Ring Of Ice
Jennifer Rush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We lay awake, silent in the dark
You don't have to hide the trace
Emptiness left its mark

Ring of ice
Ring of ice 'round your heart
Ring of ice
Ring of ice, break apart

We are lonely people wearin' a ring of ice

Dancin' in the night
Tryin' to disguise
All that lies behind
Countless empty lies
Wearing a ring of ice

I walk alone searchin' for a sign

Someone else must be alive with warmth behind their eyes
Ring of ice
Ring of ice 'round your heart
Ring of ice
Ring of ice, break apart

All the lonely people wearin' a ring of ice

Dancin' in the night
Tryin' to disguise
All that lies behind
Countless empty lies
Wearing a ring of ice

All the lonely people wearing a ring of ice
Dancin' in the night
Tryin' to disguise
All that lies behind surrounded by a ring of ice
Dancin' in the night
Tryin' to disguise
All that lies behind surrounded by a ring of ice
Dancin' in the night




Tryin' to disguise
All that lies behind surrounded by a ring of ice

Overall Meaning

"Ring of Ice" by Jennifer Rush is a song describing the loneliness and emptiness that people feel when they have a "ring of ice" around their hearts. The song opens with a reference to two people lying in the dark, with one seemingly trying to hide their emptiness. The chorus then repeats the phrase "ring of ice," indicating the barrier that keeps the heart from being open to love and connection.


The verses expand on this theme, with Rush describing the difficulty of disguising the truth and the endless search for someone with warmth in their eyes. She emphasizes that loneliness is a shared experience, repeating the line "all the lonely people wearing a ring of ice" in the chorus. The song ends with a repetition of the earlier lines, emphasizing the idea that people are dancing and trying to disguise their pain, even as they are surrounded by an icy barrier.


Overall, "Ring of Ice" is a poignant portrayal of loneliness and the search for connection. The song's repeated use of the phrase "ring of ice" creates a powerful metaphor for emotional distance, while Rush's emotional vocals convey the depth of feeling behind the lyrics.

Ich bin 1980 Geboren, ich bin mit dieser Stimme aufgewachsen, und ich find sie bis heute fantastisch. Solche Künstler gibt's heute nicht mehr, sowas großes... Einfach Fantastisch.

@svenwuest1186

Bin ein 83ér, aber stimme dir vollkommen zu. Das heute hat weder den Flair noch die Tiefe von damals. Die Remixe sind sehr nett aber leider nicht das Original...

@theonethatgotaway5120

0 % Nackheit, 0 % Arschwackeln, 0 % sexuelle Zweideutigkeit, 100 % pures Talent!
Das Video braucht nicht mal ein großes Konzept, nur ihre Stimme & sie steht einfach da & perfomt ... große Klasse, die Frau! ♡

@christianliesche5917
