Ice Like Mine
Fawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it seems a lot like the old days
Morning kept alive in state
Sleep strives for an infinite sunday
But we can drink tonight if you
Promise sweetly to please be gone when I wake

Ice like mine can melt you know
One more drink could stop the flow

Snowfall will cover us tonight
Another world keeping its pace
Pillows creep and beg for attention
Sleep patterns modulate the lines
I softly whisper something
Your pulse is the only reply
I reach across to feel nothing
So I drift on back to sleep again

Ice like mine can melt you know




One more drink to stop the flow
Promise sweetly to please be gone when I wake

Overall Meaning

In "Ice Like Mine," Fawn sings about a relationship that seems to be stuck in a pattern that reminds her of the past. She references mornings and sleep, suggesting that these were significant moments in her previous relationship, and yet she still finds herself in a similar situation with someone new. She knows that drinking together tonight could lead to things getting complicated, so she sets a condition for her partner: they have to promise to leave before she wakes up. Despite her apprehension, Fawn can't help but be drawn to this person who she feels a strong connection with.


There's a sense of resignation and melancholy in the lyrics, emphasized by the use of the metaphor of ice, which represents something that is both beautiful and fragile. Fawn acknowledges that her heart is like ice, capable of melting at any moment, and she seems to be weighing the risks of letting someone in again. The mention of snowfall and a new world suggests that Fawn is torn between the safety of the past and the potential of new experiences.


Overall, "Ice Like Mine" is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the complexities of relationships and the fear of being hurt again. It's a reflection on the past, but also a meditation on the present and the future, and the difficult choices we have to make to move on.
