1) Ice Age is a progressive rock / metal band, founded in the early 90s. Their debut album "The Great Divide" (1999) was a great prog album in the vein of bands like Dream Theater and Vanden Plas. In 2001 the band released "Liberation" which was followed by a self-financed EP in 2003 due to the end of the band's contract with Magna Carta.
Though hailed by many prog fans as an awesome (yet underrated) band, Ice Age never sold many albums and disbanded in 2005 to continue on with a totally different (non-prog) approach under the name "Soulfractured".

Because of You
Ice Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck - in between
I'll never forget the day
That you walked on my scene
Through your doorway I beheld my wildest dream
You lit me up like a flash of fire
You stung my soul with a pang of need
I knew I'd come of age
And I'd never be the same
And the moment I saw your face
I knew that my long night was done
There was honesty in your eyes
As bright as the morning sun
Cozy blankets
Sleepless nights
Sharin' smiles & tears & hopes by the silver light
Because of you
I dream of what might have been
And I'll never be the same
And the moment I saw your face
I knew that my long night was done
There was honesty in your eyes
And it shone like the morning sun
All the moments I heard your voice
The hours like dreams fell away
How I long for our endless spring
Every day
Why can't we go back again?
Because of you
And the moment I touched your face
I prayed that night would never end
How it hurts that I don't know
If I'll ever see you again
Feelin' sorry
A little low
And I'm still wondering
How I ever let you go
But years are flyin' & I guess I'll never know
You melted me like the summer sun
You made me shake like the winter wind
Because of you
I knew I'd be alright
And I've never been the same
And the moment I saw your face
I knew that my long night was done
There was honesty in your eyes
As warm as the morning sun
There's a shrine within my heart
While I keep what you gave to me
Cause you taught me how to love
And you showed me what life should be
The lyrics to Ice Age's "Because of You" paint a picture of a relationship that had a profound impact on the singer - one that changed them forever. The song begins with the singer feeling "jumbled" and "stuck" but then remembers the day that the person they are singing about entered their life. The singer recounts how this person changed them, igniting a spark that had been missing and coaxing them out of a state of stagnation.
The lyrics are rife with metaphors, including "lit me up like a flash of fire" and "stung my soul with a pang of need." Additionally, there is a lot of imagery surrounding light - the person's eyes are as bright as the morning sun, and they share "hopes by the silver light." The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer knew they would never be the same because of this person.
