Icarus
Icarus' Warning: Life's Limits Explored
Lyrics
Don't stick to your guns, son
Don't be stubborn and inflexible, my child
Play by the rules
Follow societal norms and regulations
Keep your head down, son
Maintain a low profile and avoid unnecessary attention
Don't be a fool
Don't make foolish decisions or act recklessly
Don't be defiant, son
Avoid being openly resistant or challenging authority
You're as stubborn as a mule
Your stubbornness is comparable to a mule's obstinacy
I know your limits
I understand your limitations
Don't lose your cool
Maintain your composure and don't lose your temper
Time to grow up now
It's time to mature and behave appropriately for your age
Why don't you act your age?
Why are you not acting in a manner expected for someone of your age?
I should have known better
I regret not foreseeing the consequences
Just a bird in a gilded cage
You are confined and restricted like a caged bird
Don't be bound to your boundaries
Don't be constrained by self-imposed limitations
Icarus got foolish
Icarus made a foolish mistake
And here's the reason why
Let me explain the cause of his foolishness
As he'd never lived his own life
Because he never truly lived life on his own terms
He may as well die
His existence became meaningless, so he might as well face death
So Icarus may have never
If Icarus hadn't received parental advice
Fallen from the sky
He wouldn't have experienced a tragic fall from the sky
If daddy didn't tell him
If his father hadn't cautioned him
Don't aim too high
Not to aim too high, the tragedy might have been averted
