Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanted tears, but I couldn’t cry
I wanted you, I didn’t know why
I wanted money, to fill up the sky
I was so lost
And now I’m lost
The boy that I was
I’m ice.
You can see right through me.
I’m ice.
There’s nothing in my eyes.
There’s nothing in my eyes.
I’m ice, ice, ice...
I wanted money, cause money don’t lie
I wanted tears, but I couldn’t cry
I wanted you, I didn’t know why
I wanted money, to fill up the sky
I was so lost
And now I’m lost
The boy that I was
Is inside...
I’m ice.
You can see right through me.
I’m ice.
There’s nothing in my eyes.
There’s nothing in my eyes.
I’m ice, ice, ice...
I’m ice.
You can see right through me.
I’m ice.
There’s nothing in my eyes.
There’s nothing in my eyes.
I’m ice, ice, ice...
The lyrics to Kaskade Dada Life Dan Black's song "Ice" seem to be about someone who is feeling lost and unfulfilled. The singer expresses a desire for money and tears, possibly as a way to fill a void or give them purpose. They also express a desire for an unnamed "you," but do not know why they want this person. The repetition of the lines "I'm ice" and "there's nothing in my eyes" suggest a feeling of emptiness and detachment, as though the singer is numb to the world around them.
The line "I was so lost / And now I'm lost / The boy that I was / Is inside" can be interpreted as reflecting on a past version of oneself that felt more alive or connected to others. The repetition of the chorus highlights the feeling of being frozen and disconnected from reality. Overall, the lyrics suggest a longing for something that the singer cannot identify, and a feeling of numbness or detachment from their surroundings.
