Lyric discussion by taylorinhaler 

The song could be about a romantic relationship, but I think it ties in with Greek mythology as well.

Icarus was the son of a craftsman, Daedalus. The main story told about Icarus is his attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. He ignored instructions not to fly too close to the sun, and the melting wax caused him to fall into the sea where he drowned. There are little bits of the song that definitely remind me of Icarus' myth.
