1) Cold Blood is a San Francisco-based R&B band originally formed by guitarist Larry Field as the "New Invaders" in the wake of the Summer of Love, Cold Blood had the key elements of strong female vocalist, a fine guitarist, and a powerful horn section. After successful gigs at Golden Gate Park and at the Fillmore, they were signed by impresario Bill Graham to his new San Francisco Records label, on which they released their self-titled debut in 1969. Four more albums followed over the next five years -- in fact, later efforts boasted the production and musical contributions of Steve Cropper -- but all were hamstrung by Graham's underhanded distribution deals with Columbia and Atlantic.
Though the debut's single "You've Got Me Humming" crawled up to number 52 on the American charts, Cold Blood seemed doomed to labor in the shadow of bands like Tower of Power, Chicago, and especially Janis Joplin. The latter comparison became endemic among critics; for although blues belter joined Field's band as its youngest member -- she had formerly been, of all things, a childhood national rollerskating champion -- her magnetic stage presence established her as the band's central force. Eventually, the band billed itself as Lydia Pense With Cold Blood, and even released an album simply titled Lydia. Joplin sensed a kindred soul; after screaming at Cold Blood for scooping her on a blistering cover of "Piece of My Heart," she warmed to Pense enough to give her a swig of Southern Comfort.
After hitting increasingly lower tier venues in San Francisco by the late '70s, Cold Blood disbanded for most of the next decade; Pense focused her energies on child rearing. By the late '80s, the band slowly awoke from its long sleep, and they began regular features on California's festival and fair circuit. A 1998 return to their Fillmore stomping ground brought out the band's faithful..
2) Cold Blood is a Thrash Metal band from USA formed in 1987.
3) Coldblood is a death metal band from Brazil and has no space in between the 'Cold' and the 'Blood'. Their official name is Coldblood.
Visions
Cold Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On these sad wings of destiny
Nothing ever stays the same, for those who choose to follow
Flames drowning in the rain
Embers crushed by decay
Its cancerous and hollow
Their claims a hollow mockery
Forced agenda, behind autonomy
Swelling vanity
Forced opinion
Independent
They can’t make you see
Liberties own failings
Tragedies we must see
Creating enemies
Out of love and deceipt
Whispered blasphemies
This is your life, all alone
Going nowhere, with eyes closed
Keep going, quit when im dead
Dark visions, in my head
Hypocrisy
Swelling Vanity
Independent
Dark Visions
Covet Insanity
Dark Visions
Covet insanity
The lyrics of Cold Blood's song Visions seem to reflect on the struggle of maintaining individuality and fighting against the oppressive nature of conformity. The first few lines describe the pain and struggle that is inherent in following one's own path rather than following the crowd. The metaphor of sad wings of destiny suggests a sense of inevitability and melancholy that comes with such a choice.
The lyrics then go on to criticize those who would try to impose their own opinions and agendas on others while pretending to give them autonomy. The use of words like "hollow mockery" and "swelling vanity" suggest a sense of disdain for those who preach independence but do not practice it themselves. The lines "creating enemies out of love and deceit" seems to refer to the way in which people can turn on each other when we fail to accept those who are different from ourselves.
The chorus brings in a sense of hopelessness and futility to the lyrics. The line "this is your life, all alone, going nowhere with eyes closed" suggests a sense of aimlessness and directionlessness. The repetition of "dark visions" and "covet insanity" at the end of the chorus gives a sense of despair and resignation.
