On Ice
Illuminate the Heart: Decoding Michael Nau's 'On Ice' Meaning
Lyrics
On Ice
Introducing the song's title, "On Ice."
what does it matter how we turn on the light
Questioning the significance of the method used to illuminate something.
baby, let’s turn on the light
Encouraging the idea of turning on the light.
i wasn’t dreaming about anything
Expressing not having specific dreams but a fear of the possibility.
but was afraid that i might
Concern about the potential of dreams leading to fear.
we always slip so far apart
Noting a recurring tendency to emotionally drift apart.
and every time we do it really breaks my heart
Emphasizing the emotional impact of drifting apart.
what does it matter how we turn on the light
Raising a similar question about the significance of illuminating something.
baby lets turn off the dark
Suggesting the action of dispelling darkness metaphorically.
and every time i see an empty space
Noticing voids or absences, possibly reflecting on oneself.
could be looking in a mirror, i see my face
Seeing one's reflection in an empty space, hinting at self-recognition.
and all the pieces just fall to pieces
Describing a situation where everything falls apart like melting ice in sunlight.
like ice on this saturday sun
Metaphorically comparing emotional detachment to melting ice.
we always slip so far apart
Reiterating the emotional drift and its heartbreaking nature.
and every time we do you know it breaks my heart
Reiterating the emotional impact of drifting apart.
what does it matter how we turn on the light
Repeating the inquiry about the significance of illumination.
baby lets turn off the dark
Encouraging dispelling darkness metaphorically.
what does it matter how we turn on the light
Repeating the question about illumination, potentially emphasizing its importance.
baby lets turn on the light
Reiterating the suggestion to turn on the light metaphorically.
what does it matter how we turn on the light
Repeating the question about the method of illumination.
baby lets turn on the light
Reiterating the encouragement to turn on the light metaphorically.
