Ezio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You blow the wind in my sails -
That keep me moving on
And you - do you realize just what you've done
You live your life -
And I'm a silhouette against the sun
Oh - and Alex, this is your song
Above the roofs of Cambridge
So that one day you'll be mine
One day when I'm braving up
I'm gonna face you eye to eye
So that I'm gonna be
Icecold - icecold like Alex
Icecold, icecold, icecold like Alex
And you - torment me with your eyes
You won't be fooled by my lies
You keep me moving on
And you - oh yeah, you
Ya ya you - don't realize just what you've done
Oh - and Alex, this is your song
I would like to see it fly
Above the roofs of Cambridge
So that one day you will be mine
one day when I'm brave enough
I'm gonna face you eye to eye
So that I'm gonna be
Icecold - icecold like Alex
Icecold, icecold, icecold like Alex
Icecold, icecold, icecold, icecold, icecold
just like Alex, just like Alex
The song "Alex" by Ezio is a heartfelt tribute to someone the singer deeply admires. The lyrics express a sense of gratitude for this person by describing them as the force that inspires the singer to keep moving forward, while also acknowledging the pain and torment that can sometimes come with being under their watchful gaze. The title character, Alex, seems to hold a special significance for the singer, as they dream of one day winning their affection and becoming as "icecold" as they are.
The song's opening lines suggest that Alex is responsible for the beautiful lyrics contained within the song itself, and that they are a source of creative inspiration for the singer. The image of a ship moving forward with Alex as the wind in its sails conveys a sense of power and direction, with the singer acknowledging their will to keep going despite any obstacles they may face. However, the following lines describe Alex as a powerful figure who is difficult to fool and who can induce torment in the singer with their piercing gaze. Despite these challenges, the singer remains determined to continue following their admirer and face them "eye to eye".
