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.

Cold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's alright, but I ignore
This mess I've made
This election has got me down
The one over who gets to wear the crown
And sit on the throne of my state of mind
Staying, holding out for something
Waiting here for nothing and nothing always comes
But expecting no one and no one always comes
And a third faction joins in the fray
One who wants to make the crown go away
And open it up to the outside
So I send in the royal guard
To send them away and break them apart
Can't have another revolution inside
Staying, holding out for something
Waiting here for nothing and nothing always comes
But I keep on waiting, holding out for someone
But expecting no one and no one always comes (no one always comes)
Steeling myself for a breakdown
I feel it coming on now and I can't even breathe
So can you breathe for me? Can you speak for me?
And can you love for me when I'm not around? (when I'm not around)
Staying, holding out for something
Waiting here for nothing and nothing always comes
But I keep on waiting, holding out for someone
But expecting no one and no one always comes (no one always comes)
The song "No One" by Cold reflects the inner turmoil and frustration of the singer who feels like an empty king who stands before his throne without any purpose. He is torn between ignoring his mess and dealing with the current election, which is straining his state of mind. He feels like he is waiting and holding out for something, but nothing ever comes. The singer's hopelessness is evident when he says he expects no one, and no one always comes. In the second verse, a third faction joins in the fray, and the singer sends in the royal guard, which represents his anxiety and fears of losing control over the situation, fearing another revolution inside.
The song's chorus expresses the singer's struggles in keeping himself together, holding out for something, but nothing ever seems to manifest. He is afraid of breaking down and asks if someone can breathe, speak, and love for him when he's not around. The song ends with the singer realizing that expecting nothing means that no one ever comes. The line suggests that it is difficult to maintain hope and keep waiting when nothing seems to work, but sometimes, one has to keep holding out and waiting for that something.

Well I can't ever really believe
No one was sent to get me
And I feel like I'm being erased
No one got left here,
I'm all alone,
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone, no one got left here
But I'm fine,
No one got left here,
Well I'm fine,
No one got left here,
I can't even breathe when I see,
The pictures sent without you,
And I feel like I'm being erased,
No one got left here
I'm all alone, no one was sent to get me,
I'm all alone, no one got left here,
I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now just to find you
So sick of the terrible instinct,
I can only find you
@DarkCode

"I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you
I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you

If i can only hold you
I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
If i can only find you"
