ColdWorld's first demo, "The Stars Are Dead Now", was released via Ancient Dreams Prod. and limited to 100 copies. "Melancholie²", ColdWorld's debut album, was released in April 2008 via Cold Dimensions.
ColdWorld combines atmospheric black metal with influences from ambient and electronic music, the centre stage takes the music with its sweeping melodies and icy atmosphere. ColdWorld's music forces fine-tuned listening and allows the listener submerge his/herself within a very special, cold world. ColdWorld leaves behind conventional, traditional black metal and brings forth new possibilities when it comes to song-writing and interpretation.
This Empty Life
ColdWorld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this pleasure is to our, emerge with a star.
You have not really lived, your life has no goal,
you watched her getting old,
your empty eyes can't tell no story,
your empty heart can't stay alive.
You're empty and so paralized, almost nothing,
makes you cry... this empty life.
Don't start again, to be alive.
You are empty...
In this empty life...
Your empty eyes can't bare no sight,
your empty hope can't speak of her.
Your empty heart can't bare a life,
You're good as nothing, makes you cry
this empty life...
This empty life...
The lyrics of ColdWorld's "This Empty Life" discuss the idea of a life that is devoid of meaning and purpose. The opening line "No one ever survived, in this empty life" sets the tone for a bleak and hopeless existence. The song talks about how pleasure and materialistic pursuits cannot provide lasting happiness or fulfillment. The line "this pleasure is to our, emerge with a star" suggests an emptiness and superficiality behind such indulgence.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of missed opportunities and a life devoid of accomplishments or progress. The line "you have not really lived, your life has no goal" suggests a sense of stagnation and lack of direction. The reference to "watched her getting old" could imply regret or a sense of loss as time passes by without achieving anything meaningful. The song portrays the singer as being emotionally disconnected and numb, with "empty eyes" and an "empty heart" unable to experience or express any deep sentiment.
The repetition of "this empty life" at the end of each verse reinforces the theme of a life without purpose, punctuated by the line "almost nothing makes you cry." The song seems to suggest that merely existing without having a reason to live can be a form of suffering, aptly summed up in the line "suffering to be alive." The song ends with the refrain "you are empty, in this empty life," a poignant observation to the unfulfilled existence that the lyrics describe.

My life is very happy because of the existence of bleak, depressive black metal, and happy, up-lifting power metal. I embrace both light and darkness.

@Andrea Amaya de acuerdo contigo, no conozco banda que iguale a coldworld en sonido, voz y letra. Junto a Violet Cold, de lo mejor que me he encontrrado cayendo mas en los subgeneros del black metal.
