Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well the devil may care,
You toss 'em back and be a man,
With the last time,
Black ice,
End of it all, end of the line,
End of the road,
Black ice,
Black ice

Come on and bleeding out the crowds,
We're watching all the women go,
Many a mile I'll never take,
I run for forty miles and come up runnin' late,
Don't you know I live it down,
When the devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around,
Black ice,
Black ice,
Black ice,
The devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around,
Black ice

Livin' long, livin' long,
Sleep all alone, you're gonna take it all,
And I'm gonna rip it out,
I'll kick, I creep crawl down your street,
I'll gouge your eyes out,
Black ice,
Black ice,
Black ice,
Black ice,

My life,
Black ice,
My life,
Black ice,
My life,
When the devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around,




I'll kick, I creep crawl down your street, and gouge your eyes out,
Black ice

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AC/DC's Black Ice might seem a bit cryptic at first glance, but they actually tell a story of a reckless, devil-may-care attitude that ultimately leads to destruction. The song opens with the line "Well the devil may care", suggesting a disregard for consequences and a desire to live in the moment. The chorus repeats the phrase "Black ice" several times, alluding to the danger that lies ahead.


The verses of the song depict a wild lifestyle filled with drinking, chasing women, and pushing boundaries. The line "Come on and bleeding out the crowds" suggests a desire to be the center of attention, regardless of the consequences. However, the lyrics also hint at a sense of regret, with lines like "Many a mile I'll never take" and "Don't you know I live it down". The final verse takes on a more sinister tone, with the singer threatening violence and suggesting a willingness to harm others in order to satisfy their desires.
