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

Reborn
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hands raised full of sin, this is where the story began
As my halo, I'm scarred by where I've been
This ain't over, till it's over
This ain't over, till it's over, yeah
The hell I've been through, I saw my face in the bottom of a bottle
The hell I've gone through, to be reborn, reborn, again
The hell I've been through, shot down, ran through, dragged through
The hell I've gone through, to be reborn, reborn, again, again
Tear away, redefine
Bring me down, this life
Take what's wrong and make it right
Crucified every time I tried
This ain't over, roll me over
This ain't over, till it's, till it's over
[Chorus]
This love, this hate, this game
Don't want to remember
Made numb, mute, unreal
I can't forget, I can't forget
No, I won't, I can't forget
Yeah, good god damn
[Chorus]
Reborn, reborn, yeah I'm reborn again
I won't forget, no
The opening lines of the song “Reborn” by Drowning Pool are full of self-reflection and striking imagery. It starts with the image of someone raising their hands as if in surrender, but instead of surrendering to an external authority, they are surrendering to their own inner demons. This is where the singer’s story begins to take shape. The next line paints a picture of a person with a scarred halo, someone who has been through so much that they are no longer the same person they used to be. The scars on their halo indicate that they have not come out of their experiences unscathed.
As the chorus kicks in, the singer of the band repeats the mantra that “this ain’t over till it’s over.” It’s a message to never give up even when the odds seem to be stacked against you. The chorus also talks about the hell that the singer has been through – seeing their own face at the bottom of a bottle, being shot down, and dragged through the mud. However, despite everything they’ve gone through, they have been reborn, and they will continue to be reborn every time they get knocked down.
The verses that follow continue the message of the need to tear away from your old self and redefine yourself. The singer talks about the struggle to take what’s wrong in your life and make it right, but ultimately, despite being crucified every time they tried, they have not given up. The last verse talks about the love, the hate, and the game that the singer has been through. They don’t want to remember, they’ve been made numb and mute, but they can’t forget. The song ends with a defiant scream that they won’t forget even as they emerge reborn, ready to face the world once again.

Hands raised full of sin, this is where the story began
Starting in a dark place, marked by guilt and regret
As my halo, I'm scarred by where I've been
Despite my desire to be better, my past wrongdoings continue to haunt me
This ain't over, till it's over
I won't give up until I'm victorious
This ain't over, till it's over, yeah
I'm determined to fight until the end
The hell I've been through, I saw my face in the bottom of a bottle
I've experienced immense pain, to the point where I turned to alcohol to cope
The hell I've gone through, to be reborn, reborn, again
Despite my past, I've found a way to start anew and rise again
Take what's wrong and make it right
I'm striving to correct my mistakes and turn them into something positive
This ain't over, roll me over
I'm willing to overcome any obstacle, no matter how difficult
Crucified every time I tried
I've faced harsh judgement and criticism for my attempts to better myself
This love, this hate, this game, Don't want to remember
I've experienced a lot of ups and downs in life, and I don't want to dwell on the negative
Made numb, mute, unreal, I can't forget, I can't forget
The trauma and pain I've experienced have affected me deeply, and I can't erase them from my memory
Reborn, reborn, yeah I'm reborn again
Through my struggles, I've found a way to start anew and become a better person
I won't forget, no
I won't forget the lessons I've learned and the person I've become

I’m way late to the party on this song. I’ve always liked Drowning Pool, but not like a fanatic or anything. Liked their radio shit, and that was about where it ended. But I recently gave this album a spin and REALLY like it. And I absolutely LOVE this song. This coulda been a hell of a single if they tweaked a few things. It kinda has an Alice In Chains vibe to it. 🤘🤘
Nothing Left
This song saved me back when it came out I was at a new all time low and it actually saved me love music
BAN EVERYTHING!
3 Doors Down first album The Better Life did the same for me. I was able to let them know and chat with them online too.
