Hailing from the port city of Baltimore… Read Full Bio ↴Baltimore, MD (2007-present)
Hailing from the port city of Baltimore, Maryland comes the war-mammoth known as Trapped Under Ice, who proudly inherit and build upon the mantle of their predecessors Next Step Up and Gut Instinct. Compound this with the sonic territories explored by New York bands such as Crown Of Thornz and Breakdown, and the intent of the outfit becomes obvious—total aural brutality.
Following their inception in 2007, a 5-song demo was quick to follow. That demo was also released as an EP on Flatspot Records. Hearing those songs, the crew at Reaper Records approached the band with a deal to release what would become known as the Stay Cold EP. The EP contains 6 tracks of unrelenting hardcore reality.

Stay Cold
Trapped Under Ice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pulled you close, because the world failed us both. Always knowing nothing could stay gold. The navigator of pain points my way once more. I will always stay cold.
You can't hurt me anymore. I stay cold forevermore.
So alone. But you can't hurt me anymore
The lyrics to Trapped Under Ice's "Stay Cold" seem to be about a person who has lost touch with reality and is struggling to maintain their sanity. The singer is looking back at their life and trying to make sense of it all, but the answers they find only bring them pain. The chorus seems to suggest that the singer has become numb to the world around them, and they have pulled someone close to them as a way of coping with their pain. However, they acknowledge that nothing in life can stay perfect, and they will always be navigating through pain. The final lines are a statement of strength - they declare that they cannot be hurt anymore and will remain "cold" forevermore.
