This song is soo massively underrated, and this song is probably my favourite thrice song. Strangely uplifting and Dustin does an amazing job of translating the mythic Greek tragedy into something relatable to life with key moments. So many people dont quite get the true meaning behind the cautionary tale of Icarus, Dustin does a great job of pushing the hidden message. "How will i know limits from lies, if i never try!" its a message everyone should take to heart and strive to achieve more than you think you can every day! Thank you Dustin and thank you Thrice!
What's even more awesome is that after he became a father, he wrote Daedalus... who is the father of Icarus, and tells the fathers perspective. Quite creative, and both songs are amazing, both have odd time signatures... brilliant, really
This band is likely the must underrated band ever. They are fabulous wow. I just got turned on to them from someone in a video that said he was inspired by them. My son goes oh yeah Mom I had the Artist in the Ambulance album on repeat for months! Love it!

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 This chance won't come again Throw caution and myself to 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 up to me "You flew too high, for now your too close to the sun Soon your makeshift wings will come undone" But how will I know limits from life if I never try? There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings But I'm willing to find out what impossible means. Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me. Nothing to me Nothing to me I will touch the sun or I will die trying. Die trying. Fly on these secondhand wings Willing to find out what impossible means Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me Nothing to me Means nothing to me Miles above the sea.
5/4 or 5/8?? Fucking love Thrice and their crazy time signatures. This song goes from 5/4 (or 5/8) to 6/4 or 6/8 - and then back to 5's. Insanity. I love it. :)
Favorite song off this album it just is amazingly composed. Artist in the Ambulance is by far my favorite album of Thrice's. Their new stuff is pretty good but just does not have the same heaviness/impact of this album/Identity Crisis.
At this time the only thing keeping me awake was the sunlight and a hydroflask full of soda. Halfway through the song I have this guy come in and say “I DON’T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE MELTING POINT OF WAX, I ONLY CARE ABOUT HOW THIS WILL AFFECT LEBRON’S LEGACY” That sentence made me giggle for a few moments
Just found this song from my mythology class its about Icarus , Daedalus son who didnt heed his fathers warning to not fly to close to the sun when escaping Minos and his wings made of wax melted and he fell into the sea and drowned.

@@a_angell_ ah, I see. Thanks for the clarity.

Everyday everything to the fullest. That logic from everyone would purpose memory for future history.

You’re so right. But sillhoute is my favorite

I can't believe it's been 14 years since I first bought this CD.
Time slips through my fingers like grains of sand
Were you sitting on the beach 🌴 while listening to thrice when you wrote this haha😎👍
That's how I feel about it too... But I say like water instead :p
18 now. Getting old is great ain't it? Ha!
Ph1LzA send's his Crow's !
This record was my introduction to Thrice, so it holds a special place in my heart, but honestly all their records are awesome in their own way.
Immensely underrated
Dimitris Vasileias I could not agree more.
I absolutely LOVE this song brother!!
Oh, fellow Greek if I got that right (from the older reply)? Nice :p
And yh, they are, still...

I'm here because of a mythology podcast and gotta say the storyteller has a really good music taste
What podcast?
@@garretwadden618 Let's talk about myths baby on spotify
Okay thank you
Seems like I'm on the same journey through the musical tastes of Greek mythologists 😅
i came here from the same podcast haha
Every song on this album is excellent but the lyrics for this particular one are legendary.
The whole album is great
One of the best albums ever. And proud that Dustin has faith.
he's no longer Christian.

The Crow Father has sent us over
Favorite band and always will be
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
This chance won't come again
Throw caution and myself to 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 up to me
"You flew too high, for now your too close to the sun
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
But how will I know limits from life if I never try?
There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
Nothing to me
Nothing to me
I will touch the sun or I will die trying.
Die trying.
Fly on these secondhand wings
Willing to find out what impossible means
Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me
Nothing to me
Means nothing to me
Miles above the sea.
I boo you because you thought this was necessary and you want likes. Fuck you. Let the music speak fucker.
Anyone can look up lyrics lol.
@@iwatchvideos297
Dude, literally stfu
Why do u guys insist on doing this shit? I don't get it. I see it all the time and it's not impressing I'd that's what u guys are after
lol can you do that on every Thrice song so I don't have to open another tab and google lyrics Thrice and song name - insert crying emoji
This has always been my favorite Thrice song. I love it so much!
Thrice is the best
first time hearin this one... man... BANG-ER, lemme just add this one to my liked songs
I'm here because of a MaepleTea animation ✨👌🏼
I’ve waited for this moment, all my life…. And more!
This song directly inspired my early-mid 20s, and still does 💚
5/4 or 5/8??
Fucking love Thrice and their crazy time signatures.
This song goes from 5/4 (or 5/8) to 6/4 or 6/8 - and then back to 5's.
Insanity. I love it. :)
3/4 to 5/4 to 4/4 at the bridge then back to 3/4.
MRRogers M320 Depending on how you perceive breaks, yes.
Favorite song off this album it just is amazingly composed. Artist in the Ambulance is by far my favorite album of Thrice's. Their new stuff is pretty good but just does not have the same heaviness/impact of this album/Identity Crisis.
Still legendary ❤
That last minute tho 👌🤘
Songwriting at its very best
There’s too much fucking brilliance in this song.
I whoop wholesale ass as Kid Icarus on Smash when I listen to this.
Hopefully my daughter likes this kind of music because that would be awesome to pass Thrice on to her
I do a few acoustic covers for my kids and they love singing along but the heavier versions they go apeshit for.
I wanna give a shout out to Lee Richardson for introducing me to Thrice all those years ago
Saw bring me the horizon on the dtr tour I'm a grandma of 3 and well it wasn't bad 😃
I’m there man, 2024!!
This was the first album I stole from FYE back in the day. Good times amazing album.
How will I know limits from lies if I never try
So damn good.
The lyrics tell the story of Icarus.
Then they did the other perspectives from his father in Thrice - Daedalus
Duh.

Have you heard their song called Daedalus?

One of THE best songs ever written, you can fight me, but you’ll lose, emo girls never age 💅🔥
