夢を終える夢　枯れる夢　今　陽は墜ちる
声を亡くす夢　枯れる夢　今　日は昇る

翼が泣いてる　夢嗄れて　水面に写る僕の虹
腐りかけた　その声嘆く　宇宙に移る　蛆

夢を見始めてた　焦がれる旅　今　陽は墜ちる
産声をあげる度　焦がれる旅　今　日は昇る

物語は流れ　始まり出す　その声泣く　イカロス
頬を伝う　君の様　僕らの光　動き出す

「どちらも絶望の運命」

夢を終える夢　枯れる夢　今　陽は墜ちる
声を亡くす夢　枯れる夢　「今　日」は昇る

翼が泣いてる　夢嗄れて　水面に写る僕の虹
腐りかけた　その声嘆く　宇宙に移る　蛆

物語は流れ　始まり出す　その声泣く　イカロス
頬を伝う　君の様　僕らの光　動き出す

頬を伝う　君の様　僕らの光　

太陽に辿り着いた僕らは
焼かれて灰となり消える

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "IKAROS" by cocklobin, speak of the ephemeral nature of dreams, the pains of life, and the inevitability of death. The first two stanzas of the song talk about the contradictory nature of dreams, how they can both end and come to life, and how they can render one's voice useless. The lines "翼が泣いてる夢嗄れて水面に写る僕の虹" evoke images of weeping wings, hoarse dreams, and a rainbow that reflects on the water surface, all of which imply the fragility of one's aspirations.

The song's title "IKAROS" refers to the Greek myth of Icarus, who attempted to fly too close to the sun with wax wings and fell to his death. This story serves as an allegory for man's futile ambition and the limits of his reach. The lines "物語は流れ始まり出すその声泣くイカロス" suggest that the story is a metaphor for the human condition, where everything is in a state of flux, and where man's voice cries out for help as he plummets towards his inevitable end. The final lines of the song "太陽に辿り着いた僕らは焼かれて灰となり消える" can be interpreted as a bleak reminder that no matter how far one travels, death is ultimately a certainty.
