Ice Queen
Ice Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And skies turned to grey,
The night keeps on closing in on the day.
A nightingale sings his song of farewell,
You better hide for her freezing hell.
On cold wings she's coming,
You better keep moving.
Come on just feel it,
Don't you see it?
You better believe.
When she embraces,
Your heart turns to stone.
She comes at night when you are all alone.
And when she whispers,
Your blood shall run cold.
You better hide before she finds you.
Whenever she is raging,
She takes life away.
Haven't you seen,
Haven't you seen,
The ruins of our world?
Whenever she is raging,
She takes life away.
Haven't you seen,
Haven't you seen,
The ruins of our world?
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak.
The sun awakes and melts it away.
The world now opens its eyes and it sees,
The dawning of the new day.
On cold wings she's coming,
You better keep moving.
For warmth, you'll be longing.
Come on just feel it,
Don't you see it?
You better believe.
Whenever she is raging,
She takes life away.
Haven't you seen,
Haven't you seen,
The ruins of our world?
Whenever she is raging,
She takes life away.
Haven't you seen,
Haven't you seen,
The ruins of our world?
The lyrics of "Ice Queen" by the band, Within Temptation, portray a metaphorical depiction of winter, which is personified as a cold and dangerous queen. The opening lines describe a bleak and barren landscape, where the leaves have fallen, and the sky has turned grey. The mention of the nightingale singing a farewell song hints at the impending arrival of the Ice Queen. It is said that one needs to hide from her "freezing hell" that she brings with her.
The chorus of the song warns people to keep moving and look for warmth, as the queen brings bitterness and coldness. The song uses powerful imagery that describes the effect of the queen's arrival on people's hearts and blood, rendering them cold as stone. The queen takes life away and leaves behind the ruins of a once-beautiful world. The devastation of winter is depicted by the icy cloak that the queen covers the world with.
However, hope is not lost, and the song ends on a positive note, as the sun awakes and melts the queen's cloak, paving the way for new beginnings. The song encourages the listeners to believe in something greater and take action to overcome the hardships they face.

Let me tell you guys, this performance really suits feifei. I feel it's the first performance where she truly-truly shines, as bright as the sun lit sky. Her visuals were blinding this time.
And let's talk about tian Jing fan's rap - - it was killing!! Her best of the best rap on the show. This girl really stands out, from her personality, to her voice tone and her persona on the stage. She's really impressive.
Sun zhenni - - I couldn't have imagined she'd pull of this concept so well. It was amazing.
Li meng qi always has this look in her eyes when she's performing that's mesmerising. This concept truly suits her. Loved it!
And I tell you, Wang yiqao has one of the best tones while rapping. She's personally one of my favorite rappers on the show. I'm so glad to see that she's getting noticed, the way she deserves. Guys vote for her, so she can make it to the finale.
And lastly, let's talk about curley. Yes, she has it - that power that can enhance any role she's given. She literally escalates the energy of the performance, she leads the vocals the right way. I get goosebumps every time she sings. Not only is her husky voice soul wrenching, but also very powerful. She is the reason I started watching Chuang 2020 and I am so glad I did. I will vote for you, everyday XiLi!!!!! Jiayo!!!!
@misseoya
to me, this really set the standards.
reasons?
• i got goosebumps from the first part until the last.
• the stage, the props, the costumes, etc. are so damn beautiful.
• the way they sing was really stable + their harmony.
• the rappers. . argg. . they're killing it.
• the expressions are on point.
• you can see the chemistry of curley and the guy. .
but of all, i think everyone did great on their own.

People criticising curley everytime makes me mad. She has the best vocals in this show, she may not be a the best dancer but she's trying so hard she even cried because she wants to be better. People criticising her and reading this are you even 1% good like her? I don't think so
@tamiresalves946
same!! Thinking some of those persons that are criticizing her are the same people who gets mad when someone only gets popular for their appearance and cute acts, Curley has some real talents, and she's working so hard to improve even more to the point she only sleeps 2 hours everyday also because of her tight schedule, and that's why she had standout so much between the trainees
@fatfran309
Support Her forever
@sowhatwehotweyoung._.4566
They are just jealous because Curley is on the another level. Deserves to be the CENTER 🔥❄
