Niv Appointment Letter

makes the beginning ...

album of Alesana namely: "On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax "


Icarus :

"... black engulf the dying light as he falls on frail wings of vanity and wax .. "

translation:

... black engulfs the dying light as he falls with weak wings of imagination and wax ...

Interpretation:

To understand this interpretation, one must first know who or what is Icarus / was.

Icarus from Greek mythology and he is the son of Daedalus. They were both caught in the Hanging Gardens.
some point decided to build Daedalus wings so they can flee from the gardens. Daedalus told his son he was to fly in the middle, because destroying the proximity to the sea but also close to the sun, the wings could. Icarus, however, was so impressed that he wanted to be closer to the sun. And then it happened, he came to her close, the wax melted and he crashed.


The black I would see as the deep sea. Because he fell so in there.
Maybe it thinks the death, it reaches for him.
would, however, not the "Dying Light", which I would interpret as the dying soul will fit.
"Wings of Fancy & Wax: Wax is clear to make airworthy the wings.
imagination, so as Icarus was subsequently spirited and "grab" after the sun was.

's next "Ambrosia".
