This prompt came right on time for the big winter weather so many of us are feeling today and the weekend. It’s sleeting, snowing and so cold, in the single digits, with wind chills in the negatives.
I looked at some songs I knew with cold in the lyrics or title, but wasn’t inspired to post them again. I’d done them before. Then I looked at a list, and didn’t like those much either. So I then named a few bands to see if they had anything with ‘cold’, nope. Then I thought, hmmm, how about alternative songs. I found quite a few, and I liked this one a lot. I’ve heard of this band before and I liked how the video looked here, and the music and lyrics.
I read that it stayed a really long time on the charts, but never got to # 1. It sold a lot going platinum though. Read more of how he thought to write this song in the wiki link below.
The plot of the music video shows a man shackled to a large square stone carrying it through a swamp, while preachers and others look on. He is condemned to drown for infidelity. There are two women mourners in the audience, and you can imagine who they are to this man. Soon he falls into the swamp water and drowns.
“So Cold” , by Breaking Benjamin, is on their 2004 album, “We Are Not Alone”. It was written by Benjamin Burnley, and is on the Hollywood label. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Cold_(Breaking_Benjamin_song)

Crowded streets all cleared away, one by one
Hollow heroes separate as they run
You’re so cold, keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die
Show me how it ends, it’s alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that’s alright, let’s give this another try
If you find your family, don’t you cry
In this land of make believe, dead and dry
You’re so cold but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time
Show me how it ends, it’s alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that’s alright, let’s give this another try
Show me how it ends, it’s alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well, that’s alright, let’s give this another try
It’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright

… I’m blue and cold … from lyrics “Dear Agony”
***
I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven’s arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began
And I will find the enemy within
‘Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
Dear agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it’s got to be?
Dear agony
Suddenly, the lights go out
Let forever drag me down
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until the end
And I will find the enemy within
‘Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
Dear agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it’s got to be?
Don’t bury me
Faceless enemy
I’m so sorry
Is this the way it’s gotta be?
Dear agony
Leave me alone
God let me go
I’m blue and cold
Black sky will burn
Love pull me down
Hate lift me up
Just turn around
There’s nothing left
Somewhere far beyond this world
I feel nothing anymore
Dear agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it’s got to be?
Don’t bury me
Faceless enemy
I’m so sorry
Is this the way it’s gotta be?
Dear agony
I feel nothing anymore
