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.

Change the World
Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You became a part of me
Thinking of the wish you made
To break free
Playing you like I can
Shoving it in your face
This doesn't break your heart
I'm the one to blame
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
And whatever happens now
It can't be real
Thinking that you might betray
My own private fantasy
I'm the one that gives
What you need
Playing you like I can
Shoving it in your face
If this doesn't tear you apart
I'm the one to blame
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
And whatever happens now
It can't be real
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
And whatever happens now
It can't be real
Now you're gone
I feel betrayed
You can't blame me
You walked away
Now you're gone
You can't blame me
You walked away
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
And whatever happens now
It can't be real
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
And whatever happens now
It can't be real
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
And whatever happens now
It can't be real
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
The lyrics to Cold's song "Change The World" are about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is reflecting on the mistakes made and wishes that they could have done things differently. They admit to "playing" the other person and shoving things in their face, but ultimately takes the blame for the relationship falling apart. They never intended to change the other person's world and only wanted the simple things, but now that it's over, they feel betrayed and hurt.
The opening lines "Thinking of the mess was made, you became a part of me" imply that the relationship had a significant impact on the singer, and they can't help but think about it. "Playing you like I can, shoving it in your face" suggests that the singer may have intentionally hurt the other person and acknowledged that their actions were wrong. They appear to have been in a power struggle with the partner, causing the relationship to end.
The singer's repetition of the line "I never wanted to change your world," reinforces their desire for simplicity and non-involvement. But, despite their intentions, the relationship ends, and the singer feels that they can't be blamed for it. Overall, "Change The World" is a vulnerable and emotional ballad that explores the complexities of a romantic relationship that didn't work out.
Line by Line Meaning
Thinking of the mess was made
Reflecting on the chaos that was created
You became a part of me
You became intertwined with my life
Thinking of the wish you made
Remembering the desire you expressed
To break free
To escape from what was holding you back
Playing you like I can
Manipulating you as much as I am able to
Shoving it in your face
Making my actions impossible to ignore
This doesn't break your heart
You aren't emotionally affected by this
I'm the one to blame
I take responsibility for what happened
Thinking that you might betray
Considering the possibility that you might deceive me
My own private fantasy
My personal idea of how things should be
I'm the one that gives
I am the one who provides for you
What you need
The things that are necessary for you
If this doesn't tear you apart
If this doesn't emotionally destroy you
I'm the one to blame
I accept responsibility for any harm caused
Now you're gone
You have left and are no longer here
I feel betrayed
I feel like you have turned against me
You can't blame me
I am not at fault for your departure
You walked away
You chose to leave on your own
I never wanted to change your world
I didn't want to alter your life drastically
I always wanted the simple things
I desired basic, uncomplicated aspects of life
And whatever happens now
Regardless of what occurs from this point on
It can't be real
It feels like this situation can't be true, it's too surreal
