This song was written about John Squire's personality and use of cocaine during the Second Coming era (and end) of the Roses Career.
"I just ran into this ice cold cube
Thought its ways could freeze me out"
refers to the way in which John refused to speak to Ian or write songs with him anymore.
The overall message of the song is that Squire left the roses to persue better things and further his career (creating Seahorses), leaving Ian behind, but Ians goin to carry on without him and determined to do better.
In hindsight, the song makes more sense now than ever, as the Seahorses disbanded in 1999, and Browns career is still goin strong, with 5 studio albums, 1 remix album and 1 Greatest Hits album under his belt.
