Black Ice
Mason & Fenn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
On his rearview
I can't take the sound of a 7.3 spoiling up and speeding right past by me
I can't stand the sight of someone rolling coal 'cause that's what he'd do on my road
But when he'd drop me off there he'd go
It'd be for the last time
Little would I know
It's the Ford trucks and dually's and 7.3's or 6.7's baby
Every girl's had her heart broke by a boy who wouldn't take the joke
Found On the Road Dead
At least that's what she said, ha
Don't worry 'bout me 'cause I'll get through
But girl just know, his heart's as cold as the Black Ice
On his rearview
Three trees wrapped right around his rearview hanging there like little statues
And I swear he's never even changed them out but Lord knows them things never lose their stout
Ooo but when he'd drop me off there he'd go
He'd leave me smelling like black ice, black smoke
And he'd hit them backroads
In his Ford truck, his dually, the 7.3 or 6.7 baby
I can't take 'em, can't even date 'em, don't know why Detroit still makes 'em
Every girl's had her heart broke by a boy who wouldn't take the joke
Found On the Road Dead
At least that's what she said, ha
Don't worry 'bout me 'cause I'll get through
But girl just know, his heart's as cold as the Black Ice
On his rearview
If he's got the cab lights (cab lights), smoke stack (smoke stack) light bar and headache rack
Rockin' halos and blowin' smoke wherever he goes
Unless he's ranchin' or building cow stanchions
Girl don't even take your chances
On them Ford trucks, or duallys or 7.3's or 6.7's baby
I can't take 'em can't even date 'em
Don't know why hell Detroit still makes 'em
Every girl's had her heart broke by a boy who wouldn't take the joke
Found On the Road Dead
At least that's what she said, ha
Don't worry 'bout me 'cause I'll get through
But girl just know, his heart's as cold as the Black Ice
On his rearview
On his rearview
The lyrics of "Black Ice" by Mason & Fenn convey a sense of heartbreak and betrayal, told through the metaphor of a man driving a Ford truck with a powerful engine (referencing the 7.3 or 6.7-liter engines). The singer expresses her distaste for this man and his actions, particularly when he would speed past her, leaving her feeling insignificant and hurt by his disregard for her feelings. The imagery of the man "rolling coal" symbolizes his arrogance and toxic masculinity, as well as the environmental impact of his actions.
The repeated mention of "Found On the Road Dead" as a play on the Ford acronym further emphasizes the negative impact this man has had on the singer and potentially other women in his life. The sense of finality and closure is evident as the singer reflects on the man's departure after dropping her off for what turned out to be the last time, hinting at the pain of a breakup or betrayal. The line "his heart's as cold as the Black Ice on his rearview" encapsulates the emotional distance and callousness of the man's actions.
The reference to the trees hanging from the man's rearview mirror as "little statues" symbolizes the lack of change or growth in his character, while also hinting at a sense of stagnation and immaturity. The image of being left smelling like black ice and black smoke suggests a lingering impact of his presence and behavior, as well as the unhealthy patterns he embodies. The mention of his customized truck features like cab lights, smoke stacks, and light bars further characterizes him as someone focused on outward appearances and machismo.
The lyrics caution against getting involved with men who embody the traits of this man – those who prioritize their trucks and image over genuine emotional connection. The repeated refrain of "But girl just know, his heart's as cold as the Black Ice on his rearview" serves as a warning to others who may be drawn to similar individuals. Ultimately, the song captures the pain of being let down by someone who prioritizes superficial qualities over true love and emotional depth, while also highlighting the resilience and strength of the singer in moving past this heartbreak.
