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

All About Me
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on and bore me please bore me tell me what you think
I cannot believe I got through a single day of my life
Without you
This all about me, this is not about you
This all about me, this is not about you
This all about me, this is not about you
Why every time I try
You never hear me, you only hear you
Why every time I try
I never get through
This all about me not you
This time it's all about me not you
Hey wait, I think I might have something to say
Hey wait, I think I might have something to add
Ain't it funny how when my opinion starts to spill, it falls on deaf ears
I pledge allegiance to myself
To me, myself and I
The lyrics of Drowning Pool's song "All About Me" seem to be about someone who is tired of always hearing about the other person and their opinions. The singer is asking the other person to "bore" them with more information about themselves, but at the same time, they are also telling them that they cannot believe they lived without them. The song seems to be taking a sarcastic tone, as the singer is almost mocking the other person for always talking about themselves and never listening to anyone else.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's frustration with always being ignored when they try to voice their opinion. "Why every time I try, you never hear me, you only hear you" shows how the other person is always focused on themselves and their own thoughts, rather than listening to others. The line "This all about me, this is not about you" is repeated multiple times in the chorus, emphasizing how the singer wants to be heard and acknowledged for once.
The bridge of the song is particularly striking, as the singer declares that they pledge allegiance to themselves. This line is powerful, as it shows how the singer is tired of always prioritizing others and putting themselves second. The song seems to be a call to action for the singer to start asserting themselves and value their own opinions more.
