Told from the point of view of Icarus, the son of Daedalus. Imprisoned on an island, Daedalus made wings out of feathers, string, and wax for them both. Icarus flew too close to the sun, which ruined his wings, and he fell to his death.
The song serves as an inspiration to push beyond the limits of...
[Verse 1]
I've waited for this moment all my life and more
And now I see so clearly what I could not see before
The time is now or never and this chance won't come again
Throw caution and myself into the wind
[Chorus 1]
There's no promise of safety
With these secondhand wings
But I'm willing to find out
What impossible means
A leap of faith
[Verse 2]
Parody of an angel, miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason screaming after me
"You've flown far too high, boy, now you're too close to the sun
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
[Pre-Chorus]
But how will I know limits from lies
If I never try?
[Chorus 2]
There's no promise of safety
With these secondhand wings
But I'm willing to find out
What impossible means
I'll climb through the heavens
On feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax
Means nothing to me
Nothing to me
Nothing to me
[Bridge]
I will touch the sun or I will die trying
Die trying
[Chorus 3]
Fly on these secondhand wings
Willing to find out what impossible means
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me
Nothing to me
Means nothing to me
Miles above the sea
