Red Cold River Lyrics

Day's reborn
Fight with folded hands
Pain left below
The lifeless live again

Run, Run, Run
Red cold river
Run, Run, Run
Red cold river

I can’t feel anything at all
This life has left me cold and dammed
I can’t feel anything at all
This love has led me to the end

Stay reformed
Erase this perfect world
Pain left below
The dark stray dog of war

Run, Run, Run
Red cold river
I can’t feel anything at all
This life has left me cold and dammed
I can’t feel anything at all
This love has led me to the end

Try to find a reason to live
Try to find a reason to live
Try to find a reason to live

I can’t feel anything at all
(Try to find a reason to live)
This life has left me cold and dammed
(Try to find a reason to live)
I can’t feel anything at all
This love has let me to the end
Run, Run, Run
Red cold river

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think the vocals speak for the meaning, what should breed inconsolable rage is inconsolably numb instead. You want to scream but the weight of everything just takes the feeling away.

Utter despair filled rage. Feeling helpless and hatred for feeling so. Dangerous and unstable. Spirit raped by loss

The video tells a terrific, albeit horrific story. It was in my opinion, well written and we'll acted. The reaction of the father is totally relatable and realistic. I'd do pretty much the same thing if that was my child. Gut wrenching and traumatic pain. WELL WORTH WATCHING.

For anyone interested, the story of the father and daughter from Red Cold River continues in Torn In Two, and again in Tourniquet. The story is compelling and heartbreaking as you watch the desperate father fight to get his beloved daughter back, seemingly being stopped by everyone he crosses. All three are great songs and truly convey the emotions of rage and despair the father feels as he just seems to get further and further from finding his daughter.
