Band founder Antonio Calanna (vocals) states: "'Waking Up' displays the moment when A COLD PARADISE truly opened its eyes. It's a song about leaving the past behind, stepping out of the shadows, and finally chasing the rock'n'roll dreams we've been carrying for years. In a world full of monsters - and especially in the metal scene - we have to face, this track is our first real step forward. A huge thank you to Tim Kanoa Hansen and Dominik Gusch, whose talent helped brought this song to life."
In addition, A COLD PARADISE will bring their powerful new material to the stage for the first time during their "Weekend Paradise" headline tour in spring 2026. The band will perform in Milan (March 6th), Villingen-Schwenningen (March 7th) and Mannheim (March 8th), showcasing their evolving artistic identity and offering audiences an exclusive preview of their forthcoming album. This will be the very first opportunity to experience A COLD PARADISE live - these events are not to be missed; tickets on-sale from December 15th at http://www.ursulaz.com/weekendparadise

Lyrics:
I woke up this morning
But I didn't feel so blessed
So many bad things I have done
But there is no regret
I wash my face and the mirror shows
That these lines on my face are stories
Of what I lost, and never care about
Just because of a little glory
And now I'm stuck here, no sleep and no rest
It's like insomnia and it's driving me mad
Monster, out of my head!
No happy faces, place or romance
Monster, forgive and forget
No one can get me out of this maze
My phone is ringing, but I won't pick up
Who wants a piece of my fake heaven?
Coffee is ready and written on my cup
"You have to work, WORK, 24/7!"
And now I'm stuck here, no sleep and no rest
It's like insomnia and it's driving me mad
Monster, out of my head!
No happy faces, place or romance
Monster, forgive and forget
No one can get me out of this maze
I really need somebody, somebody like you are
We'll drive together through the night to reach another fake star, to reach another fake star!
Monster, out of my head!
No happy faces, place or romance
Monster, forgive and forget
No one can get me out of this maze
Monster, out of my head!
No happy faces, place or romance
Monster, forgive and forget
No one can get me out of this maze
Out of this maze, out of this maze!
