OTHERWORLDLY) which... isn't really a bad thing considering Icarus' story. Even if he wanted to leave Earth, his wings won't handle the pressure from higher altitudes and his wings will only burn whilst falling down the atmosphere. Knowing him, tho, he'll pursue to leave Earth to the best of his abilities. > you fall back down, back down again And with Icarus' ambitions - with the homemade wings and all - he'll definitely fall back down to Earth. It'll take countless attempts before he manages to leave the Earth's atmosphere... and I doubt he'd be alive by then. But the good thing is that we manage to fulfill his wish - leave planet Earth via spaceships. No wings, however. Also, I love how the intro of the song sounds like something that would play in a slowmo scene of someone's silhouette falling from the sky with the Sun's visible circle shape just behind them, and once they hit the waters, the song comes in. Another amazing work, STARSET!!!
I love how they choose Icarus as the title. Icarus in greek mythology tell the story of a man that ignore a forewarning and meet an unfortunate fate. The same fate that humanity suffer during 'Devolution' humanity became too comfortable with machine that cause their own downfall. Icarus also a nod to Project ICARUS, an university student's made project about contigency plan to defend the earth from impending danger, which in the context of the project is an asteriod but in context of starset is BMI. And the song implied multiple test and failure, icarus and the whole Horizon album may have take place somewhere when BMI still new and still underdevelopment and this whole album is just a big forewarning regarding BMI.
Disagree a little bit, this song it's an absolute banger but i think otherwordly, devolution, something Wicked and leaving this world behind are better
@@arenpugman granted all of Starset’s songs are amazing but this is especially amazing imo (LTWB is my second favorite with Symbiotic in third and Otherworldly in fourth)
I just love how the symbol for this song looks both like a wing and like an object burning as it enters the atmosphere
They are true artists. Something the mainstream doesn't have much of.
Daaaamn you're right!
Probably purposeful
Never thought of it as something burning as it comes inside the atmosphere. Quick catch
I was thinking the same thing! Like a meteor lol
What an interesting concept for a song! The story of Icarus has always been a lesson of hubris - but that of overambition. In this song Starset almost flips that on its head and calls out Icarus for not being ambitious enough. It's like Icarus wanted to escape the Earth but never committed fully to the mission.
It fits well into the whole theme of the Horizons album: Wanting to move forward, but constantly getting in our own way, both as individuals and as a species.
I wonder if DREAMCATCHER is supposed to be like a conclusion to this song. Pay attention to the lyrics of that one and it makes sense.
Icarus is my favorite Greek myth. It's so cool to see a modern rock/ whatever the heck genre Starset is made a song with it.
This is the most woke comment of all time wth
@@ebev91 My thoughts exactly! I feel like there's a connection between Icraus and Dreamcatcher.
Where Icarus went wrong is he tried to leave during the day. If he'd gone at night then his wings wouldn't have melted
"You got your chin held high and your chest pumped up... the replica of a runner up"
WHAT A ROAST
That line just came up after I read what you wrote 🤣
Me at the end of my freshman year-
The most hyped song did not disappoint
Mis webos son tus ojos
Honestly neither did the album, it's like masterpiece after masterpiece with these guys!!
@@TheGamezfreak13 Starset doesn't know what the word "disappoint" means.
When a song has an epic title, U expect it 2 B epic. This took epic and smashed into next century!
My god, a Ghost spotted in the wild. Never thought I'd see one :0, under a Starset video no less.
Yes, Unbecoming and Icarus are a perfect combination, I love how so many of your songs can be thematically matched up together, even between different albums!
I noticed that too!
This one is also a mirror of Where The Skies End
"Eyes in the dead still water"
"Under the water I wait"
Damn... The fact that I realized Unbecoming had references to the Icarus myth just now 😂
@Selin Naz Sur I'm not sure but Back to the Earth also sounds like a future reference to the Icarus haha (There is a space probe burning as it enters the atmosphere and there is also the sun in the corner?)😅
@@eminberkunal3919 They sure love their mythology lol
This song brings more heat than the Sun did to Icarus's wings 🔥
For real!
For real!!
For real!
For real!
For real!
The “lalalala” for some reason makes me think it is Icarus singing. It is distorted and faded, Almost like a faint memory of his confidence that he felt before he met his undoing.
I could see it
Damn you make this song a lot sadder
I just love the sound it fucking tickles my eardrums just right lol
Thematically, this sounds more like a response to TRIALS than anything. Where TRIALS was more optimistic about the future, believing that the things we go through strengthen us, ICARUS tells the story of someone who failed, but refuses accountability. Really interesting, if that was the way it was intended.
Personally reminds me of someone who used relationships to pull herself out of her depression, but her toxicity and her lack of self care destroyed said relationships and flung her further down
I like to think that "Dreamcatcher" is "Icarus" who got his sh*t together
@@davewright2314 Very interesting perspective. I like that!
Maybe a response to Echo?
@@davewright2314 or himself. Let's be honest here men and women both do this. But I do see your point about the song. Good perspective
personally whenever reading about Icarus's story, i feel both angry and sad for Icarus. in a sense this song reminds me of the relationship we have with ourselves as humans. we have dreams, thoughts and ideals about the world but then insecurities like Icarus did.

