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

Shame
Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I burn, I burn
My tongue rhymes one thing, for eager ears to hold on to
You know I'll lie again
You know I'll try again
My words, ripping, tearing, straight through you
[Chorus]
I, I've got no time for you and I will, I will, I will shame you, shame you
I burn, I burn
Let me touch you, let me get inside you
All I feel, I can make it feel all so real
You know I'll lie again
You know I'll try again
My words, ripping, tearing, straight through you
[Chorus]
No, don't you speak my name
Don't you speak my name, I'm pain
(Don't you speak my name, don't you speak my name)
I, I turn my back on you and I will, I will shame you, shame you
And I, won't hold against you if you never, never, never speak my name again
[Chorus]
Don't you speak my name, I will shame you, shame you
The lyrics to Drowning Pool's song "Shame" describe a manipulative individual who uses their words to control and harm others. The line "My words, ripping, tearing, straight through you" suggests the singer's intention to hurt those around them through their speech. The chorus contains lines such as "I turn my back on you" and "I've got no time for you," conveying a sense of superiority and disdain for others. The repeated use of the phrase "shame you" reinforces the idea that the singer takes pleasure in causing pain to others and wants them to feel ashamed.
The second verse contains more explicit language and appears to be about sexual desire, further highlighting the singer's predatory nature. Lines like "Let me touch you, let me get inside you" and "All I feel, I can make it feel all so real" suggest the singer's desire to manipulate and control others for their own gratification. The final lines "Don't you speak my name, I will shame you" reinforce the idea that the singer wants to silence those around them and maintain their power.
Overall, the lyrics to "Shame" suggest a person who enjoys causing pain and manipulating others for their own benefit. The repeated use of the phrase "shame you" highlights the desire to humiliate and control others, and the sexual imagery in the second verse reinforces the singer's predatory nature.

God i love Ryan MCcombs his voice is amazing he sounds so much like Layne Stayley from Alice in Chains, he's a true sweetheart and pays tribute to Dave at every DP concert, Dave has been dead now for 7 yrs and people still argue about who is better they both had different styles and ranges. If Dave was still alive and RYan was still with Soil people couldnt argue over who is better. Obviously Ryan is a good fit helping the band stay alive
@anonymousfx5254
And now he's back into DP!! Finally we'll hear some good vocal from them again
@GSEagle85
This song & 'Paralyzed' are my fav on this album, its heavy but its smooth
@NOCDIB
The only shame is that this video has less than 200k views almost a decade later.
@livingdeadgirl2k
What an awesome song!
@DEL16R
Metalhead Girl yes
@sweetlynsane1

@XXXJacka1XXX
Ryan McCombs ROCKS! Awsome song, Dave would be proud of Ryan! DP 4 life
@lisaadams3283
What's old is new again!! Great tune!!🎸🎸🎸🙌🙌✌️✌️✌️
@cbomb60
Ryan's Drowning Pool songs were all so relaxing for some reason, even though he sings exactly as he does in SOiL - and SOiL manages to absolutely mash it up live
Must be production or something
