Like Ice Cream
Divine Fits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t got no feeling no more
Read it to me and tell me rights
I don’t think I know no more
You’re talking soul power
And I’m right there too
She waited for me
I coulda took all summer
Cafe dancer
She shows you her wounds
And you think you know her well
Can’t think a one place that you rather be
Ain’t nothing you need tonight
I’m ready to be it and you’re right there too
I’m living nostalgia like
Like ice cream
On dry ice in the summer
And melted in the ultra sheen
And dime store cocoa butter
She waiting for me
Like ice cream
I coulda took all summer
So gimme some more
I like that
The lyrics to Divine Fits's song Like Ice Cream are open for interpretation as they shift between various themes of relationships, desire, and self-awareness. The opening lines suggest a certain numbness to the singer's feelings, insinuating a certain detachment from reality and their surroundings. However, they seem to be seeking some form of intellectual or emotional stimulation, as they crave someone to "read it" to them and "whisper it to me the way you want me". This longing reflects the singer's desperate search for affection and attention that they can no longer feel.
Through the chorus, the singer speaks of a woman who "waited" for him "like ice cream". This comparison seems to carry a hint of nostalgia and regret as the singer sings on how he could have "taken all summer", implying that he missed out on an opportunity. The bridge then sets up a contrast between two characters: the singer and a woman he calls a "cafe dancer". He suggests that this woman shows her wounds to others and that people think they know her well. Her character represents a certain fake veneer people put on to disguise their inner turmoil or pain. The singer, on the other hand, seems to embody a sense of self-awareness and honesty about his true feelings.
Overall, the song's lyrics seem to suggest a bittersweet longing for nostalgia, love, and desire, which are often difficult to fully grasp or comprehend.

Whisper it to me the way you want me
Tell me whatever you want me to hear in a hushed voice
I don’t got no feeling no more
I am emotionally numb
Read it to me and tell me rights
Explain the truth to me
I don’t think I know no more
I am uncertain
You’re talking soul power
You are discussing personal strength
And I’m right there too
I understand and agree with you
She waited for me
She patiently anticipated my arrival
Like ice cream
As eagerly as one awaits a delicious treat
I coulda took all summer
I could have taken my time
Cafe dancer
A performer at a coffee shop
She shows you her wounds
She reveals her vulnerabilities
And you think you know her well
You believe you have a deep understanding of her
Can’t think a one place that you rather be
You are content where you are
Ain’t nothing you need tonight
You require nothing else this evening
I’m ready to be it and you’re right there too
I am prepared for whatever is coming and you are by my side
I’m living nostalgia like
I am indulging in memories
Like ice cream
As sweetly and enjoyably as a tantalizing dessert
On dry ice in the summer
As pleasant as a cool treat on a hot day
And melted in the ultra sheen
And glistened in the bright sunlight
And dime store cocoa butter
And cheap lotion
So gimme some more
Give me more, I like it
