"Ice Age" is a song by How To Destroy Angels from their second release, An Omen EP. In a Reddit AMA, Trent Reznor talked about the track
Thank you. We were experimenting around with the juxtaposition of something familiar and almost folky sounding sitting in a very cold and sterile environment. Mariqueen had this melody that would have been happy living in a Fleetwood Mac record, and we created this plucky accompaniment that sounded acoustic but was anything but. Then we put all that in the freezer. The full record expands the boundaries of the EP a bit more.

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, the little thing's exactly how it seems Exactly how it seems I see the color of your eyes has turned to gray 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 Ocean, oh, help me find a way Ocean, oh, wash us all away I know that everything we did will come around I take the thought of you and burn it to the ground Sometimes, I'm waiting for this ice age to arrive Sometimes, I hate the me that's keeping me alive Ocean, oh, help me find a way Ocean, oh, wash us all away Ocean, oh, help me find a way Ocean, oh, carry us away
