I think there was another song I was listening to at the time with the same title, this is about Icarus and the mistakes we sometimes make. The recording is on Mercurial: songs from my living room.

Sailing a ship across the ocean Searching for another land Don't you try to stop me now You could never understand For the one, I'd give the all Never knowing what I'd lost Seeing changes in my mind Leading on to end of time Into the Milky Way I've fallen And I'm never to return The faster I spin, the harder I fall Into the Milky Way I've fallen A modern-day Icarus am I Through the deep blue sky I fly Crashing down to my demise And I still think that I fly Another time, another place I know I wouldn't have to face The pain and anguish of my defeat In a world that knows no grace Into the Milky Way I've fallen And I'm never to return The faster you spin me, the harder I fall Into the Milky Way I've fallen
