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

Forget
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you're here tonight
Lookin' for that something sacred you'll never find
You know there must be some way
To wash away the pain
Just like you did your faith
Forget
Forget the pain you keep in side
And before we all regress
To this emptiness
And crawl across the floor Once more
Scraping our hands and knees
I know that all of us must feel this way
The lyrics to Drowning Pool's song Forget are deep and melancholic, expressing the struggle of internal pain and the constant search for solace in something that may never be found. The beginning of the song starts off with a sense of understanding, as the singer sees the pain in someone's eyes, acknowledging the hardships they may be experiencing. The line "Lookin' for that something sacred you'll never find" shows the eternal feeling of searching for something that may not even exist, and the constant disappointment that ensues.
The second verse of the song reveals more about the pain that the singer may be feeling as well, as they express the need for a way to wash it away, but acknowledging that they have already lost their faith, implying that a higher power may not offer the relief they need. The chorus of the song then offers a solution of sorts, telling the person to forget the fear and pain they try to hide.
The final verse of the song offers a building sense of urgency, as the singer pleads with the listener to not regress back to the emptiness and pain that they are trying to escape from, "crawling across the floor once more, scraping our hands and knees". The final line of the song, "I know that all of us must feel this way", shows a sense of solidarity in the struggle for searching for something to comfort and heal us.

I can see it your eyes
I can tell from the look in your eyes
Why you're here tonight
Why you came here tonight
Lookin' for that something sacred you'll never find
Searching for a meaningful purpose you'll never discover
You know there must be some way
You believe there's a way out
To wash away the pain
To get rid of the emotional suffering
Just like you did your faith
Similar to how you lost your faith
Forget
Forget all of it
Forget the fear you try to hide
Forget the fear that you conceal
Forget the pain you keep in side
Forget the pain that you internally hold
And before we all regress
Before we all fall back
To this emptiness
To this void
And crawl across the floor Once more
And painfully drag ourselves on the floor again
Scraping our hands and knees
Harming our hands and legs
I know that all of us must feel this way
I understand that we all experience these emotions

I remember listening to this song a lot as a kid back in 2009, there hasn't been to many rock bands that have come close to Drowning Pool imo I guess it's due to my nostalgia towards it
