the first line is pure charlock

this is a vauge reference to the failure of machines mabe air=planes and ships

the second line dates this as a classic poem

bringing to life the story in the first person of Daedalus

the description of the flight is amazing just like as unto reality

an amazing look at a fathers shortcomings and humbling

pride taken to the upper extremes and then dashed to pieces on the rocks

or drowned in an uncaring expanse of ocean water as so many have believed

He flew to high

this to means exactly that to the sky see eh???

and drank too much decay

(the sun was hot way up high)

Icarus wings are gone

this last line is acceptance and observance of the fact.
