The Girl who Fell Through the Ice feat. Kate Rogers
Aim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lights on in every room
Winter came round so soon
And over night,
The lake turns to ice,
And your left behind
I solemnly made you mine
"The Girl Who Fell Through The Ice" by Aim feat. Kate Rogers is a haunting ballad that tells a story of heartbreak, regret, and loss. The song's opening lines set the bleak, wintry setting as the singer sits alone in a house lit up by lights. The song's protagonist is mourning the loss of someone they cared deeply for, someone who fell through ice and drowned. The imagery is visceral and adds to the melancholic tone, as the singer apologizes for something they cannot undo. The lines "Winter came round so soon" and "And overnight, the lake turns to ice" portray how quickly life can change and how unpredictable death can be.
The chorus of the song, with Kate Rogers' haunting vocals, adds to the overall emotional impact of the song. The lines "And I knew it all along, this was a risk I shouldn't take" and "I'm sorry I made you mine" suggest that the singer blames themselves for what happened to the girl who fell through the ice. The lyrics convey regret and sorrow, asking the listener to contemplate the unforeseeable nature of life and the importance of valuing those around us.
