Icarus Unveiled: A Soaring Journey Beyond Hollywood Lights
Lyrics
I've seen the seen the sun closer than anyone
I've experienced the sun up close more than anyone else has.
Has been
Referring to someone else's experiences with the sun.
I used to fly up for fun out there
I used to fly for fun in that space.
Lost adrift
Feeling lost and adrift.
But it caught me burning softly
The sun's intensity caught me but in a gentle, soft manner.
Cast me down
Thrown down from the sky.
Cast me down
