Fire and Ice
Marietta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rising high to the sky where the eagles fly

Calling out to me here and now

Like a diamond in the night
never blind to the sight

As the conquest comes around.
It's there for the taking
the choice in the making

We live as we do or die.
When you rise to the challenge it's all in the balance

It's something you can't deny.
Like a lover she's calling for you
Like no other she never says no.
To another there is no escape

'Cause when she's calling you back again and again
You know who's gonna win.

Fire and ice - shining in the sun
Fire and ice - now it's one on one
Fire and ice - she always calls her lovers back
Until she finds the one
one on one.

Fire and ice - fire and ice.

There's a moment of light where the motion of life
Is suspended out of time.
Like a shadow in the night
a vision out of sight

The reason is the rime.
It's there for the taking
no making
no breaking

It's there coming into you.
When you rise to the challenge it's all in the balance

You do what you got to do.
Like a lover she's calling for you
Fire and ice - shining in the sun

Fire and ice - fire and ice - fire and ice - fire and ice.




Fire and ice - shining in the sun
Fire and ice - shining in the sun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marietta's song Fire and Ice speak about the challenges and choices that we face in life. The first verse highlights the height of the challenge which is compared to the soaring eagle, and how it calls out to the individual to take action. The second line speaks about the beauty and clarity of the challenge, that it is like a diamond in the night and cannot be ignored. The verse ends with the idea that the challenge is both a test and an opportunity where the individual can choose to live or die based on their actions. The chorus then sets up the metaphor of comparing the challenge to a lover that is calling the individual back until they find their one.


The second verse reiterates the idea of the opportunity and responsibility that comes with facing a challenge. The "moment of light" suggests a spiritual or transcendent experience that occurs when one confronts the challenge, and the importance of the decision they will make. The verse ends with the idea that when one rises to the challenge, there is no choice but to do what they need to do. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the intensity of the challenge that is both fire and ice, and that the decision must be one on one.

Nothing will top the epic awesomeness that was the 80's.

Harald Faltermeier at its best. VΓΆllig unterschΓ€tzt der Mann. Und den Film β€žfire and iceβ€œ total schwierig zu bekommen. Mann, was ist da los.
