Ice Age Lyrics

I find it looks the same but everything has changed
I find remembering gets harder every day
Sometimes I still believe who I pretend to be
Sometimes well everything's exactly how it seems
Exactly how it seems

I see the color of your eyes has turned to greyâ€¨
I feel the wind is growing colder every day
Sometimes I open up the walls and disappear
Sometimes the crashing of the waves is all I hear

Oceanâ€¨
Help me find a way
Oceanâ€¨
Wash us all away

I know that everything we did will come aroundâ€¨
I take the thought of you and burn it to the ground
Sometimes I’m waiting for this ice age to arrive
Sometimes the hate in me is keeping me alive

Oceanâ€¨
Help me find a wayâ€¨
Oceanâ€¨
Wash us all awayâ€¨
Oceanâ€¨
Help me find a wayâ€¨
Oceanâ€¨
Carry us awayâ€¨
Every day is getting shorter
I can feel it coming

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. That said, it also creeps me out and haunts me. It doesn't help that I watched "The Road" for the first time before hearing this song. If you have not seen the video for this song, please do yourself a service (favor?) and watch. John Hillcoat adds his usual desolate and foreboding edge to the piece. Death, punishment, and solitude looms and hangs over every note and breath of this song. Mariqueen Maandigs perfect voice coupled with the screeches and plonks of innovative tech and antique instruments is brilliant. I'm not sure of the motivation and exact meaning behind this, but if it was to etch its melody in my brain and make me give shadows a second glance...good job.

Have you heard the deadmau5 remix of this song? It's every bit as haunting as the original, if not even more so.
