It's a reference to the story of Icarus. Talking about the wings they made to fly away, and them melting in the sun. It's talking about his determination to get back to her - whatever it takes - even though she thinks it won't work ("fixed from their birth"). |

Imagine this chick is, metaphorically, the sun, which has "blinded" him. "Icarus is not a tee shirt or a swan song, no, he is born again and it's not easy being me" refers to his metaphorical role as the character Icarus from this story. "...tee shirt or a swan song, no, he is born again" emphasizes how serious he is about getting this girl. "...but I can't promise I will mend or bend when you believe that we are fixed now from our birth and I've just fallen back to earth" refers to his stubbornness in getting her back, yet his wings fail when he gets too close to her. "...still you know I'll try again cause I believe that we are lucky, we are golden, we have stolen manners in the days when we were one" once again referring to his determination to get her, an allusion to the sun about them being "golden," and the stolen manners referring to relationships habits existing to this day. |
