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

Saturday Night
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna lick my wounds and eat my words
Better tell Revelations, the time is now
I use my dirty hands to dig the Devil out
All my life is, all these vices
Every day's another crisis
All my life is, all these vices
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
And sleep when I am dead and buried
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Sunday I will say I'm sorry
At the end of the road, at the end of the road
Will I open one night and bring it all home?
All my life is, all these vices
Every day's another crisis
All my life is, all these vices
Everyday (everyday) everyday (everyday) everyday!
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
And sleep when I am dead and buried
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Sunday I will say
All my life is, all these vices
Everyday (everyday) everyday (everyday) everyday!
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
And sleep when I am dead and buried
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'm gonna live my life (my life)
Sunday I will say I'm sorry
The lyrics to Drowning Pool's song "Saturday Night" depict a life of reckless abandon, where the singer lives for the moment, indulging in every vice. The opening lines suggest that the singer's life is a blur, and they must come to terms with their existence. The line "I use my dirty hands to dig the Devil out" could be interpreted as an attempt to rid oneself of their immoral tendencies. However, the lyrics seem to contradict this notion, as the singer continues to indulge in their vices.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm gonna live my life like it's Saturday night," which could be interpreted as a desire to live life to the fullest as if it were a never-ending weekend. The lyrics also suggest that the singer does not wish to apologize or take responsibility for their actions until Sunday rolls around. This line is repeated twice, emphasizing that the singer is not planning on changing their behavior anytime soon.
Overall, "Saturday Night" portrays a life of fun and carefree living, with little regard for morality or responsibility. The singer seems to relish in their reckless behavior, refusing to let anything stand in the way of their pursuit of pleasure.
Line by Line Meaning
At the end of the day, everything is a blur
The day has taken its toll on me and everything is hazy
I'm gonna lick my wounds and eat my words
I'll recover from the hurt and regret of the past
Better tell Revelations, the time is now
It's time to face the end and make a change
I use my dirty hands to dig the Devil out
I'll do everything it takes, even if it's dirty, to overcome temptation
I'm gonna live my life (my life) like it's Saturday night (Saturday night)
I'll enjoy life to the fullest, just like on a carefree Saturday night
And sleep when I am dead and buried
I'll rest when I'm gone from this world
Sunday I will say I'm sorry
I'll seek forgiveness for any mistakes or regrets on the sober day of Sunday
At the end of the road, at the end of the road, will I open one night and bring it all home?
When it's all said and done, will I find fulfillment and closure in one final night?
All my life is, all these vices, everyday (everyday) everyday (everyday) everyday!
My life is consumed by bad habits and everyday struggles

I have liked each incarnation of Drowning Pool over the years as lead singers come and go. Can't help wondering what the band might sound like now if Dave Williams had not died.
Justin Dixon

+Quentin W 2nd guy was a piece outside of singing. Ryan left to go back with soil, which kind of sucks but i love soil so..... Hopefully Jasen stays. chill guy. Met him years ago before drowing pool when he was with some band called suicide hook
Quentin W
Me too, But why do the lead singers keep changing?

I love Jasen so the band chose him for a reason. They see something in him and they did. He's a good guy, and a good singer. His screams are breath-taking live. I love his scream! Gave me chills in Anaheim.

It's interesting to notice how much they change their whole identity and sound with each new singer they get. Totally different band once again. Which by itself is not at all a negative thing. I admire bands that are able to redefine themselves with each step they take. The only downside to that, is that in my opinion at least, neither do they really effectively succeed to keep a personal element throughout their sound changes, nor keep a steady fanbase for that matter.

Personally I applaud DP for having the courage and balls to keep pushing the boundaries with their music. This song has an 80's feel to it with a modern groove... I like it... It's not as raw as their older stuff but who cares... I hope they make millions!!!! :D
Dominic Vasquez
Look, I'll come out and say it. I LIKE THIS SONG. I LIKE THE NEW SINGER. Look, i know it gets pretty annoying that drowning pool always gets new singers, but this guy has a pretty decent and convincing voice. Lyrically speaking, this isn't their strongest song they've made by any means, but this spreads a possitive message and their new album will surely catch on to long time fans and bring in some new fans for sure!

Ate q fim dps de 11 anos drowning pool vem com uma musica descente =D
