Flight of Icarus
Adrian Frederick Smith, Bruce Dickinson
As the sun breaks, above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun (yeah)
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God, my father I'll fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
Yeah
Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly
Fly as high as the sun
A Ascensão e Queda de Ícaro: Uma Análise de Flight Of Icarus do Iron Maiden
A música 'Flight Of Icarus' da banda britânica Iron Maiden é uma poderosa faixa de heavy metal que se inspira na mitologia grega para contar uma história de ambição e tragédia. A letra da música faz referência direta ao mito de Ícaro, o jovem que voou muito próximo ao Sol com asas de cera e penas, apenas para cair no mar quando suas asas derreteram. A narrativa é usada pela banda para explorar temas de desafio, liberdade e as consequências da arrogância humana.
No início da música, somos apresentados a um 'velho homem' que observa o amanhecer, simbolizando talvez a figura de Dédalo, o pai de Ícaro, que na mitologia construiu as asas para que ambos pudessem escapar do labirinto. A descrição do ambiente e a menção ao 'olhar enlouquecido' do homem sugerem uma intensidade emocional que antecipa o drama que se desenrola. Quando o 'jovem rapaz' entra em cena, ele desafia as expectativas e a autoridade, representada pela figura paterna, ao decidir voar em direção ao Sol, uma metáfora para aspirações elevadas e perigosas.
A repetição do refrão 'Fly, on your way, like an eagle / Fly as high as the Sun' serve como um hino à ambição e ao desejo humano de alcançar o inatingível. No entanto, a música também serve como um aviso, pois o destino de Ícaro é selado quando suas 'asas se transformam em cinzas'. Iron Maiden, conhecida por suas letras profundas e referências históricas e literárias, utiliza a história de Ícaro para refletir sobre a natureza humana e as consequências de ultrapassar os limites. A música, com seus riffs de guitarra poderosos e vocais marcantes, captura a essência do heavy metal enquanto conta uma história atemporal sobre a condição humana.
As the sun breaks, above the ground
À medida que o sol nasce, acima do solo
An old man stands on the hill
Um velho homem fica na colina
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
Enquanto o solo aquece, aos primeiros raios de luz
A birdsong shatters the still
Um canto de pássaro quebra o silêncio
His eyes are ablaze
Seus olhos estão em chamas
See the madman in his gaze
Veja o louco em seu olhar
Fly on your way, like an eagle

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Agora a multidão se dispersa e um jovem aparece

As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
Enquanto ele abre suas asas e grita para a multidão
In the name of God, my father I'll fly
Em nome de Deus, meu pai, eu vou voar
His eyes seem so glazed
Seus olhos parecem tão vidrados
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Enquanto ele voa nas asas de um sonho
Now he knows his father betrayed
Agora ele sabe que seu pai o traiu
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave
Agora suas asas se transformam em cinzas para as cinzas de seu túmulo
