Nicarus
Rising Beyond Limits: Nicarus' Journey to the Sun
Lyrics
Don't fly, too close to the sun
Warning against excessive risk-taking or ambition.
Its good advice for everyone
Applicable advice for everyone's benefit.
Take it from someone who's tried before
Advice coming from someone who attempted but couldn't succeed.
But failed to soar
Failed to achieve great heights or success.
It's good advice
Reiteration of the advice to think carefully before attempting risky endeavors.
Y'know just to think twice before you try to fly
Suggesting caution before taking the leap to avoid failure.
Cuz you don't wanna fall
Desire to avoid a downfall or failure.
Back down to the sea and drown like me
Expressing the fear of failure and ending up in a situation of despair.
I hear that you're one of us
Recognition of someone having a similar experience.
Got these from Daedalus
Received advice or knowledge from a figure like Daedalus, the skilled craftsman.
They call me, Nicarus
Self-identification as Nicarus, known for possessing wings and attempting flight.
Cuz I've got these wings and I try to fly
Expressing the attempt to fly despite challenges.
I try to fly, So high, up into the sun
Persistent efforts to reach great heights, aiming for the sun.
But I ignore everyone I said, 'Look at ME', yeah
Ignoring advice or warnings, seeking attention and recognition.
Flyin' up to the sky, higher than the birds
Flying exceptionally high, driven by an unknown impulse.
I don't know why, I just gotta go, oh
Feeling compelled to continue the pursuit without understanding why.
Ya' see I'm not to blame, I'm like a moth to a flame
Comparing oneself to a moth attracted to danger or risk.
I gotta, fly-high, up so high
Determined to ascend to great heights.
I know I can make it this time
Confident in the ability to succeed this time.
Ooooh It's starting to melt the wax
Noticing the wax on wings starting to melt due to the proximity to the sun.
On my wings, my wings
Emphasizing the vulnerability of the wings.
They all told me this would happen again
Being warned repeatedly about an imminent failure but ignoring the advice.
And again I ignored
Continued disregard for cautionary advice despite foreseeing failure.
They knew what I had in store
Acknowledgment that others predicted the outcome of failure.
They said, that boy never learns
Recognition of a pattern where the individual fails to learn from previous mistakes.
Keeps trying but his wings keep getting burned
Despite continuous attempts, facing repeated setbacks.
His luck won't turn, that's for sure
Acknowledgment that luck doesn't seem to favor success.
But who's keeping score
Indifference towards keeping track or learning from failures.
Not me
Personal denial of responsibility for the consequences.
I fall back down to the sea
Recurring failure and returning to a point of despair.
Can no one rescue me
Expressing a plea for rescue or assistance from the inevitable consequences.
From this catastrophe
Describing the current situation as a catastrophe.
I'm drowning in your seas
Feeling overwhelmed by the difficulties faced.
Just trying to stay afloat long enough
Struggling to survive or endure through tough times.
To watch you come down too, yeah
Expressing a desire to witness someone else's downfall.
But I'm getting out again
Expressing determination to try again despite past failures.
The Sun is coming round, round again
Anticipating a new opportunity with the return of the sun.
I'm getting out of her. You coming with me
Inviting someone to join in the attempt to rise again.
Let's go
Encouragement or invitation to move forward.
