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.

Go Away
Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the music seeps into you, everyone was trampled dead,
Everyone could see your madness slip in till it takes control,
Everyone could see right through you, I wish you would just...
Go away! (Go!)
Go away! (Go!)
Go away!
Go away from all the pain that made you half as good as God
Taken all over in my brain, I recall the future
Take another star, make him feel the pain.
For every song you ever wrote take another fucking drink
For every melody that haunts take a pill that makes you faint
For every part of you that hurts take a needle and make it sting
The irony is I'm just like you, a pseudo-fucking freak
Fuck you, you piece of shit!
The lyrics of Cold's song "Go Away" depict the internal struggle of an individual with madness and pain. The singer is haunted by sounds and music that used to be a source of comfort for them. However, the same sounds now exacerbate their pain and drive them towards a state of insanity. The lyrics suggest that the individual's pain and madness are palpable to everyone around them, and they wish they could disappear and escape from it all. The chorus reflects this sentiment, as the singer screams for them to "go away" repeatedly.
The second verse of the song emphasizes the individual's torment. The lyrics convey that the pain they carry with them consumes their life and makes them feel like they are only half as good as God. The singer recalls the future, suggesting that they are haunted by their demons and the possibility of what still lies ahead. The lines "Take another star, make him feel the pain" may indicate that the individual is projecting their internalized pain onto others to feel a sense of power or control.
The following lines suggest self-destructive tendencies, as the singer turns to alcohol, pills, and self-harm to numb their pain. They appear to be aware of the irony that they criticize themselves for their own self-destructive behavior while simultaneously embodying the same behavior. The final line of the song, "Fuck you, you piece of shit!" is directed towards the singer's own inner demons, culminating in a shout of frustration at their own suffering.
