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.

Emily
Cold Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a cross she made that has her name
In the garden by the store
With a picture and a note that says
"I can't feel you anymore"

Was it God in here
Did he make you pray
Did he burn you up

Does it taste the same
When everyone around you falls apart

I can see her through the window pane
Trying hard not to call
When she lost her boy she went insane
She don't live here anymore

Was it God in here
Did he make you pray
Did he burn you up
Does it taste the same
When everyone around you falls apart

She stood and prayed for our souls
Our hearts, our love to start

Was it God in here
Did he make you pray
Did he burn you up

Does it taste the same
When everyone around you falls apart

Overall Meaning

In Cold's song Emily, the lyrics depict a person named Emily who has gone through a difficult situation that has left her feeling disconnected from the world around her. The opening lines suggest that Emily has made a cross with her name on it in a garden by the store. By leaving a picture and a note that says "I can't feel you anymore", it seems that Emily is struggling with her faith or trust in a higher power. The following lines ask about whether God was at play in her life, possibly causing her to pray or even burning her up with difficult experiences. The repetition of the question "does it taste the same" suggests that whatever Emily went through has influenced her in such a way that she can no longer experience the world around her as she used to.

The second verse of the song describes Emily as trying hard not to call, suggesting that she may be dealing with trauma or pain that is isolating her from others. The line, "when she lost her boy she went insane" hints at a loss of a child or loved one that Emily has struggled to come to terms with. The repetition of the same questions about God in this verse reinforces the idea that Emily is struggling with her faith and finding it challenging to trust in a higher power. The final lines of the song suggest that Emily has stood and prayed for the souls of others, indicating the empathetic nature of her character.

Overall, the lyrics to Cold's Emily suggest a person who has been through a significant loss or trauma that has left them feeling disconnected from others, struggling to believe in a higher power, and searching for answers about their suffering.
