Ice Cream
Unknown Nobody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could fly far away
So I couldn′t be here sitting
Next to me
While I sleep
And then I started thinking
How stupid that is
Sometimes I think
'Bout how my world works
And I end up crying
Waking neighbors up
Sun is up
And then I breathe deeply
′Cause we are alone
Is a dystopian world
My city-flavored ice cream cone
The feeling of eyes watching me
The future is on us
Maybe if
I break through the 4th wall
Then I could stop living
Like everyone else
Wants me so
But well then
Who am I being?
A human unknown
Is a dystopian world
My city-flavored ice cream cone
The feeling of eyes watching me
The future is on us
Sometimes I lay alone in my bed
Asking why I exist
Am I allowed to say what I feel
Is the right common sin?
And then, I stop thinking
The song "Ice Cream" by Unknown Nobody reflects on the struggles of feeling trapped in a society where one feels like they don't belong. The lyrics talk about the desire to escape, to fly away from a place where they feel watched and judged. The line "And I end up crying, waking neighbors up, sun is up" reflects the sense of loneliness and isolation that can come with feeling like an outsider. However, the song doesn't suggest running away is the answer. Instead, it explores the idea of breaking through the walls of societal norms and finding one's own identity, even if that means being "a human unknown".
The lyrics also touch on existential questions such as why we exist and if it's okay to express oneself honestly, even if it goes against societal expectations. It's a relatable song for anyone who has ever felt like they don't fit in or struggled with their sense of self. The dystopian imagery of a city-flavored ice cream cone creates a powerful metaphor for the feeling of being overwhelmed by one's surroundings.
Overall, "Ice Cream" is a thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to question and challenge the status quo in order to find their own path.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I wish
There are moments when I desire
I could fly far away
To make it far from here and escape
So I couldn't be here sitting
So I wouldn't be here in this spot
Next to me
Alongside myself
While I sleep
During my rest
And then I started thinking
I pondered about something
How stupid that is
It's illogical and foolish
Sometimes I think
Occasionally I ponder
'Bout how my world works
About how my own universe operates
And I end up crying
And I finish weeping
Waking neighbors up
Disturbing nearby residents
Sun is up
The dawn has arisen
And then I breathe deeply
I inhale calmly
'Cause we are alone
Because we are isolated by ourselves
Is a dystopian world
This is a society that is vital but illusory
My city-flavored ice cream cone
My urban mixture of happiness and despair
The feeling of eyes watching me
The sensation of being scrutinized
The future is on us
Our destiny is in our hands
Maybe if
Possibly if
I break through the 4th wall
I go beyond the limitations of perception
Then I could stop living
Subsequently I could halt my existence
Like everyone else
Comparable to the masses
Wants me so
Desires me to remain
But well then
However, in that case
Who am I being?
What role am I truly playing?
A human unknown
An anonymous person
Sometimes I lay alone in my bed
At times I recline by myself in bed
Asking why I exist
Wondering the reason for my being
Am I allowed to say what I feel
May I express my emotions openly?
Is the right common sin?
Are popular ideals inherently flawed?
And then, I stop thinking
And then, I cease mental activity

That part where the arm is flying away with the balloon is trippy

came from reddit, this is so psychodhelic and strange but I meanit in a good way, it's quite though provoking, the voice has too many effects but at the same time it was abit off pitch at some points,still it all works with the strangeness of the video, definitely doesn't leave you indiferent, its kinda disturbing at points. fellow singer-songwriter.
