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.

Bleed
Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I'm in this cycle again
Writing thoughts of a pessimist
I lack clarity
I resorted to
Letting the ache contort my well-being
While I'm fighting
For the love that's left in me
(It's killing me)
This misery is comforting
As I bleed out
I'm spiraling
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
They say to understand this life you must experience pain
To carry a cross with near unbearable weight
Do not tread lightly
Do not be afraid
Anger's led by fear
While Hate's led by anger
The suffering is led by the hate
But what
Would it cost to change
The way I think
To have
More trust in you
And more
Faith in me?
Cause I can't seem to loosen up
(It's killing me)
This misery is comforting
As I bleed out
I'm spiraling
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
Is this process all that's left for me?
And what am I truly willing to leave behind
To make amends with melancholy?
Cause I can't seem to loosen up
(It's killing me)
This misery is comforting
As I bleed out
I'm spiraling
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
On the way up
I'm spiraling
As I bleed out
I'm spiraling
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
It's killing me
The lyrics of Cold's song "Bleed" explore a complex and conflicting relationship between two people. The opening lines, "Your heart keeps a blade of apprehension, Hidden deep in our conversation," speak to a sense of guardedness and mistrust in the relationship. Despite this, the two individuals continue to engage with one another, with one party (presumably the singer) acknowledging that their life leads to the other's deception.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on themes of isolation and loneliness, with lines like "Bitter sweet isolation" and "All your dreams drift uncollected, In your sleep where there's no protection." We see a picture of two people who are deeply intertwined, yet still struggle to fully trust and understand one another.
The chorus of the song is both intense and somewhat unsettling: "You get violent sometimes, I don't mind 'cos it means you're mine." While it's unclear from the lyrics what exactly is meant by the phrase "get violent," it implies a degree of emotional or physical aggression that is concerning. Despite this, the singer seems to find some sense of comfort in the other's possessiveness, suggesting a level of co-dependence in the relationship.

"Bleed"
I'm feeling crossed
I take it inside
Burn up the pain
My thoughts are strange
Just like the things
I used to love
Just like the tree that fell
I heard it
If art is still inside
I feel it
I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive
Take all these strings
They call my veins
Wrap them around
Every fucking thing
Presence of people
Not for me
Well I must remain in tune
Forever
My love is music
I will marry melody
I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive
Won't you let me take you
For a ride
You can stop the world
Try to change my mind
Won't you let me show you
How it feels
You can stop the world
But you won't change me
I need music
I need music
I need music to set me free
To let me bleed
@wesleyfrisch1989
simply bleed
I'm feeling crossed, I take it inside
Burn up the pain, my thoughts are strange
Just like the things I used to know
Just like the tree that fell, I heard it
Art is still inside I feel it
I wanna bleed (I wanna show you all the pain)
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream (I wanna make you feel the same)
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive
Take all these strings, they call my veins
Wrap them around, every fucking thing
Presence of people not for me
Well I must remain in tune forever
My love is music, I will marry melody
I wanna' bleed (I wanna show you all the pain)
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream (I wanna make you feel the same)
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive
I said
I wanna bleed (Show you all the pain)
I wanna feel
I wanna scream (Make you feel the same)
I wanna feel
Won't you let me take you for a ride
You can stop the world, try to change my mind
Won't you let me show you how it feels
You can stop the world, but you won't change me
I need music
I need music
I need music
To set me free
To let me bleed

This song...was one of my late best friends favorites. He and I went to high school together, joined the army and deployed together. Not just once, but twice to Taji Iraq, in 2004 and in 2008. When we got home in December of 2008, he was facing a divorce. On February 24 2009, he left for the Mall of America, from Arkansas, and hit a patch of black ice. He succumbed to the injuries from that roll over, and changed my life forever. It's been 13 years, but I still visit his grave 2 or 3 times a year. Thank you Scooter Ward, for the great memories I have tied to this song. Life wouldn't be the same without you or the rest of Cold. Thank you.

I also was in Taji in 2004 to 2005. I know the pain. I hope this message finds you prospering ❤❤
@MH-cj1gz
Sad this song wasn't more popular. Because it has value.
@FarewellFix
Very much was beloved when it came out. Had the chance to see Cold and Staind on tour for this, Aaron Lewis came out for the song. It was incredible. Band gets overshadowed as years go on and they get older. They were/are loved.
@EsotericHighway
I mean it has almost 5 million views.
It's also not unpopular
@FallouFitness_NattyEdition
Music like this will always be criminally undervalued.
