Does the second 'it' refer to the sun?
2. "I feel that ice is slowly melting "
Any difference if I say, "It feels that ice is slowly melting"?
3. "It seems like years since it's been clear "
What does quote mean? Please explain.
Does the second 'it' refer to the sky?

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), the "it" in 3 is the Sun again. But in songs/poetry exact meanings are often pretty fluid. In 2, for example, there are (at least) two interpretations: 'I feel that [
conjunction] ice is slowly melting [
what he feels]', and 'I feel [
that, now that the Sun has come] that [
demonstrative adjective] ice is slowly melting'. My feeling is that since the vowel in the conjunction is often reduced to a schwa, but never in the demonstrative, the second meaning is more probable; but YMMV ('Your Mileage May Vary'- a general statement that things may be different in some cases).
