Most forget that Icarus once flew
Just as our success can go just as fast as it came.
Those thorns and branches are grinding under our feet.
Why must life be so cruel?
There is no other scene like it.
You should be aware that throughout life,
we occasionally simply shut our minds.
All of those solutions, which we so desperately want,
look like the many tyrants of yesterday.
However, do not be troubled or discouraged—good times are coming.
You won't have to conform
if you look outside the box.
Be brave, happy, and confident.
You weren't meant to cry.
These things, so certain today,
may vanish immediately.
I believe Icarus was just coming to the end of his victory
rather than failing as he fell.
