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

More Than Worthless
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And perhaps, two steps left
Please God, don't make me feel anymore
Anymore...
What did you save for me?
What did you pay for?
I am more than this - I am more than worthless
I can't understand this mess
I am more than this - I am more than worthless
I want more - I need more
I'm worth more - More than worthless
More than worthless
More than worthless
Can't feel the empty glass in my hand
Or taste the bitter wine upon my lips
Please God, don't make me love anymore
Anymore... No more... No...
What did you save for me?
Yeah, what did you pay for?
I can't understand this mess
I am more than this - I am more than worthless
I can't understand this mess
I am more than this - I am more than worthless
I want more - I need more
I'm worth more - More than worthless
Well, I want you to know
Well, I need you to know
That I'll be right here, right here
Well, I want you to feel everything is real
What I feel is still real
I can't understand this mess
I am more than this - I am more than worthless
I can't understand this mess
I am more than this
I am more than this, worthless
I want more - I need more
I'm worth more - More than worthless
I'm down to one last cigarette
And perhaps, no time left
The lyrics to Drowning Pool's song "More Than Worthless" describe a feeling of disorientation and confusion about one's own worth. The singer is down to their last cigarette and only has a few steps left, indicating a feeling of exhaustion and hopelessness. They address God, asking not to feel anymore, suggesting a sense of overwhelming emotional pain.
The repeated questions, "What did you save for me? What did you pay for?" can be interpreted as the singer questioning their own purpose or existence, and questioning whether anything in life is truly worth it. The line, "I can't understand this mess" speaks to a general sense of confusion and being lost.
However, in spite of these feelings, the singer asserts their own inherent value, stating that they are "more than worthless" and expressing the desire for more in their life. The conclusion of the song emphasizes the singer's determination to keep going, to remain present, and to experience and express the real emotions they feel.
Overall, the song portrays the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, and the search for self-worth in the face of overwhelming emotional pain and confusion.

The lyrics poetically struck a chord in me. God has blessed me immensely, I've taken opportunities for granted and slapped God in His face repeatedly - foolish pride. Head-on car crash 7 months ago that I never should've survived. My spirit is utterly shattered - no one had the right to burden others! That's all I'm physically capably of (& financially). I SHOULD HAVE DIED in October!! With all of my heart, intelligence, abilities, I've been reduced to a worthless element denied social disabili
