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.

Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone got blessed, I still love you.
No one ever said I don't enjoy the shame,
No one ever said I don't enjoy the game.
Nothing ever changes here in my bizarre
Everyone to tell, I want to breathe the fumes,
No one ever said I won't enjoy the shame,
No one ever said I won't enjoy the game.
Nothing ever changes here in my bizarre
I came (to) a world, it's farther ruled out.
No one believed God loved his children,
I'm all alone, no one forgives me
I've said too much, God loved his children.
Nothing ever changes here in my bizarre.
The lyrics to Cold's song Bizarre reflect a sense of detachment, isolation, and a love of the oddities in life. The repetition of "everyone to tell, I want to breathe the fumes" can be interpreted as a desire for connection, even if it means inhaling the toxic air around them. The lines "no one ever said I don't enjoy the shame, no one ever said I don't enjoy the game" suggest a willingness to participate in destructive behavior, indicating a fear of missing out.
The chorus of "nothing ever changes here in my bizarre" further emphasizes the sense of stagnation and sameness. The second verse introduces an element of religion, with the lyric "no one believed God loved his children." This could speak to a feeling of abandonment or disillusionment with higher powers. The lyrics "I'm all alone, no one forgives me, I've said too much, God loved his children" suggest regret, perhaps for speaking out against the norm and being punished for it.
Overall, the lyrics to Bizarre paint a picture of someone struggling to find their place in the world, craving connection but also embracing the strange and unconventional aspects of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Everyone to tell, I want to breathe the fumes,
I want to be part of everyone else's indulgence and be able to breathe in the same toxic air as them.
Everyone got blessed, I still love you.
Even though everyone else is fortunate, I still have love for you.
No one ever said I don't enjoy the shame,
Nobody's ever told me that I don't relish in the embarrassment and dishonor I face.
No one ever said I don't enjoy the game.
Nobody's ever told me that I don't delight in playing along with the deceitful and manipulative ways of the world.
Nothing ever changes here in my bizarre
The abnormal and twisted nature of my existence remains constant and unchanging.
I came (to) a world, it's farther ruled out.
I arrived in a place that's already far gone and beyond being controlled.
No one believed God loved his children,
There's a lack of faith in a higher power's love for humanity.
I'm all alone, no one forgives me
I'm completely isolated and no one's willing to extend forgiveness towards me.
I've said too much, God loved his children.
Perhaps I've revealed too much and gone against what people believe about a benevolent higher power.
Nothing ever changes here in my bizarre.
The abnormal and twisted nature of my existence remains constant and unchanging.

WILD THINGS
good song, i had this on a c.d. about ten years ago and i had no idea who sang it because i had downloaded it off of napster (anyone remember napster?) and it had the artist listed as Staind and i knew it wasnt no damn staind so i just figured it was an unreleased track from some band and then i found it today by googling the lyrics.

@WILD THINGS I remembered partying with some girl ten years ago and this song was playing. The lyrics just popped into my head today and it took forever to track it down. I remember it also being saved on her player as Staind and we talked about how it definitely wasn't Staind.

@Derek Taylor wow very similar to my experience. That's awesome!
Also I left this comment 9 years ago, Holy shit!

A friend had made me a copy of staind - break the cycle back in the day on a blank tape back in the day and he included this song on it though i could tell it def wasn’t staind but I bumped it regardless. A few years later i had heard stupid girl and absolutely loved that song, and here recently heard it come on the radio so it sparked an interest for me in Cold all of a sudden, and i listened to no one and the way he sings i was like hey that sounds like the same voice off that one song that was on that tape dude made for me that was supposed to be break the cycle, so i googled cold and looked up their albums and ended up finding this!! I’m so happy to know the name of the song and who sings it!! It just sparks even further interest in Cold for me too!! Damn they were fucking badass!!
