Icicles
Luminous Orange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hearing the winds go through then I halt before the vale
Searching for a sign of you don't you hail me just for once

It's way too hard for me to find what you call love feels like ice

Hearing the words of truth then I halt before I say
Searching for a word for you can't I find just a word?
It's way too hard for me to hold what you call love feels like ice

It's way too hard for me to find what you call love feels like ice

Through wuthering field sleek night's veils drew near
My core's been cut and it sears

Hearing the winds go through then I halt before the vale
Searching for a sign of you don't you hail me just for once

It's way too hard for me to find what you call love feels like ice

Waiting for the Spring to come sitting in the vale
Searching for a trace of you so you please lul me to sleep





It's way to hard for me to find What you call love feels like ice

Overall Meaning

The song "Icicles" by Luminous Orange is a melancholic tune that seems to talk about the difficulty of finding and holding onto love. The first verse describes the singer as hearing the winds go through and halting before the vale, which could be interpreted as a moment of contemplation or hesitation. The second line talks about searching for a sign of the person they love, but they never receive any kind of acknowledgement from that person. The following lines express the singer's struggle to understand what love really is, saying that it feels like ice and it's too hard for them to find.


The second verse repeats the same kind of pattern but adds the difficulty of speaking up or finding the right words to express their feelings. The chorus goes back to the struggle of finding love, which in this case is described as waiting for someone who never shows up. The last line of the chorus is repeated twice to reinforce the idea that love feels like ice and it's an elusive feeling for the singer.


The final verse describes a bleak landscape where the singer feels like their core has been cut and it's searing in pain. This metaphorical description could mean that the singer has been hurt by love before or that they feel empty and lost without it. The chorus repeats again, adding the idea of waiting for spring to come, which could symbolize the hope of finding love again. The song finishes with the plea for the person they love to lull them to sleep, showing a sense of vulnerability and dependence on that person.


Overall, "Icicles" conveys a sense of longing and sadness, describing the difficulty of finding and holding onto love. The use of metaphors and nature imagery adds to the contemplative and melancholic atmosphere of the song.
