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

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no no
Our time is coming, our time is coming
Our time is coming oh by the way
I know you couldn't care less
Say your prayers with the surest breath
I know you couldn't care less
Here I am, a waste of space look at me
Apathetic, apathetic
Here I am a waste of space look at me
Apathetic!
I know Jesus is looking for me
But he don't know where to go oh
The things I've done, what I've become
I camouflaged my soul
I know you couldn't care less
Say your prayers with the surest breath
I know you couldn't care less
You ruin my life, now ruin my death
Here I am, a waste of space look at me
Apathetic, apathetic
Here I am a waste of space look at me
Apathetic!
I don't care or I just don't know
Hallelujah! The truth is on fire
Let the motherfucker burn hallelujah!
C'mon
I don't care or I just don't know
Hallelujah! The truth is on fire
Let the motherfucker burn hallelujah!
C'mon
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Apathetic!
I know you couldn't care less
Say your prayers with the surest breath
I know you couldn't care less
You ruin my life, now ruin my death
Here I am, a waste of space look at me
Apathetic, apathetic
Here I am a waste of space look at me
Apathetic!
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Apathetic, apathetic
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Apathetic!
The lyrics to Drowning Pool's song "Apathetic" convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the world. The opening lines suggest a disregard for the news, implying a detachment from the happenings around them. The repeated phrase "Our time is coming" could be interpreted as a sarcastic or ironic statement, implying a lack of faith in any positive change or progress. The singer feels unnoticed and insignificant, describing themselves as a "waste of space" and expressing a sense of apathy towards their own existence.
The mention of Jesus and the idea that he is looking for them suggests a search for meaning or redemption, but the singer feels lost and unsure of where to go. They feel trapped and burdened by the actions they have taken, symbolized by the line "I camouflaged my soul." The repetition of the phrase "I know you couldn't care less" highlights the singer's perception that others are indifferent to their struggles and pain.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Here I am, a waste of space," emphasizes the feeling of being overlooked and unimportant. The lyrics express a desire to be seen and acknowledged, even if it is in a negative context. The defiance in the final lines, exclaiming "Let the motherfucker burn, hallelujah!" suggests a rebellious attitude towards the world that has made them feel apathetic.
Overall, "Apathetic" seems to be a commentary on feeling disconnected from the world and others, and the frustration and resignation that can result from such an emotional state.

I didn't need to read the news today
I didn't have to update myself with the current events and headlines today
Our time is coming, our time is coming
The moment of our fate and destiny is approaching
Oh by the way
By the way, just a small addition
I know you couldn't care less
I am aware that you have absolutely no interest or concern
Say your prayers with the surest breath
Recite your prayers with unwavering conviction
You ruin my life, now ruin my death
You have already destroyed my life, now even my death is at your mercy
Here I am, a waste of space look at me
I exist here, occupying a useless void, observe me
Apathetic, apathetic
Lacking any interest or emotion, completely indifferent
I know Jesus is looking for me
I am aware that Jesus is searching for me
But he don't know where to go oh
However, he is uncertain of where to seek me
The things I've done, what I've become
The actions I have performed, the person I have transformed into
I camouflaged my soul
I have concealed and masked my true essence
I don't care or I just don't know
I either possess complete indifference or pure ignorance
Hallelujah! The truth is on fire
Praise the Lord! The genuine reality is ablaze with intensity
Let the motherfucker burn hallelujah!
Allow the bastard to be consumed by the fire, hallelujah!
C'mon
Come on, let's go
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Pay attention to me, observe me, direct your gaze towards me
