The flames of war, and the death winter brings, in my mind. The dragons and Others are just extensions of those two ideas. That's an inteteresting one.

Some people think it's R+L=J, Rhaegar being fire and Lyanna being ice, and their son (Jon) being the "prince that was promised". This belief is reinforced by the vision Dany has in the House of the Undying, in which Rhaegar says "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of Ice and Fire". Now, presumably he is talking about Aegon (who, in my opinion, isnt really a Targaryen at all but either a puffed up Lyseni boy or a Blackfyre, but that's another story), but some adherents to the theory think he refers to Jon

Of course, there are hundreds of fan theories (quite a few outlandish), that claim to know what the Song is. I think it's meant to be ambiguous, and there is no true Song, but left for everybodies interpretation) Yeah, although the whole thing does seem to be an allegory for the human race destroying itself and being blind to the problems of the world.
