1. Drowning Pool is a heavy metal/nu metal band from Dallas, Texas formed in 1997 that rose to prominence while playing along with Ozzy Osbourne during Ozzfest. Their 2001 debut album, Sinner, was certified platinum within six months and the video for its first single "Bodies" was frequently aired on various music video channels. After the September 11th attacks the song "Bodies" was infrequently heard on many radio stations due to the sensitivity of those families' loved ones who jumped from the towers. In August 2002 the lead singer of the band, Dave Williams, died in his tour bus of heart failure.
After Williams' death, the band decided to carry on and began searching for a new singer.
In 2003, the band found a new singer in Jason Jones who took place of Dave Williams in the wake of his death. They released the album Desensitized in 2004.
Jason's departure from Drowning Pool was publically announced on June 14, 2005, due to irreconcilable differences. Jones would later join the hard rock band A.M. Conspiracy. Almost immediately, rumours started swirling concerning the new singer's identity, most of them pointing to former SOiL singer Ryan McCombs. Drowning Pool announced that the singer would be formally announced August 25 at the Ozzfest date in Dallas, Texas, where Drowning Pool will do a one off performance on the main stage. On July 20th, website SMNNews received word from close sources that McCombs was indeed the new singer, and that fact was confirmed by McCombs and Drowning Pool alike the next week.
In spring of 2006, Drowning Pool announced that they had parted ways with Wind-Up Records. As of June 30th, Wind-Up's website has been updated to confirm this.
In October 2006, a new song called No More was announced to be released on the Saw III soundtrack, their first track (besides the second version of Rise Up) with Ryan McCombs on vocals.
On February 26, 2007, it was announced that the band has signed a new deal with Eleven Seven Music, after receiving offers from Century Media and Sanctuary Records.[1] It was also confirmed that Drowning Pool will have a new management company, Tenth Street Entertainment, following the group's departure with Paul Bassman of Bass Management.
The band's newest album is, "Full Circle" and was released on July 24th, 2007 nationwide. 2 songs on the album were being produced by Funny Farm Records, owned by Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx and former Beautiful Creatures guitarist DJ Ashba. The remaining tracks have been recorded with Producer Ben Schigel at the Dallas based January Studios.
In January 2008, the band announced that they would be heading out on a North American tour as special guests of Saliva.
The band is currently set to release their newest, self-titled studio album on April 27th 2010 featuring their newest single "Feel Like I Do".
In 2011 Ryan McCombs and Drowning Pool has part ways. Ryan has become the permanent vocalist for SOiL once again.
In 2012 Drowning Pool has announced that new vocalist is Suicide Hook singer Jasen Moreno.
After parting ways with former singer Ryan McCombs, Drowning Pool recruited Moreno to go on the road with them. He made his live debut with the band on July 8 at a show in Ardmore, Okla.
Drowning Pool’s have teamed up with producer Kato Khandwalla for their fifth studio album, the first to feature Moreno. The disc is due out in early 2013.
In 2023 McCombs returned and replaced Moreno as vocalist

Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've never thought I'd see the day
Can't be wrong 'cause I know the score
And I guess there is no other way
Reminded of you
Reminded
And it looks like that's the way it goes
Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
'Cause by now I'm sure that I know
Never felt so undecided
Everything I've ever had has been taken away
Little boy so scared and frightened
All of the things that have happened
I'm surely to blame
Accept your fate then you'll be well
But the truth is that it never ends
You can say that you've been through hell
But you'll always lose another friend
Never felt so unimportant
Everything I've ever said has been taken in vain
Little girl so scared and frightened
All of the things that I do are still
Subject to change
In this song, Drowning Pool captures the feeling of being lost and alone, struggling to understand one's place in the world. The first verse describes a sense of familiarity with this feeling, as the singer has been "down too long" before. However, there is a sense of surprise that comes with feeling this way again, as if the singer had convinced themselves that they were beyond such struggles. The second verse talks about a feeling of resignation, as if the singer has accepted their fate and the experiences that come with it. In the chorus, the singer is reminded of someone, possibly a former lover, whose memory haunts them like a ghost.
The lyrics highlight the problem of feeling lost and unsure of oneself. The lines, "Never felt so undecided / Everything I've ever had has been taken away / Little boy so scared and frightened / All of the things that have happened / I'm surely to blame," convey a sense of guilt and blame for the singer's problems. This guilt is compounded by the realization that they are "reminded" of someone who they have lost, as if the memory of that person is a symbol of their failure. The second chorus reinforces this feeling of inadequacy, as the singer feels "unimportant" and unsure of their place in the world.
Overall, "Reminded" is a powerful song that speaks to the struggles of the human experience. It captures the feeling of being lost and alone, struggling to understand one's place in the world. The lyrics are powerful and emotive, conveyed through the band's heavy and aggressive sound.

Down too long like I was before
I have been in a bad situation for a long time
And I've never thought I'd see the day
I did not expect things to change
Can't be wrong 'cause I know the score
I know what's right and wrong
And I guess there is no other way
I have no other option
Reminded of you
You always come to mind
Reminded
I am constantly reminded
There it is all in black and white
The reality is clear
And it looks like that's the way it goes
It seems like there's no other outcome
Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
It's not important if it's right or wrong
'Cause by now I'm sure that I know
I am certain about it by now
Never felt so undecided
I've never been so unsure
Everything I've ever had has been taken away
I have lost everything I had
Little boy so scared and frightened
I am scared and frightened
All of the things that have happened
All of the things that happened to me
I'm surely to blame
I am responsible for what happened
Accept your fate then you'll be well
Accept what life has in store for you and you'll be okay
But the truth is that it never ends
The reality is that it does not stop
You can say that you've been through hell
You can claim to have suffered immensely
But you'll always lose another friend
You will continue to lose people close to you
Never felt so unimportant
I feel like I don't matter
Everything I've ever said has been taken in vain
My words have been ignored
Little girl so scared and frightened
I am scared and frightened like a little girl
All of the things that I do are still
Everything I do remains subject to change
Subject to change
Everything is subject to change
