Listen to this after the 1st part…. “The melting point of wax” (from Icarus’ POV). Daedalus was his father and had to watch his son die after escaping their island prison (spoiler alert)
I am going to see them tomorrow and i consider myself very lucky, they are coming in my hometown. This is my best song by them… Fingers crossed they will play it!
@@mattmurray07 FACTS! From their 1st album to their most recent, they've NEVER let me down... it's tragic how they haven't received far more recognition through all these years really
[Daedalus] I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me This island our prison, our home And everyday we look out at the sea This place is all he's ever known "But I've got a plan," He sung Wax and some string, some feathers I stole from a bird We leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song that's too perfect for words But son, please keep a steady wing And know you're the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea Now safely away, I let out a cry "We'll make the mainland by noon" But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky Maybe I've spoken too soon But son, please keep a steady wing And know you're the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea Won't you look at your wings? They're coming undone They're splitting at the seams Steer clear of the sun, for once won't you listen to me? Oh Gods! Why is this happening to me? All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings Oh Gods! Why is this happening to me? All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings Oh Gods!
I listen to this masterpiece and everything is right with my world. Beautiful lyrics, passionate amazing singing and music that sends me. Unbelievable band and my go to when shit goes bad.
This track hits so hard. I lost my brother a year ago in a tragic mountain climbing accident. He was always so daring in his endeavors. I can't help but hear this song from my mother's perspective and weep.
This is on my playlist for songs to listen to when I need to cry, it's sooo good. I once made the mistake of putting it on my writing playlist and couldn't get anything done because I was crying haha
Been listening g to this song for years and this is always medicen for me thank you for ur art and music resonance The univers ... this one song mythos mythology arcatyps playing out in this fractal Love u all who heart song make music Thank u
@Markus don't mistake me, deadbolt is one of the greatest songs in my opinion, but they have so much more to give us. Most underrated/unknown band ever.

People who dig this song: please explain how this is not the most melodramatic song this band has ever written. Musically, great. Vocally and lyrically... corn cheese doesn't begin to describe it.
Corn cheese, seriously? I'm not looking to fight, I just think you might be missing the beauty of the song. It's not melodramatic, it's tragic, just like the story. But for Thrice fans it stabs the heart a little deeper (imo at least), because of a song they released albums ago called the "Melting point of Wax". Speaking for myself I see the pair of songs as a comparison between arrogant youth, and mournful adult/parenthood , both of which this band has embodied as it's transitioned through the years. Just my take on it though.

2:40 the way the guitar notes descend, symbolizing Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean is absolutely brilliant.
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺🎶🤘🎶🐺
That last "Oh God" has such power behind it. I can't possibly imagine losing a son.

*oh gods
"why is this happening to me"
Just brilliant. What a incredible musical composition.

This song still hits me hard after all these years, it has so much passion in it.
One the greatest songs ever written!
Ya.
And still

Probably their best song, and they have been quite prolific in good songs

Been with them since 98 and will always be a fan!!!
22 years and still underappreciated. This world doesn't deserve this band.

[Daedalus]
I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me
This island our prison, our home
And everyday we look out at the sea
This place is all he's ever known
"But I've got a plan,"
He sung Wax and some string, some feathers I stole from a bird
We leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song that's too perfect for words
But son, please keep a steady wing
And know you're the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
Now safely away, I let out a cry "We'll make the mainland by noon"
But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky
Maybe I've spoken too soon
But son, please keep a steady wing
And know you're the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
Won't you look at your wings?
They're coming undone
They're splitting at the seams
Steer clear of the sun, for once won't you listen to me?
Oh Gods! Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings
Oh Gods! Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings
Oh Gods!

@Josh Moix The passion, the melodies, the intensity. Can't get enough.
Amen. Been listening since circa 2000 & still can't get enough of their entire discography... They're tragically underrated!

Grewup on thrice, and 101 days ago my mum died. I find solice in these albums. I miss her beyond words and am lost without her.
for a song about a greek myth, this is phenomenal.
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺🎶🤘🎶🐺
It's the companion to melting point of wax
This song is too perfect for words
Masterpiece! Ingenious!
The Lost Party, chunk 1- this song fits the mothers perspective so well
I feel like this is an extension of The Melting Point of Wax
Definitely …This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺🎶🤘🎶🐺
It's the companion piece
This is so fcking beautiful. Years and years listening to it. Shivers and still know the lyrics «3
I hope to hear this live one day

The univers ... this one song mythos mythology arcatyps playing out in this fractal
Love u all who heart song make music Thank u

I feel bad for all the people that just know deadbolt.
dude... right?
@Markus don't mistake me, deadbolt is one of the greatest songs in my opinion, but they have so much more to give us. Most underrated/unknown band ever.
I came to thrice from Artist in the ambulance in...what was it now... 96?
This disk set still just blows my mind
its amazing how emotional this sounds for a song about a greek myth
yiğit senin için buralardayım
bizim için kim gelicek buralara
My daughter was kidnapped years ago by her mother from me... this is one of few songs that brings me peace when I can not find it myself.
I hope you'll be together again, some day
Find Christ bro, it brings peace forever, such a wicked world we live in.

Yeah it's the companion for melting point of wax told from Icarus pov
Copied from Google
( was trying ti sing along)
I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me
This island, our prison, our home
And everyday we look out at the sea
This place is all he's ever known
But I've got a plan and some wax and some string
Some feathers I stole from the birds
So we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing
A song that's too perfect for words
But son, please keep a steady wing
You know you're the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun
Or you'll find yourself in the sea
Now safely away, I let out a cry
That we'll make the mainland by noon
But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky
And maybe I've spoken too soon
But son, please keep a steady wing
You know you're the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun
Or you'll find yourself in the sea
Won't you look at your wings?
They're coming undone
They're splitting at the seams
Steer clear of the sun
For once, won't you listen to me
Oh gods, why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings
Oh gods, why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings
Oh gods!
Can someone write lyrics here please? :)

It's the Icarus story. So what? It's intended to be sad, as well as fable-ish.

Just my take on it though.
it's a greek legend, a sad cautionary tragedy, but not cheesy at all.

Well, how often in your life are you confronted with death?
