ICE BOY
Corbin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you had me pressed on arrival
Spent too many nights on my own
Now you're all I see when the light's low
Is it hard to imagine being one?
Am I reading it right, tell me am I wrong?
You seem unsettled, touch my arm
Just keep the pressure mine til dawn
We'll get out of town, leave the coast here
It's a two day drive if we both steer
Make sure to pack for the cold years
And we'll be just fine if we're close, dear
If you lose interest, leave me to die
No it wouldn't be the first time, I won't mind
You call me pathetic, at least I tried
Couldn't keep these feelings tucked inside
Oh, I'm on ice
Can't you tell?
I'm on ice
My heart's so still
Press up closer, you drive me mad
Just tell me you're willing, leave all you had
Don't expect to convince you to take my hand
Won't you find it in you, I know you can
Still haven't left like I promised
Waiting for you if I'm being honest
Been a while since I've known what I've wanted
It's you till the days that we're rotten
That night last month you said I was the one
I know you meant it, tell me I'm wrong
I'll keep you safe, girl, hold my arm
I'll bury those who mean you harm
Oh, I'm on ice
Can't you tell?
I'm on ice
My heart's so still
Press up closer, you drive me mad
Just tell me you're willing, leave all you had
Don't expect to convince you to take my hand
Won't you find it in you, I know you can
I know you can, ohh oh
Know you can, ohh
Oh, I'm on on ice
I'm on ice on ice
On ice, on ice
In "Ice Boy", the singer expresses his strong attraction to someone he has just met. He is so taken with her that he can't help but wonder if they are meant to be together, despite their fleeting connection. He begs her to stay with him, even if it's just for a short time. He compares himself to being on ice, indicating that his heart is frozen and still, but also that he is fragile and vulnerable. He is afraid of rejection and wants to be reassured that his feelings are reciprocated. The song captures the exhilaration and vulnerability of falling in love quickly and intensely.
The chorus of "Ice Boy" is particularly poignant, with the repeated phrase "I'm on ice" conveying the singer's feelings of being frozen and trapped. The metaphor also suggests that he is stuck in a moment with the object of his affection, unable to move forward or back. He longs for her to press up against him, both to ease his fears and to satisfy his desire for physical intimacy.
Overall, "Ice Boy" is a bittersweet love song that captures the fleeting nature of infatuation. It is a yearning for connection, even if it is brief, and an acknowledgement of how powerful the desire for love can be.
