Ice Age
Fire Tiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're bringing the Ice Age upon me,baby
It don′t matter what you do
I'm still gonna care about you
You bring in the Ice Age upon me
It's so cold when you are leaving
It′s so cold when you arrive
Can′t forget, you know I've tried
Off the boat there is an island
Many faces, a warm breeze
Trying to find some piece of mind
But again, it′s you I see
Now it's snowing
You bring in the Ice age eh, it don′t matter what you say
You're bringing the Ice Age upon me, baby
It don′t matter what you do
I'm still gonna care about you
You bring in the Ice Age upon me
Live a life of celebration
That's what all the people say
Pass a glass, pour the night away
In the glass I see your face
Now it′s snowing
You bring in the Ice Age eh, it don′t matter what you say
You're bringing the Ice Age upon me, baby
It don′t matter what you do
I'm still gonna care about you
You bring in the Ice Age upon me
Ooh yeah
Now it′s snowing
You bring in the Ice Age eh, it don't matter what you say
You′re bringing the Ice Age upon me, baby
It don't matter what you do
I'm still gonna care about you
You bring in the Ice Age upon me
You bring in the Ice Age eh, it don′t matter what you say
You′re bringing the Ice Age upon me, baby
It don't matter what you do
I′m still gonna care about you
You bring in the Ice Age upon me
It don't matter what you do
I′m still gonna care about you
You bring in the Ice Age upon me
The lyrics to Fire Tiger's song "Ice Age" are about longing for someone who brings a coldness and distance to the relationship regardless of what they say or do. The chorus repeats the line "You bring in the Ice Age upon me, baby" to emphasize this metaphor. The verses describe the struggle to move on from this person, trying to find peace of mind on a new "island" but still seeing their face in the glass of a drink. The line "Live a life of celebration, that's what all the people say" suggests that friends may advise the singer to move on and enjoy life, but the heart wants what it wants.
The tone of the song is melancholic and bittersweet, with a mix of nostalgia and resignation. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness in the face of the coldness of the other person, but also a sense of determination to keep caring despite the distance. The use of the Ice Age metaphor adds a layer of drama and intensity to the lyrics, making the relationship feel like a matter of survival.
Overall, "Ice Age" is a powerful and emotional song about the struggle of holding on to someone who keeps pushing away. The lyrics capture the complexity of human relationships and the pain of unrequited love.
Line by Line Meaning
You bring in the Ice Age eh, it don′t matter what you say
You're causing a cold and distant environment between us, regardless of what you say
You're bringing the Ice Age upon me, baby
You are causing me to feel isolated and in a frozen emotional state
It don′t matter what you do
Your actions won't change my feelings towards you
I'm still gonna care about you
I will continue to have feelings for you, even if they cause me pain
It's so cold when you are leaving
Whenever you depart, it feels like the temperature has dropped and everything has become lonely and desolate
It′s so cold when you arrive
Even when you come back, the atmosphere feels frigid as if a cold front has swept in
With a smile that was for me
Despite the coldness, you still show glimpses of warmth towards me
Can′t forget, you know I've tried
I've attempted to move on from you, but the memory of your warmth lingers and is difficult to shake
Off the boat there is an island
There is a sense of escaping but finding oneself stuck in one's emotions
Many faces, a warm breeze
Despite the escape, there are others around who remind me of you and bring a sense of warmth
Trying to find some piece of mind
I am attempting to find peace within myself, but it is difficult with the lingering feeling of us
But again, it′s you I see
No matter how hard I try to escape my emotions, you always surface in my mind
Live a life of celebration
Others suggest I should move on and enjoy life
That's what all the people say
Everyone is telling me that I should forget about you and celebrate, but it's not that simple
Pass a glass, pour the night away
They suggest I should drink and party to forget about you
In the glass I see your face
But even in the midst of the partying and distraction, I still see you in everything I do
Ooh yeah
An expression of the bittersweet nature of the situation

All came out with great albums in 2018. Seriously, it comes across as lazy if you think that rap was all that came out last year.

People are right when they say "Modern music doesn't suck, you just have to find good music harder."

Jr Carclay
considering it is 80's style all the way it is not modern! modern that people complain about is not styled from the yester years but today's standalone wannabe trash,so to all the likers of this comment you are just as uneducated about music.

This needs to be the new trend for music. You know. Actual melodies. Lyrics. A chorus that isn't the same short sentence repeated 50 times.
