Cold
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it
Set the bait and I'm waiting
In a state of concentrating
I'm gonna knock this motherfucker down, down, down, down, down
And there's a catch with this waiting
All of my thoughts are overtaking
Do I got the strength to take this fucker down?
Deep in me, insulting
Talking shit, pushing me
Cold
Cold
Inside lying deep, the father of hate
The endless nightmare I can never escape
The broken in flames, they call out my name
They dance in my dreams while I scream out in pain
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
Alone, awake with the craving
I watch my step, I'm calculating
On how I'm taking this motherfucker down, down, down, down, down
I don't know what I am thinking
Sometimes I feel like I am sinking
Into the ground I'll call my grave
Cold
Inside lying deep, the father of hate
The endless nightmare I can never escape
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
Break it down
Deep in me, insulting
Talking shit, pushing me
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it

I thought I would always feel the same, but I definitely don't listen to most of those bands anymore. Korn (mostly for Issues), Slipknot (mostly for Iowa), Deftones, SOAD, and Linkin Park (don't judge me), are the the only Nu Metal I really listen to. In Flames maybe could be counted as Nu Metal, but I wouldn't count it.
Most of my metal I still listen to is older metalcore, tech death, and some of the Djent stuff. The only new metal band I really like is Ice Nine Kills, but their music is super generic. Their lyrics are extremely fun, and they definitely know that catchy fun music is their thing.
I would say I am getting old, and that's why I am set in my ways, but I enjoy so much new EDM that I can't take it as that. I moreso just take it as metal is so explored, and most don't innovate. They just follow the same road.
I wish they nu metal albums that have come out in the last 5 years still captured that teenage angst and energy that I had when I was younger. Most of the time if feels like they called it in just got the cash.
I definitely am digging this track though, and will listen to the whole album.

@barbaradooley9285
I always imagined if i lost my husband id dive into drugs again...but when he wz shot n killed i did the opposite. I went numb just frm the whole situation. Not sayin i didn't think bout it tho but i chose the other option...to suffer with the pain of what happened. Its amazing how a death of someone so close to u flips ur life upside dwn and forces u to become a different person. U never know how strong u are until its the only choice u have.

Barbara Elifritz#B.E.Sugarbear Art - Amen to that I lost my father - uncle - brother and grandma all with in 2.5 years. But my brother was taken suddenly and tragically and I completely went as far to the edge without falling off it and was in the darkest place I’ve been in for a very long time. I truly didn’t think I would make it back but here I am day by day!
