얼음들
악동뮤지션 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
구름 비바람 오가던 하얀 하늘 회색 빛들고
맘속에 찾아온 어둠을 그대로 두고
밤을 덮은 차가운 그림자마냥 굳어간다
얼음들이 녹아지면
조금 더 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데
얼음들은 왜 그렇게 차가울까
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold
붉은 해가 세수하던 파란 바다
그 깊이 묻힌 옛 온기를 바라본다
Too late get it out
어른들 세상 추위도 풀렸으면 해
얼었던 사랑이 이젠 주위로 흘렀으면 해
맘속에 찾아온 어둠을 그대로 두고
밤을 덮은 차가운 그림자마냥 굳어간다
얼음들이 녹아지면
조금 더 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데
얼음들은 왜 그렇게 차가울까
차가울까요
얼음들이 녹아지면
조금 더 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데
얼음들은 왜 그렇게 차가울까
차가울까요
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold
The lyrics of Melted by 악동뮤지션 (AKMU) tell the story of a person feeling overwhelmed by darkness and coldness. The first verse describes a red sun setting over a blue ocean, which turns black, as well as a white sky with grey colors, indicating a storm is approaching. The lyrics then switch to the metaphor of ice, representing the coldness and hardness that the singer feels inside. They wonder why ice is so cold and express hope that when it melts, it will bring warmth and allow them to sing a warmer song.
The second verse talks about the desire to refind the warmth buried deep in the past and yearns for the warmth to come back to adults, who have grown cold in the world. The singer hopes that their frozen love will thaw and flow around them. The repetition of the question, "Why are they so cold?" suggests that the singer is struggling to understand why they feel so disconnected and struggles to find a way to reconnect.
The song's lyrics, though simple at first glance, are full of metaphor and poetic devices. The sun, ocean, and sky all represent different feelings, while the ice symbolizes the singer's frozen heart. The song's structure is cyclical, with the same lyrics and melody repeated three times, symbolizing the singer's internal struggle.

ENGLISH LYRICS
[Verse 1]
The blue ocean that the red sun
Used to wash its face turns Oh Oh black
The white sky that had clouds and
Rain and the wind turns gray
[Pre-Chorus]
I leave the darkness that finds my heart
Even the cold shadow that covers the night starts to harden
[Chorus]
If the ice melts
A warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold?
Why is it so cold?
[Refrain]
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold
[Verse 2]
The blue ocean that the red sun used to wash its face
I look at the past warmth that is deeply buried
(too late get it out)
I wish the cold in the world of adults would be gone too
I wish the frozen love will melt away now
[Pre-Chorus]
I leave the darkness that finds my heart
Even the cold shadow that covers the night starts to harden
[Chorus]
If the ice melts melts
A warmer song would have come out (a little more)
But why is the ice so cold?
Why is it so cold?
[Bridge]
If the ice melts
A warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold?
Why is it so cold?
[Outro]
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold

Well, I’m 66 and my wife and I are pretty crazy over these young singers and others as well as many K-dramas, though we cannot speak or understand Korean yet.
This song and the video that was done with it was heart melting and beautiful. We had a busy day and needed to squeeze in picking up our son from school with an appointment to get our heating fixed and picking up cat food and dog food and candy for Halloween for the neighbor kids even though we don’t really celebrate it.
Short on time we went through an Arby’s and Taco Bell drive through and I have to admit feeling exasperated seeing yet another homeless man hiding and changing clothes behind the ordering sign as they often hope to find people opening their windows to order.
We are often told not to give to beggars as this will not help them, but to encourage them to go to agencies and charities who can actually help them recover and to give to those organizations instead.
Some of us have gone through struggles ourselves and feel we cannot carry more than our share of the load and give to every beggar. We feel guilty saying “beggar” and want to say “homeless” in the interest of compassion, and yet we feel the tug of honesty leaving us conflicted. Are they truly homes? Most probably are, but we do not know that. But we can see them begging and it hurts, but it made me ask, “Do I sometimes give to help them, or to sustain their dependence on begging when they need more real help to overcome their complete poverty? Do the charities help them or triage them? When I have given to them or helped out, the charities seem to have a large number of people to help.

Most groups talk about YOUTH nowadays.. but AKMU talks about the coldness of ADULTHOOD
and its heartbreaking and underrated
I wish AKMU would release this song now again 😊
