I agree with the Icarus mythology in the first verse. When you are destined for great things, doing very well in life, it is usually expected that you succeed. When you fail, the "crowd" can't accept it, and you are left alone (to die). "Noone would see" where you are buried. Or the crowd is carrying him like a hero, but eventually he's forgotten.
