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.

End of the World
Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remain static and unfulfilled
Drawn to tighter and tighter circles
Distracted and unfulfilled
Flashing memories of bending treetops
Spending the pages on the book of your youth
The notion of hours amount to nothing
Time’s just a turn of the wheel
Of a life you traded for this
Never going, yet ever staying
This cradled unconsciousness
Vivid images of violent convulsions
Smear the remains of the warmth in her eyes
The flesh that you wanted to be yours
Turns to chains that forever confine
With a voice that pierced the sunshine
Now cast your wishes to broken stone
The calm that claimed you deathless
Now claims your hopes
The lyrics of Cold's song End of the World suggest a certain fatalistic acceptance of the inevitable end that everyone knows will come someday. Everyone gathered around and watched as the clock ticked slowly, waiting for the end to come. They opened a bag of tricks, hoping to delay or change the ending, but ultimately stumbled over their own efforts. The lyrics suggest that these efforts were not enough, as the world was blown away, crippled and gone, leaving the singer happy that it was finally over.
The repetition of the line "it's the end of the world" emphasizes the inevitability of the end and the acceptance that comes with it. The hurricane mentioned in the lyrics suggests chaos and destruction, and the singer seems to find some solace in the fact that it is now gone. The repeated line "smile on, my love, my gun" is open to interpretation, but could suggest a certain resignation to one's fate or a desire to face the end with strength and courage.
Overall, the lyrics of End of the World convey a sense of fatalism and acceptance in the face of an inevitable end, and find solace in the idea that it is finally over.

Everyone came around here
Many people gathered in this place
Everyone else got sick
All the others became ill
And watched the clock tickin' slowly
They anxiously waited as time crawled by
Everyone knew the ending
All were aware of the ultimate outcome
Opened a bag of tricks
They tried various tactics
And stumbled over their own
And failed miserably
They blew minds away
They astounded and impressed everyone
Sort of the cripplin
Somewhat overwhelming
Just like thunder
Like a powerful force
And it's gone today
But now it's over
I'm so happy that it's on
I am relieved that it is finished
Well it's the end of the world
This marks the conclusion of everything
Well it's far away
Though it is remote
In a hurricane,
Amidst a chaotic situation
Twisting slowly
Slowly turning and changing
Now it's gone today
Now it has passed
Smile on, my love, my gun
Continue to smile, even if it is your weapon that is your companion
Well it's my world, my love, my gun
This world exclusively belongs to me, alongside my love and my weapon

Heres the lyrics.
Everyone came around here
Everyone else got sick
And watched the clock tickin' slowly
Everyone knew the ending
Opened a bag of tricks
And stumbled over their own
They blew minds away
Sort of the cripplin just like thunder
And it's gone today
I'm so happy that it's on
It's the end of the world
Well it's far away
In a hurricane, twisting slowly
Now it's gone today
I'm so happy that it's on
It's the end of the world
My world, my love, my gun
Now I'm all alone
Kept the pain inside
Wanna torch the world
Cause I'm breathin fire
My world, my love, my gun
