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 ↴
You give up and ? you through
Don't let em take it away from you
Away from you, away from you.
What's wrong with this world today
Don't get it, ? admit it.
We let em take every day for free
You're the light, break the pads,
Take this back. Before will erase.
White lights, who'll be told
when they pass out the blindfolds
We're out of pace, out of time
But the lucky ones are see first light
Show show show, show show show.
What's wrong with anxiety
Don't get it, ? admit it,
Stand up for what you believe
Don't get it, ? admit it,
You're the ? break the pace ? the face.
White lights, who'll be told
when they pass out the blindfolds
We're out of pace, out of time
But the lucky ones are see first light
Freedom will ? so pass out the black walls
But out of place, out of time,
But the lucky ones are see first light
Don't let em take the freedom away
You wanna give what they take every day.
Don't let em take the freedom away
You wanna give what they take every day.
I pray for you, generation without a clue
I'll pray for you
Generation without a clue
White lights, who'll be told
when they pass out the blindfolds
We're out of pace, out of time
But the lucky ones are see first light
Show show show, show show show.
The lyrics of Drowning Pool's song "Blindfold" convey a message of resistance against the forces that seek to control and manipulate people. The repeated refrain "Don't let em take it away from you" is a call to action, urging the listener to stand firm in the face of oppression and not give up their autonomy. The verses highlight the disconnect between the reality of the world and people's perceptions of it, and the need to take a stand and fight for what you believe in. The line "We let em take every day for free" is a pointed criticism of the tendency to accept the status quo without questioning it.
The chorus of the song talks about a world where people are blindfolded, unable to see what's going on around them. The verse "White lights, who'll be told when they pass out the blindfolds" suggests that those in power are the ones with access to information and the ability to remove people's blindfolds and reveal the truth. The use of the phrase "lucky ones" implies that only a privileged few are able to see the world as it really is, while the rest are kept in the dark. The song ultimately encourages listeners to stand up and fight for freedom, to not let others take it away from them, and to work towards creating a world where everyone has access to the truth.

Don't let 'em take it away from you
You give up an inch and you do
Don't let 'em take it away from you
Away from you, away from you!
What's wrong with this world today?
Don't get it. Pathetic. Admit it
We let 'em take everything for free
Don't get it. Pathetic. Admit it
Tow the line, break the pace
Take this back before we're erased
What lies will be told
When they pass out the blindfolds
We're out of place, out of time
When the lucky ones all see first light
Shout shout shout
Shout shout shout
What's wrong with society?
Don't get it. Pathetic. Admit it
Stand up for what you believe
Don't get it. Pathetic. Admit it
Tow the line, break the pace
Knock the smile right off that face
What lies will be told
When they pass out the blindfolds
We're out of place, out of time
When the lucky ones all die heroes
Freedom will be sold
So pass out the blindfolds
We're out of place, out of time
When the lucky ones all see first light
Don't let 'em take your freedom away
You wanna give but they take everything
