"Here's what they don't tell you: Icarus laughed as he fell. Threw his head back and yelled into the winds, arms spread wide, teeth bared to the world. (There is bitter triumph in crashing when you should be soaring.) The wax scorched his skin, ran blazing trails down his back, his thighs, his ankles, his feet. Feathers floated like prayers past his fingers, close enough to snatch back. Death breathed burning kisses against his shoulders, where the wings joined the harness. The sun painted everything in shades of gold. (There is a certain beauty in setting the world on fire and watching from the center of the flames.)" - Fiona

Of golden shores and streams of light
Icarus, the boy, took his flight
His father's words too shallow for his joy
But alas, tragedy struck and befell the boy
His eyes gaze at the meridians
His smile stretched towards the eagles

The wings are slowly fading

His father couldn't go near him
The clouds so bright and beautiful
How he longed to make this moment last forever

His wings were slowly crumbling

The bird has flown out of its cage
It sung in a thrill of joyous flight
As it turned a new yet dying page
Icarus saw his fate too late

His wings were nothing but a lie

Feathers crumbling like dust
Into the abyss they were lost
He stared defiantly at the horizon
And raised his hands upwards
Heavenwards...to freedom

And in the final moment...he was free

The waves embraced the boy
The skies will remember the cries of a father
And the memory of a boy with wings too loose
A boy once named Icarus

Edit: 6/5/19. So I came back after maybe a few months and can't believe how many likes this has gotten, thank you so much!❤️

I was about to eat a cookie, but as I listen to this, it's about to be the most majestic cookie ever

When Icarus took flight, in those precious few moments, he had experienced what it meant to be truly free, and in those few precious moments, a lifetime was lived.

Daedalus: here are your wings son, don't fly too high
Icarus: *flies too high and dies*
Daedalus: am I a joke to you?

“All limits are self imposed.” - Icarus

“Never regret thy fall, O Icarus of the fearless flight.
For the greatest tragedy of them all, is never to feel the burning light.” - Oscar Wilde

When I decided to turn my life around and sober up, I listened to this song non stop. Really made an impact for me. Crazy how music can do that for us.

The loneliest people are the kindness
The saddest people smile the brightness
The most damaged people are the wisest
All because they don't want to see anyone suffer the way they do.
Not my words but spread them ~ゼロ

I found this by accident and I'm ravaging the loop. I'm crying it's so beautiful

Icarus, you wanted freedom and happiness but reality melted your dreams and wings like it did with many people today.

1960:we will have flying cars in the future
2019:At least we have good music

[KatalinaKris]

Did anybody else cry listening to this? Like after just imagining such an epic battle scene or something?!

He was looking at the infinite sky
The sun shone brighter and he averted his gaze
The day came finally for what he waited for too long
He smiled at his father for the wings of wax
The courageous boy decided to take his flight.

The wind blew against his face
Currents of wind pushed wings backwards
But he wasn't the one who gave up easily
He spread wings wider and flew through the air
The boy flew higher and higher
Higher than anyone ever could.

He felt the fierce rays of sun, coldness of winds,
V of birds and whiteness of clouds.
Smile formed on his handsome face,
Tears flowed because of joyous flight.

The boy forgot his limits.
He forgot himself flapping his wings.
He flew upwards not knowing the warnings of his father.
He wanted to reach the sun.
He wanted the freedom from miserable earth.

Intensity of sun melted his wings in no time.
He fell down in a greater force as if his flight was just a dream.
His eyes were still fixed at the sun even in his fall,
The mountains began to echo the tragic wail of his father.

He was a stupid boy,
That is what some people may call.
But they will never know how he lived his final moments.
He embraced his death in exchange of freedom.
Freedom was what he sought for and freedom was what he got at last.
His death is not wasted since he inspire to be brave.
He is remembered as the bird of freedom,
His name was Icarus.

Who remembers a time when the comment section wasn't a damn calendar

"Never regret thy fall,
Oh Icarus of the fearless flight
For the greatest tragedy of them all
Is never to feel the burning light"
