Daan - Icon lyrics

Your rating:

if you try to be an icon
then the icon becomes you
if you try to be a model
it'll catwalk over you
if you try to walk in straight shoes
then these shoes will bend you too
if you try to be a kid again
the kid will kidnap you

you know it's true
the guy you know well that's just you
and there is nothing you can do
just like a door you can't get through
when there is no-one left to fool
don't go and drown in that old pool
don't kid yourself

so don't try to be an icon
con the i inside of you
that picture you've been painting
doesn't look a thing like you
i'll agree that it's a nice try
but when your paint is dry
we are all just little icons
super you and super i

you know it's true
the guy you know well that's just you
and there is nothing you can do
just like a door you can't get through
when there is no-one left to fool
don't go and drown in that old pool
don't kid yourself

i need someone to show me
just what i threw away
i need a pretty angel
to present it on a tray
you've never liked the icon
said that guy looked pretty strange
but you've never tried to change me
and that's how I came to change

you know it's true
the guy you know well that's just you
and there is nothing you can do
just like a door you can't get through
when there is no-one left to fool
don't go and drown in that old pool
don't kid yourself

when there is no-one left to fool
don't go and drown in that old pool
don't kid yourself

Trancemo: I couldn't have expressed it better myself. Daan is capable of making music that sounds very light and pretty but has a very dark undertone.

een droevig nummer maar wel eerlijk. But uhm how do I put it? You're no devil Daan, just an angry man like me with a lot of skills and a beautiful psychologic background but the icon is just (like) you: the guy you know and he's not prettier than he is and that's very pretty with a dark dent (like Anakin Skywalker, sort of). Like the jedi? they started the war, not the siths.
Rumble Ramble buzz buzz buzz, you need some live fur.

About the song: if you try to be an icon, beware of what you wished for, you're already great the way you are, but hey Daan, to me you're some kind of superstar.
