| Nada Surf – Icebox Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The singer has died, and is realizing it and realizing what he wants of his lover, in that very last second of life. "Stay until you're sure that I'm asleep" - Don't leave me yet, don't go until I'm gone. "Just wait until tomorrow, bury me in sorrow, cover me in joy" - I'm gone. You'll get past this and in the meantime, be sad if you must, but remember me with joy, becauser that's how I'll remember you. "Every afternoon I wasted being mad at you, the things I never said, the things I can't say tomorrow" - All of that shit isn't important, I said things and you said things and the rest will never come, so don't dwell. "I'll have an eternity to think about tomorrow" - I'm not going anywhere. I just might never think of anything but you again, and how you're getting on, and what happened once I was gone? That's my take on it, folks. |

The singer wants, but his inner (and perhaps outer) voices insist he can't have. Still, that doesn't stop the wanting. Self-denial, it's a terrible thing. |

| Relationships disintegrating, this is a hopeless cry from someone who can't let the past go, or who feels they'll never be truly forgiven. | |
