Geike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caused this fall
Do I know of anger
And grudge;
Oh heart, my war?
I have claws
Meant to leave you with scars
With a face unveiled
Show no defeat
Be wary of help
Cause everybody's blind here
& I'm the queen of moods
You fooled me well
You know the game
You thought I'd play
But I saw you change the rules oooh
I wish I had the guts
To close back in on you
But distance suits you well, you know
& I like it on me too
I ran of in a rage
And I think I'll keep on running
Just you try to make believe
I will be coming home
You fooled me well
You know the game
You thought I'd play
But I saw you change all the rules
But I saw you change all the rules
The lyrics of Geike's song "Icy" tell a story of a woman who is struggling with her emotions and her relationship with someone who has betrayed her. The opening lines of the song talk about the singer's strong desire to jump, which has caused a fall. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for her strong emotions that have led to her being hurt.
The subsequent lines seem to suggest that the singer is grappling with feelings of anger and grudge as she tries to come to terms with what has happened. She refers to her heart as her 'war,' which indicates that she is in a constant state of conflict with herself. She is also wary of help, as she feels that everyone around her is blind to what she is going through.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer has been fooled and how the rules have been changed in the relationship. She expresses a desire to close back in on the person who has hurt her but acknowledges that distance suits him well. She also talks about how she has run away in rage and intends to keep running. The lyrics suggest that she is hurt and unwilling to forgive.
Overall, the lyrics of "Icy" are an honest and raw expression of the pain and confusion that comes with a broken relationship. The singer's struggles with her emotions and her sense of betrayal are relatable, and the song's melancholic melody perfectly captures the mood.

A very strong desire to jump
Caused this fall
I made a mistake due to overwhelming emotions
Do I know of anger
And grudge;
Oh heart, my war?
I am struggling with feelings of anger and resentment
I have claws
Meant to leave you with scars
I am capable of hurting you
Havin' to get up
With a face unveiled
Show no defeat
Be wary of help
Cause everybody's blind here
& I'm the queen of moods
I must hide my vulnerabilities and not trust anyone because people don't understand me
You fooled me well
You know the game
You thought I'd play
But I saw you change the rules oooh
You deceived me and I am aware of your manipulations
I wish I had the guts
To close back in on you
But distance suits you well, you know
& I like it on me too
I ran of in a rage
And I think I'll keep on running
Just you try to make believe
I will be coming home
I am avoiding confrontation with you and prefer to keep my distance, even if it hurts
You fooled me well
You know the game
You thought I'd play
But I saw you change all the rules
But I saw you change all the rules
You betrayed my trust and changed the terms of our relationship
