"Daedalus" by Thrice from their album The Alchemy Index Vol. III: Air.

I do not own the band nor their music.

School is taking up a lot of my time, but the rest of the Alchemy Index will come!

Lyrics:

I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me

This island, our prison, our home

And every day we look out at the sea

This place is all he's ever known

But I've got a plan and some wax and some string

Some feathers I stole from the birds

So we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing

A song that's too perfect for words

But son, please keep a steady wing

You know you're the only one that means anything to me

Steer clear of the sun

Or you'll find yourself in the sea

Now safely away, I let out a cry

"We'll make the mainland by noon"

But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky

Maybe I've spoken too soon

But son, please keep a steady wing

And know you're the only one that means anything to me

Steer clear of the sun

Or you'll find yourself in the sea

Won't you look at your wings

They're coming undone

They're splitting at the seams

Steer clear of the sun

For once won't you listen to me?

Oh gods!

Why is this happening to me?

All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free

And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me

I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings

Oh gods!

Why is this happening to me?

All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free

And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me

I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings

Oh gods!

so he is just telling the story (in song) of Daedalus creator of the labyrinth in Greek mythologythey were stuck on an island and in an attempt to escape the inventors made some wings but if they went to close to the sun or the sea the glue would melt and Daedalus's son went too close to the sun he fell in the sea and he died

Can't help but draw a parallel to the pain felt by the Daedalus to God's pain regarding His children (us) sinning against Him, our foolishness and thus our suffering, especially since He has created us for good and wants us to enjoy His blessings and all He has for us.

Sad they are on hiatus, isn't it? All of their stuff is so awesome and they were all like "No, we're going on hiatus for god knows how long" meh..

I've never really ventured much outside of Thrice's Beggar's album and THIS just blew me away. I love the shit out of Thrice. So much.

Guys, listen to 'The melting point of wax' then listen to this. It has a lot more meaning. ; ~ ;

The idea of 'importance' is pretty subjective. What you may find important another may find irrelevant.

But this song isnt about an important story...

Wow...this song totally reminds me of how my father is with me...the song and story seem more about control of a father over his son, afraid of what will be if he falls, or fails. It is about trust in your child that he/she will grow up and soar to new heights not yet explored by their elders...idk...at least that's what I think.

u know.. this band makes me think about all the other singers/bands all over the world. now the other one's seem kinda pointless. dont get me wrong but. i LOVE nicki minaj. but she aint singing about anything important. she's just badshit crazy<3 Thrice on the other hand always seem to have an agenda with their songs. Broken Lungs will always be ontop for me though. its how i found them. im not gonna be stupid and compare singers with eachother. just sayin. Thrice is life. <3.death 2. xD

That may be true, but I consider the songs completely different from one and the other due to the change in perspective.

That's because in legend/myth, Daedalus was the one who created the labyrinth of the Minotaur.
