The Freeze Lyrics
The icicles are forming in our eyes
As we go, as we go
The lucky ducks are waving us good bye
What a show, as we go
Don't forget your name, or the place from which you came
And the rest who still remain below
The best of us are taken by surprise
Even so, even so
We can't avoid the ultimate device
What a blow, even so
High and higher
How far do we go?
We can't expect to always see the sun shine
Frozen, silent, waiting in the cold
This is the longest night of all
The instruments are beating with a sigh
Yes we know, yes we know
It¹s time to close the door and say good night
Time to go, yes we know
All is cold tonight, but the stars are shining bright
And one day we¹ll see the light, I know
We can't expect to always see the sun shine
This is the longest night of all
As we go, as we go
The lucky ducks are waving us good bye
What a show, as we go
And the rest who still remain below
Even so, even so
We can't avoid the ultimate device
What a blow, even so
How far do we go?
We can't expect to always see the sun shine
Frozen, silent, waiting in the cold
This is the longest night of all
Yes we know, yes we know
It¹s time to close the door and say good night
Time to go, yes we know
And one day we¹ll see the light, I know

I\'ve always assumed it was about nuclear winter. We worried about global thermonuclear war a lot in the 1980s, and one of the expected results of such a conflict was a years-long winter due to all the dust it would kick up—the dust would block sunlight and the Earth would turn into a snowball, for a while at least. \n\nThe "ultimate device," by this interpretation, is the atomic bomb. The song seems to be about a group leaving an underground shelter for some reason. Maybe they were losers in a lottery held because there weren\'t enough resources in the shelter to support everyone? The "lucky ducks" would the ones who got to stay.
@blankfrank23 I thought for years Lene sang "we can't avoid the ultimate Device" and thought of that as our death but it's "demise" anyway and the song is about cryogenic freezing of the body to be woken in the future.
