Today, ARTMS deliver one of their most cinematic, powerful releases yet with “Icarus”—a song that reimagines the classic myth not as a cautionary tale, but as a declaration of rebirth and fearless transformation. Where Icarus once fell, ARTMS soars—wings singed, yes, but stronger than ever.
And the MV? Be sure to also check out the 14+ minute Cinematic Version! A visual masterpiece. Moody, bold, and symbolic—don’t miss it. 🎥✨
Let’s dive into these lines from the chorus:
“눈이 부신 새로운 세계로 더 다가가
다시 태어나”
“I reach closer toward a dazzling new world
And am born again.”

🌤️ Key Expressions to Learn:
1️⃣ 눈이 부신 – Dazzling / blinding (to the eye)
• 눈 – eye
• 부시다 – to dazzle, to shine so brightly it hurts your eyes
→ A world so full of light and possibility, it’s almost overwhelming.
2️⃣ 새로운 세계 – A new world
• 새로운 – new
• 세계 – world
→ Not just change, but complete transformation—a new realm, a new self.
3️⃣ 다가가 – Move closer to
• 다가가다 – to approach
• Here, it’s metaphorical: approaching the unknown without fear.
4️⃣ 다시 태어나 – Be reborn
• 다시 – again
• 태어나다 – to be born
→ The ultimate message: even if you fall, you rise. And when you do, you’re not the same—you’re greater.

💡 Language & Myth Tip:
Unlike the traditional Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and perished, ARTMS reframes the fall as part of a greater cycle. “다시 태어나” isn’t just poetic—it’s revolutionary. In their universe, pain doesn’t end you. It refines you.

💬 Why It Matters:
“Icarus” is not just a comeback. It’s a manifesto. It’s ARTMS saying: We’ve fallen. We’ve burned. But we never stopped flying. This is their phoenix moment—and maybe it can be yours too.
🕊️ Drop a 🔥 if you’re ready to fly into your own dazzling new world.
