Icarus


Ambition was just a dream,
Thinking of what you could be,
Reach for the Sun, don't look down,
Never-mind your father's frown.

Oh Icarus, oh Icarus, oh Icarus,
Come down,
Come down.

They tell you about their mistakes,
Tell them you don't care,
You have your own piece of life,
You'll learn from your share.

Oh Icarus, oh Icarus, oh Icarus,
Fall down,
Fall down.


And you'll go down to the grave peacefully,
Knowing what satisfied you,
Happiness is really all you felt,
When your waxen wings began to melt...

  1. I like the way you've used a greek myth to explain what you really mean... And I think I know what you mean... I hope to God I do... But still, love it... A bit short, but the great thing is f8... In those few lines and words, you've put out your heart... Reading between the lines
