Between the Sheets
Trapped Under Ice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I would if I could
But it's too late
To take back the damage I've caused
The people I love
Have been hurt by the things that I've done

Baby girl don't cry
I know what you want, but I
I can't give it to you




Dead or alive

The next line "But it's too late," reinforces the idea that there's no going back.


The next line, "To take back the damage I've caused," shows the singer acknowledging their wrongdoing and taking responsibility for their actions. however, the subsequent lines, "The people I love, have been hurt by the things that I've done," reveal the pain they feel about causing harm to those they hold dear. This shows that the singer is remorseful and understands the consequences of their actions.


The last two lines, "Baby girl don't cry, I know what you want but I, I can't give it to you, Dead or alive," deepens the melancholy tone of the song. The singer acknowledges the lover's pain and longing but accepts that nothing can be done to fix it. The last word, 'dead or alive' emphasizes that there's no escaping the irreversible consequences of their actions.
