I think it is most definitely about flying, literally, in a plane, but he is using to show that he is free from the people telling him what to do, because he is so high up, no one can talk to him. He is free. If you listen to Icarus II (not a great song...) it talks about a guy who loves to fly planes, but now is in war because of his talent and was chosen to do what he is good at and he dies for it.
Kashmir91086 is Correct in his interpretaaton
It i just as he said.
the thing about Kansas is tat a lot of their lyrics dealt with a spiritial aspect of it.
In fact you couldsay kansas was a christian band in one sense of the word.

I think that MindBreaker is right, especially when you take into context Icarus II, which is clearly a song about the feelings of a pilot in a war, who loves flying but not the war... He grows to wish he was home, in his bed. I think that Icarus Borne on wings of steel, is about his past, where he learned to fly and loved it.

After 9-11, The first part of Icarus... makes me think of Flight 93 or even the WTC attacks. I just heard Kansas play it in a concert tonight. Perhaps they added it to their tour play list after all these years for the same reason?
