i feel that the songs on pornography seem to fit together chronologically, like its telling a story. The previous song "A Strange Day" is about someone committing suicide because he thinks it's the answer. But i believe that this song is this person's soul looking at his dead body, and realizing that it is better to be alive, but it is too late. It does seem at first like the song is about someone else dying, but that is inconsistent with the rest of the album. So the narrator is this person's soul, which is shapeless, nameless, and is neither in heaven or hell; it is nowhere. I think that the name he's referring to is his own, and it is Cold because it has no meaning anymore.
