Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't got me when I got something wrong (something wrong)
Unfortunately we still at where we from
Make sure you won't know my feel
But it should be done at once by you, baby
I think that I'm strict with you
And so you know what to do
We had ups and downs
We fought, we changed (we changed)
We grew and grew apart
So real but it won't end, end, end
Boy, always cold like you don't care (cold like you)
I ain't ready to be ready again
I've tried to stopping thinking about you
Used to think the lie is the truth
You said be a friend or in love with you
I know I can't be both

Uh, zong shì túrán dì bēngkuì
Xià yīdào tí wo xiăng quèdìng bùshì méng duì
Youshí zhihăo tuītuo gel zhuàngtài bù jiā bèi guo
Ni de hū lěng hū rè zong shì ràng wo wàng'érshēngwèi
Ni shuo wo hěn woxīn nà shì wo de xìjié

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to NineOne#'s song "Ice Cube" seem to be about a relationship that has ended but still holds some unresolved feelings. The singer is firm in her decision not to give in to the other person's desires as they have disrespected her in the past. The first line, "You ain't got me when I got something wrong" suggests that the other person has hurt her before and she is not willing to be vulnerable to them anymore. She acknowledges the history they both share, the ups and downs, the fights, and the changes, but emphasizes that the relationship will not end unless she decides to end it.


The chorus is the most significant part of the song, on which the singer repeats that the other person is like an ice cube and she cannot love him like he wants to be loved. She also adds that she has nothing to prove to him, which could suggest that the other person wants something from her, perhaps acceptance or validation, but she is not willing to give it to him.


The lyrics are sung in a mix of Mandarin Chinese and English, reflecting NineOne#'s bilingualism. The song has a mellow, chillout vibe that contrasts with the strong lyrics, highlighting the complexity of the emotions that the singer is attempting to express.


Overall, "Ice Cube" is a song about a woman who has decided to move on from a bad relationship but may still be dealing with some of the leftover emotional baggage. She is clear about her intentions, but seems to be struggling with her own feelings in the face of the other person's desires.
