DBSK/동방신기's Love in the Ice is a touching ballad about the power and depth of love, and how it can melt even the coldest and most painful of hearts. The lyrics begin with Jaejoong singing about how his cold hands are not because of the cold but rather of his beloved’s absence. Changmin continues the song wondering who is afraid of loving him, and why people are always hiding their true emotions. Yoochun enters with a verse on how his heart that he hugged so tight has become like ice, until he softly melts it. The chorus appears with Jaejoong questioning the point of life without love, followed by Yunho and Junsu offering to rekindle his beloved’s heart with their eternal kindness. The song ends with all members reassuring their beloved that they will never leave her side.
Love in the Ice is a song that expresses a lot of emotions in a very raw manner. It starts with members accusing their loved ones of hiding their feelings, and by the end of the song they promise to keep their hearts forever warm. There are themes of pain, love, hope, and even fate, with members mentioning how destiny can play tricks on us. Overall, the song is about how love can be an all-encompassing feeling that can be both beautiful and agonizing, but it is ultimately worth it.
