The Melting Point Of Wax
Thrice Lyrics

I've waited for this moment
I have been waiting for this particular moment in my life to arrive.

All my life and more
For my entire life and even beyond it, I have been anticipating this moment's arrival.

And now I see so clearly
At the present moment, I have a crystal clear understanding of what I could not see before.

What I could not see before.
There was knowledge or insight that was previously unavailable to me prior to the present moment.

The time is now or never
This is a critical moment, and if I don't act now, I may never get an opportunity in the future.

This chance won't come again
If I don't seize this opportunity now, I won't have another chance to do so.

Throw caution and myself to the wind.
I am willing to take a risk, put my safety on the line, and take a leap of faith in order to achieve my goals.

There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
Using these wings is not guaranteed to be safe, as they are not of the best possible quality.

But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
I am willing to try to do something that many consider impossible, just to see if I can accomplish it.

A leap of faith.
I must take a huge risk and put complete trust in my abilities, regardless of how unsafe or dangerous it might be.

Parody of an angel
I am mocking myself by comparing myself to an angel, despite being flawed and imperfect.

Miles above the sea
I am far above the ocean, and may be in danger if something goes wrong.

I hear the voice of reason
I can hear my own rationality, telling me that what I am attempting is potentially unsafe or foolish.

Screaming up to me
The voice of reason is loud and aggravating, and makes it difficult for me to ignore its warnings.

"You flew too high, for now your too close to the sun
According to my sensible side, I have gone too high and am now at risk from being too close to the sun.

Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
Eventually, the wings I'm currently wearing will fall apart due to their low quality and/or faulty construction.

But how will I know limits from life if I never try?
I must test my abilities to know how far I can go and what my limits are, and I cannot know them if I never attempt anything.

Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
I want to ascend to great heights using only my imagination and aspirations as motivation.

Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
I am not afraid of the consequences of my actions, as I am determined to reach my goal at all costs.

Nothing to me
I don't care about the potential dangers of my actions or whether or not I might fail; I refuse to let that stop me.

I will touch the sun or I will die trying.
I am so dedicated to achieving my goals, that I would rather die trying than give up and fail.

Fly on these secondhand wings
Despite the danger, I will use these inferior wings to try and reach my goal.

Means nothing to me
The potential consequences of my actions don't matter to me, as they are less important than my goal.

Miles above the sea.
I am at a dangerous altitude, where any small mistake could have disastrous consequences.
