From their inception in late 2003, the band's energetic live performances earned them a hardcore fanbase after playing for only a few months on the Manchester music scene. In 2004 the band were signed to Island records and spent the year touring the UK and recording their first studio album with producer Rob Schnapf in Los Angeles. In 2005 Nine Black Alps toured the UK extensively, promoting the release of their debut album, Everything Is on 13th June 2005. Their first U.S. single was Cosmopolitan; their album Everything Is was released in America on February 28, 2006. The band's second album, again recorded in LA with producer Dave Sardy Love/Hate, was released on 29 October 2007 and heralded a split with Island Records shortly thereafter. However, Nine Black Alps went on to self-finance and record their third full-length album with producer Dave Eringa, entitled 'Locked Out from the Inside'. Only available as a download from the band's own website - http://www.nineblackalps.com, the album was a return to the louder, heavier sounds of the first record. Nine Black Alps, after a hiatus of almost 2 years, have been back in the studio as a 3-piece recording tracks for a fourth album, with a possible release in 2012.

Well if I wasn't alone,
pick me out,
try to tell me something.
Where the bodies come,
it's hit and run,
but you keep on talking.
And it's all in the way that you say it,
yes it's all in the way that you try to reason how we got you here.
Showbiz more but tell me honestly,
can't you see your just coldhearted?
Now we've found you out,
put you down,
i see what you're thinking.
Still it's coming out,
i'm around,
i'll be wanting a sinking.
And it's all in the way that you say it,
yes it's all in the way that you try to reason how we got you here.
Showbiz more but tell me honestly,
can't you see you're just coldhearted?
Try to reason how we got you here,
showbiz more but tell me honestly,
can't you see your just coldhearted?
The lyrics to Nine Black Alps's song "Coldhearted" suggest a confrontational situation where the singer is trying to make sense of someone's behavior. The first stanza suggests that the singer is with someone who isn't alone, but they still don't feel heard or understood by that person. They ask the person to "pick [them] out" and "try to tell [them] something," perhaps indicating a desire for more direct communication.
The second stanza references "where the bodies come" and "hit and run," which could indicate a situation involving violence or other harmful behavior. The singer seems frustrated that the other person keeps talking without taking responsibility for what they've done. The hook of the song, "all in the way that you say it," highlights the importance of communication and how it can affect the singer's perception of the other person's actions.
The final stanza suggests that the truth has come out about what the other person has done, and the singer is still around to confront them. The repetition of the hook emphasizes the importance of the other person being honest and seeing themselves as "just coldhearted."
Well if I wasn't alone,
If I had company,
pick me out,
I would be a part of a group.
try to tell me something.
Someone would communicate with me.
Where the bodies come,
In a place where there are casualties,
it's hit and run,
a situation where people leave after causing harm
but you keep on talking.
a person that continues to speak despite the situation
And it's all in the way that you say it,
The message conveyed is prone to interpretation based on the delivery.
yes it's all in the way that you try to reason how we got you here.
The explanation for a particular situation can be subjective based on the person's viewpoint.
Showbiz more but tell me honestly,
More drama and less honesty in behavior is not acceptable.
can't you see your just coldhearted?
A person that lacks empathy and concern for others.
Now we've found you out,
The person's true nature is exposed.
put you down,
To lower their self-worth and reputation.
i see what you're thinking.
I understand what is going on in your mind.
Still it's coming out,
the true intentions are being manifested
i'm around,
I am present,
i'll be wanting a sinking.
I am expecting or waiting for their downfall.
Try to reason how we got you here,
An attempt to understand the cause and effect.
showbiz more but tell me honestly,
attention-seeking behavior but with sincerity.
can't you see you're just coldhearted?
A heartless person needs to acknowledge their lack of compassion.
