Cold [1] are from Jacks… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 10 artists called "Cold".
Cold [1] are from Jacksonville, Florida, USA. With the release of their self-titled debut, "Cold," in 1998, the band quickly became known for its angsty lyrics and the singer's distinctive voice. "Cold" has obvious touches of grunge, but on the following album, "13 Ways to Bleed on Stage," Cold changed towards a more ambivalent, and in some ways, alternative hard rock with slightly calmer, angst inspired songs. Since their early work, Cold has moved closer to plain rock, heavily inspired by lead singer Scooter Ward's dark lyrics and sorrowful sound. Cold released a third album titled "Year of the Spider" that moved them closer to mainstream rock as well as mainstream success. Cold collaborated with game developer and publisher Midway to produce an exclusive song titled "With My Mind" for the 2004 video game Psi - Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. Their fourth release "A Different Kind Of Pain" moves more-so in the direction of dark, emotional lyrics. This album was released on August 30th, 2005.
Cold is rumored to have always been able to illicit very close and emotional feelings amongst its fans, which has resulted in a very tight fan base nicknamed the "Cold Army," an obvious Kiss reference in and of itself. Lead singer Scooter Ward is in close contact with certain Cold fans via the band's official homepage and forum, which is run and moderated by a former fan.
Former members of Cold include guitarist Terry Balsamo, who left the band after a joint tour to replace Ben Moody of Evanescence, and Kelly Hayes, who left the band amid turmoil over its future in music and in the music industry itself.
In late February 2006, Scooter Ward posted on the band's forum that Cold has "called it a day," but that he and drummer Sam McCandless will start a new project, "The Witch". The project just recently announced a new name, "When November Falls," and has also announced a tentative title for their first release as "The Series of Emotion." It is expected out in March, with the first single hopefully hitting the radio airwaves around January...
In late April 2006, Scooter Ward announced, via MySpace, that Cold was no longer going to disband, but instead simply take a break. It was presumed that Scooter Ward and Sam McCandless were going to continue work on "When November Falls" during this break. In November 2006, it was again announced that Cold was now officially over after a good 20 year run and that "When November Falls" was now Ward's main focus.
"When November Falls" was to "The Killer And The Star" in March of 2008.
In July of 2008 it was announced that Cold would reunite in 2009 for a reunion tour and a new album. The Killer And The Star would also be part of the tour.
Six years after their announced split, Cold reunited and released "Superfiction," their fifth album. "Superfiction" debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard 200, riding the success of the single "Wicked World." The album took the band in a somewhat different direction with their sound and lyrics, alienating some of their fanbase. Introspective, sorrow-laden lyrics were replaced with a form alterna-rock storytelling mimicking fairy tales.
On June 2019, Cold announces that their upcoming album "The Things We Can't Stop" will be released by September 13, 2019.

Another Pill
Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lose you win
Your mystery hides all your feelings
You're on your way to medicate
No one to hold
No one to see
Take another pill for love
Be free again
Think of everyone you've lost
Let them open up your heart to
Complete yourself
You're all alone
With broken wings
Your life hinges on your direction
Look to the stars who medicate
Listen to hear the whole world sing
Take another pill for love
Let it open up your mind to
Be free again
Think of everyone you've lost
Let them open up your heart to
Complete yourself
The world to hold

The lyrics to Cold's song "Another Pill" are a reflection on the pain and loneliness that can come with heartbreak. The opening lines "You're all the same, You lose you win" suggest that life is full of ups and downs, and that everyone experiences heartbreak in some form or another. The second line "Your mystery hides all your feelings" speaks to the idea that people often hide their true emotions behind a facade of strength or indifference. The following line "You’re on your way to medicate, No one to hold, No one to see" suggests that the singer is turning to some form of self-medication to cope with their pain.
The chorus "Take another pill for love, Let it open up your mind to be free again, Think of everyone you've lost, Let them open up your heart to complete yourself" speaks to the idea that the singer is using drugs or alcohol to escape their pain, and that they need to confront their feelings and embrace the pain in order to move forward. The lines "You’re all alone, With broken wings, Your life hinges on your direction" suggest that the singer is struggling to find their way after a loss, and that they need to take control of their life in order to find happiness.
