--==--
2) - Drain were an American noise rock band formed in Austin, Texas by King Coffey (drummer for the Butthole Surfers) in 1992. The group also included David McCreath on guitar and bassist Owen McMahon. Along with the psychedelic leanings of Coffey's other band the Butthole Surfers, Drain also ventures into electronic and techno music territory. Also, samplers and drum machines play a stronger role in the music.
3) - Drain is a metallic crust band from Maine, made up of Patrick Hasson (Auspicium, Avulse, Field of Spears, Wholy Failure) and Jake Newcomb (The Doldrums, Dreambox).
5) - Originally called Drain, the all-female hard rock/heavy metal band Drain S.T.H. was formed in 1993 in Stockholm, Sweden (hence the S.T.H., added to avoid confusion with a similarly named American band), and featured singer Maria Sjöholm, guitarist Flavia Canel, bassist Anna Kjellberg, and drummer/vocalist Martina Axén. Displaying an unabashed worship of Alice in Chains, their independent 1996 debut, Horror Wrestling, was dominated by uncompromising grinds of slow, down-tuned guitars, which were then topped with Sjöholm and Axén’s beautifully chilling vocal harmonies. Coupled with the band’s impressive live performances and supermodel looks, this soon drew the attention of Mercury Records subsidiary The Enclave, which repackaged and re-released the album worldwide two years later with an additional three tracks (including a quarter-speed remake of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades”). The far more accessible follow-up, 1999’s Freaks of Nature, managed to shed much of the band’s excessive Alice in Chains influences of old and flirted with traces of programmed percussion and even rap, thereby forging a more distinctive sonic identity. (Track 3 “Simon Say’s” is produced by old friend Max Martin, probably more well known as producer of, among others, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears…)
But despite extensive touring both in Europe and America (including a lengthy jaunt with that year’s Ozzfest) and attaining decent radio airplay in support, Drain S.T.H. never managed to break out of the metal underground, perhaps because they were simply too drop-dead gorgeous to be taken seriously by the notoriously chauvinistic metal masses. A major restructuring at Mercury Records later that year spelled the final disaster for Drain S.T.H., who were dropped in early 2000 and subsequently decided to call it a day. Following the group’s breakup, singer Sjöholm became Mrs. Iommi (Black Sabbath, Iommi), amazingly enough, while the remaining members went off in seperate directions. Martina Axén has now replaced Tobey Torres as vocalist for Snake River Conspiracy, while Flavia Canel now plays bass for Blowsight. (www.blowsight.com)

Can
Tell
The
Story
About fearsome occurrences
In our own lives
Here's what I want to bury
All of your villainous lies
Forever is over and
The past has passed
My way to nowhere and
I've been outcast
Forever is over and
The past has passed
My way to nowhere
And
I've
Been
Outcast
First breath
Last swallow
This is your gallows
You are
So
Hollow
I've passed all sorrows
First breath
Last swallow
This is your gallows
You are
So
Hollow
I've passed all sorrows
And i would never thought
That your extinction
Is the pleasure
Of
My
Life
Exquisite strife
If you're invaluable
Then you are just a
Fucking naught
You
Are
Fucking
Naught
You're fucking naught
Let yourself decay
I won't beg you to stay
For a moment till
My consciousness drains away
I won't play your game
So forget my name
May the bridges I
Burn will light my way
Let yourself decay
I won't beg you to stay
For a moment till
My consciousness drains away
I won't play your game
So forget my name
May the bridges I
Burn will light my way
The song "Someone" by Drain is about overcoming toxic relationships and moving on from the pain they caused. The opening lines of the song emphasize the power of eyes to reveal the trauma and fear we experience in our lives, but the songwriter wants to bury the lies and move on from the past. The chorus repeats the phrase "forever is over and the past has passed," emphasizing the need to let go of the pain and trauma to move forward with life. The persona has been cast out and made to feel worthless, but they refuse to let the other person's actions define them. They acknowledge the hurtful actions of the other person, but they have chosen to leave that behind and move towards a better future.
The second verse is about realizing the insignificance and hollowness of the other person. They are nothing but a "fucking naught," and the persona finds pleasure in their eventual extinction. The third verse emphasizes the indifference the persona has towards the other person's presence in their life. They refuse to beg them to stay and won't play their manipulative games. The persona is determined to move on and let the bridges they burn light their way towards a brighter future.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are about overcoming pain and trauma caused by toxic people and moving towards a better, brighter future.