Juiciest riffs of the year 🎸
I had high expectations for this one, but damn, it easily exceeds them. Reminds me of Carnivore and Unbecoming. Absolute masterpiece.
Alchemy is Carnivore 2.0 change my mind
The unbecoming parallel is so natural... "I clipped my wings and fell from flight"
@@torunsmok5890 Exactly!
@@iDerp69 ALCHEMY is more like TELEKINETIC than Carnivore.

I'm obsessed with songs that tell a deep story. It makes me seem pretty picky but I just like music that has meaning
After listening all the songs many times I can say Icarus is my favourite.
The meaning, the lyrics, the instrumental...everything is perfect.
This whole song is fire but the part from 2:41-3:12 is my favorite part of this entire song and album.

And that feeling of endless failure and falling.
And it’s beautiful. A meteoric rise and fall, trying and burning up to transcend.
A perpetual hubris crossed with an endless determination.
Equal parts admirable and pitiful.
This might be the first Starset song I’ve ever had an issue with. The main riff fucking SLAPS and I need more of it. I wish the song was longer
this song made me remember why Starset is number one
I love how each song has its own logo, and the song name and lyrics at the bottom. Excellent presentation for such a simple video.
ME ENCANTAN ESTOS ICONOS Y TODO LO VISUAL, en conjunto con las canciones queda epico y perfecto!
Es lo que le da mas estilo a sus canciones

Something Wicked.
@@thelightyears_ N O
This song is the opposite of Where The Skies End.
They do end downwards too though
Looks like a crossover with unbecoming
It sounds like this song just happened before falling back to the earth
I love how the theme of this song is about someone who has failed on something many times, but never gave up and kept trying their best.
My favourite Greek myth, turned into a song? Omg yes please
The beginning to this song gave me total chills…anyone else?
Yesterday I had a major personal victory. Kinda proud of that accomplishment, despite it seeming like Nothing to the world.
One can say, Icarus didn't fall
love this song
This song is GOATED
3:42 instrumental sounds beautiful
Hands down the best starset song I've ever heard and that's saying something considering I've loved most if not all of their other songs. Never disappoint. Always worth the wait. Unbelievable
Starset tells a story that I never want to end.
Devolution : its anarchy
Its de-evolution
Annihilated love : it was anarchy
With your weaponry you killed off all that was
Infected : go to the end man , dont quit on me
Get what you wanted......... Anarchy
Prepare for the next ANARCHIES album

if i pass this year is going to be for this new album, one of the good and best things that this year gave me for now, Thanks starset
@DancingPsycho let us see o.o
Dang, this song makes me think of both Kid Icarus: Uprising and the Greek Myth of Icarus.
Absolutely amazing and with a very powerful message to top it off. Makes me feel like there’s hope for a worn-down, broken soul such as myself.
I think this might be my favorite starset song ever
"You always fly right up, until it burns..."🔥🔥🔥
Why was this the song that made me cry?! Love it so muuuuuuuch!
I’m so glad I found this! Love all their stuff!
Starset released new album. Moment like this gives reason to live. It is worth to live due to moment like this.
released*
This band is phenomenal !!! I only discovered them a few weeks ago and their music has me spellbound...they are incredible!
New album's songs look like more mythology based AND I LOVE IT
Anyone else feel like each album is just another part of the story starset has created?
Because it is.....
It is
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played this, & it continues to floor me just like the first time I heard it. It’s mystically masterful.
This whole album makes me feel like im transcending into the beautiful outskirts of the galaxy
I got the wing as a tattoo yesterday and it was a v good decision
Did i have to share this? No, but did I *want* to? For the hell of it? Absolutely.
Icarus, take your turn🎶🎶 this song is all for me🤘🥰
It's like the song is trying to humiliate Icarus for wanting to leave Earth (as the song before this is OTHERWORLDLY) which... isn't really a bad thing considering Icarus' story.

Never have I decided on my favorite song on any album so fast! This is officially my favorite song by these guys!
Is this the best song on the album? Probably.
I've been waiting for this since Satellite's Morse code 🙏
Wait, Satellite has morse code? Oh hell yes I love cryptography
What did the Morse code say?
What? Satellite had Morse code?
I love how they choose Icarus as the title. Icarus in greek mythology tell the story of a man that ignore a forewarning and meet an unfortunate fate. The same fate that humanity suffer during 'Devolution' humanity became too comfortable with machine that cause their own downfall.
