Thrice - “The Melting Point of Wax”

Lyrics -
I've waited for this moment all my life and more
And now I see so clearly what I could not see before
The time is now or never and this chance won't come again
Throw caution and myself into the wind
There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means
A leap of faith
Parody of an angel, miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason screaming after me
"You've flown far too high boy
Now you're too close to the sun
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
But how will I know limits from lies if I never try
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me
I will touch the sun or I will die trying
Fly on these secondhand wings
Miles above the sea

bruh old Thrice with new Thrice tones is fucking amazing.

[damorpheus]

This is fascinating. Like the first recording seems like the rage of a teen, unjustly held back and dying for approval, this is the desperation of someone never allowed to live. My god this is so different in a beautiful way.

[DeadboltDame]

My favorite song in the whole world, followed very closely by Stare at the Sun. Thank you all for redoing these.

[Josh-Cruz]

Who else can write a song like this? this song is AMAZING!

[JeyDB]

Just when I thought this chorus couldn't get any better...

[grindcoremaniac]

Man I'll never get tired of singing/yelling these lyrics

[bluepearl_]

2:42 bruh that transition had me falling to my knees

[kid_monkee]

oh my this with Dustin's aged voice is NUT worthy

[vanquishmp]

All the nostalgic feelings! So many powerful lyrics and messages embedded in these songs. This was my favorite album of 2003 and is still an album I listen to regularly today. Thanks for doing this gents; the old Thrice tunes with the new Thrice tones hit differently!

[pwercrdz]

Yea i think they read my comments, thanks thrice :).

[Orgodemir]

Huge improvement upon the first version, and I loved the first version. Vocals are incredibly well seasoned. Unrelated note: Beezy Beez don't you fucking respond with your bot responses.

[allsinnersmusic]

Love the song, love the album, you guys jave been awesome since always

[DavidRom-jz]

When did they make this 😮😮 I'm late to the show 😅😅 I love thrice since th beginning.

[PanasonicYouth]

It’s the same song, but better in every way. You can hear so much the ways that Thrice has improved in their musicianship and skill over the last 20 years, especially so in this track.

[Guitaristlife]

thank you for remaking this album. what a treasure!

[paultregoning]

Can't wait for the tour! Got tickets for Sydney Australia already! Must be my 10th time seeing you guys! So pumped!

[Meowmeowbyebye]

Not all good memories, but memories that are welcome. ❤

(edit) Played 10 months later, for my ascension celebration song. All good memories now. ❤

[JerPlaysGuitar]

I love it! There's just one problem: you removed my beloved viola solo after the first verse 🥲 As a violist in my high school's orchestra, I'm deeply offended y'all removed my single favorite element from the original album (jk; this is still amazing :D )

[CoolBoyMark]

One of my favorite band. I've sang most songs in Starmaker)) My nickname Alex Stranger)

[ricobonifacio]

Maybe a controversial take, but I like this better than the original. I never liked the early stuff much.
