Ice Age Lyrics

Cover art for Ice Age lyrics by Joy Division

The Ice Age is when sheets of Ice covered a big part of the globe. In this song it is a metaphor for emotions freezing over. The two people stand holding hands but they do not smile or feel anything. There seems to be alot of atrocities between them and in the world and they do not wish to discuss them to make things better and to thaw out the ice that numbs them. "I'v seen the real atrocities buried in the sand."
