This song is a fairly literal depiction of the Greek myth of Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. It is a cautionary tale about hubris and overestimating one’s own abilities. Icarus' father Daedalus — an unparalleled master craftsman — fashioned wings from feathers and wax for he and Icaru...
[Verse 1]
She knew it all
It's a fleeting dream
No one can reach the horizon
She knew it all
It's a fleeting dream
No hands can touch the sun
If you can not stop this pathetic time
Oh bring back, bring back
All I need is proof that I lived
[Chorus]
Take me, Take me to the end of the world
It's not mercy that I'm asking
Oh, please
Take me, take me outside of these walls
Longing for a blue sky
Even if my wings may not be spread
[Verse 2]
She knew it all
It's a fleeting dream
No way to catch the moon in the pond
(Catch the moon in the pond)
She knew it all
That it's a fleeting dream
My shadow melds into the night
If you can not stop this pathetic time
Bring back, bring back
For all I need is proof I lived
[Chorus]
Take me, Take me to the end of the world
It's not mercy that I'm seeking
Oh, please
Take me, take me outside of these walls
Longing for a blue sky
Even if my wings are not my own
[Bridge]
Dusk of night descends upon me
Oh please, don't look
I won't be there for you no more
[Chorus]
Take me, take me outside of these walls
It's not mercy that I'm begging
Oh, please
Take me, take me to the end of the world
Longing for the sunshine
Even if my wings may melt away
