The Hawklords' song "The Only Ones" is inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and fell to his death. The lyrics describe the daredevil nature of beings who fly and soar above the earth, and how they are the only ones who are truly free. The song celebrates the adventurous spirit of those who take risks and aim for the stars, such as the half-human, half-bird creatures who ascend high into the sky. The lyrics also allude to our modern-day pursuit of exploring the unknown and pushing the boundaries of technology and science, with references to "chariots of fury and flame" and "radioscopes, electronic eyes." Overall, "The Only Ones" is a rousing anthem that celebrates the human desire for adventure and discovery.
