| Owl City – The Tip of the Iceberg Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I took the 3 most powerful and descriptive sections that illustrate my views on this song. I love this song, and my meaning might not be the 'right ' one, but I think it fits. What I put in [] is what I picture a music video would do to explain some of the more cryptic lyrics. "If all the roads were paved with ice That wouldn't thaw or crack I could skate from Maine to Nebraska Then on to Alaska and back 'Cause you keep me warm" He can do anything with her at his back. She supports him and he feels invincible. This is something that he loves, but she doesn't. He can't see that supporting him drains her. In the song it is skating. "Peer over the edge Can you see me?-----------------------------------[She is passed out in the shower] Rivulets flow from your eyes Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall-------[Blood on the sink] And your lungs crystallize------------------------[Meth pipe] I'll travel the sub-zero tundra I'll break glaciers and frozen lakes--------------[Take her to the hospital] And that's just the tip of the iceberg I'll do whatever it takes to change" She couldn't handle giving him all her support. She turned to something else, something destructive. I see that as being drugs. It could be anything. "Farewell powdery paradise We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice Fingers failed us before they froze Frostbite bit down on all our toes Snow drifts build up and enfold us As we wait in this winter storm So we snuggle close in the darkness And keep each other so warm" He gives up 'skating' and decides to focus on her more. He is willing to give up ehat he loves to support her, like she was in the beginning. They focus on eachother rather something external, thier love flourishes. |
