more than likely it's a reference to icarus in greek myth. his father made him wings of wax and feathers, but he flew too high... and was too close to the sun, so the wax melted and he plunged to his death. Yeeeesss...but this MEANS that someone is being too couragous or adventurous for their own good or 'trying too hard'
