Black Ice
Transit One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a winter's day,
When the sun hid away,
When the snow was falling fast,

Oh and this came to pass,
It was all worth this long wait.

In this real life,
On a frozen night,
We'll be falling faster backwards into time.

In this real life,
In a beam of light,
We'll be sliding back up on the black ice

(4: 57)
Floating on the depth,
Dark and stoney seas,
In a vessel of, von creation
The ocean fell with this one sensation,
We were on the, black ice
You and me...

In this real life,
On a frozen night,
We'll be falling faster backwards into time.

In this real life,
In a beam of light,
We'll be sliding back up on the black ice

Overall Meaning

Transit One's song "Black Ice" is a reflective piece about the passage of time and the importance of waiting for the right moment. The opening lines set the scene of a winter's day where the sun is hidden away and the snow is falling fast. The singer then declares that what follows is indeed worth the long wait, suggesting that this moment has been long anticipated.


The chorus provides a further insight into the theme of the song, as the listener is told that in real life, we often go through moments where we feel as if we are sliding back in time, falling backwards faster. The beam of light mentioned in the lyrics seems to represent the hope that emerges in the midst of darkness, as we are able to climb back up from the black ice.


The second verse provides a vivid image of the two speakers floating on dark and stony seas in von creation's vessel. The sensation of being on black ice in the ocean adds to the imagery of trying to navigate through life's challenges. Despite the tough times, the singer and their companion are still moving forward together.


Overall, "Black Ice" invites the listener to reflect on the emotional journey of waiting for a significant moment, and the importance of holding onto hope even in the toughest of times.


Line by Line Meaning

On a winter's day,
During a cold and snowy day


When the sun hid away,
When the sun was not visible


When the snow was falling fast,
During a heavy snowfall


Oh and this came to pass,
This event occurred


It was all worth this long wait.
The wait was worthwhile


In this real life,
In the present reality


On a frozen night,
During a night where everything is frozen


We'll be falling faster backwards into time.
We will be moving backwards through time at an increasing speed


In a beam of light,
Within the path of a concentrated light


We'll be sliding back up on the black ice
We will be moving upwards on the black ice


Floating on the depth,
Drifting on the depth of something


Dark and stoney seas,
Sea that is dark and has lots of stones


In a vessel of, von creation
In a vessel made by Von


The ocean fell with this one sensation,
The ocean reacted with this one feeling


We were on the, black ice
We were on the black ice


You and me...
The artist and another person

In this real life
On a frozen night
We'll be falling faster backwards into time

In this real life
In a beam of light
We'll be sliding back up on the black ice

Floating on the deep
Dark and stoney seas
In a vessel of our creation
The ocean flows with this one sensation
We were on the black ice
You and me

In this real life
On a frozen night
We'll be falling faster backwards into time

In this real life
In a beam of light
We'll be sliding back up on the black ice
