| Is that so, thricerocks? Never knew that. Or at least I can't recall being taught about that. I think I'll ask my teacher about it when I get the chance, thanks. | |

| For those of you who don't know, this song is about the Greek myth of the boy and his dad who were in prison, and his dad made him wings of wax, and told him not too fly too close to the sun. He forgot his dad's warning and took off anyways, the lyrics "Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams, because the melting point of wax means nothing to me" are TOTALLY gorgeous. Awesome song! | |

| Of course this has a literal meaning about the myth of Icarus and the wings of feathers and wax. The deeper meaning to it is obviously about breaking limits. It reminds me of how people sometimes end up loving someone too deeply then the next thing you know that person it gone. Peple will say 'Don't rely on on anyone or anything too much, you never know when you'll lose it." But then what does that mean, live your life never really caring about anything or following dreams at no cost? In the myth Icarus forgot his father's warning. In the song, the voice of reason calls after him and reminds him that he's gone too far, but he keeps climbing anyway. | |
