Like Ice Cream
Savoring the Bittersweet Symphony of 'Like Ice Cream' Emotions
Lyrics
Whisper it to me the way you want me
Request to hear a message in a desired manner.
I don’t got no feeling no more
Expressing a lack of emotions or numbness.
Read it to me and tell me rights
Ask for information conveyed verbally and about rights.
I don’t think I know no more
Uncertainty about one's understanding or knowledge.
You’re talking soul power
Reference to a powerful and authentic expression of self.
And I’m right there too
Acknowledgment of sharing a similar experience.
She waited for me
Someone waited for the speaker patiently.
Like ice cream
Comparison of waiting to the enjoyment of ice cream.
I coulda took all summer
Implying a willingness to spend a significant amount of time.
Cafe dancer
Reference to a person dancing in a cafe.
She shows you her wounds
Revealing vulnerabilities or emotional scars.
And you think you know her well
Caution about assuming complete understanding of someone.
Can’t think a one place that you rather be
Expressing contentment with the current situation.
Ain’t nothing you need tonight
No immediate desires or necessities.
I’m ready to be it and you’re right there too
Ready to embrace a certain experience, with someone else present.
I’m living nostalgia like
Living in the past with a sense of fondness.
Like ice cream
Drawing a parallel between nostalgia and the pleasure of ice cream.
On dry ice in the summer
Describing a frozen state during summer.
And melted in the ultra sheen
Metaphorically melting in a shiny, glamorous environment.
And dime store cocoa butter
Reference to inexpensive cocoa butter.
She waiting for me
Repetition of someone waiting for the speaker.
Like ice cream
Reiteration of the waiting analogy with ice cream.
I coulda took all summer
Reaffirmation of the speaker's willingness to invest time.
So gimme some more
Expressing a desire for more of something enjoyable.
I like that
Affirmation of liking a particular aspect.
