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

Drowning Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will hold a place for you
Do you rememeber when we used to
Do you rememeber when you used to
Do you remember life
Well, as you're led out to the slaughter
You ought to
Think about your life you wouldn't give it up
Before you're led off to the slaughter
You ought to
And just as soon as you will find
That all of this became your life
Do you remember when we used to
Do you remember when you used to
Do you remember life
Before you're led off to the slaughter
You ought to
And just as soon as all of this so
All of this so pure
Do you ever stop
Fucking think
The lyrics to Drowning Pool's song "Think" are emotionally charged and thought-provoking. The opening lines, "And just before you fade out to, I will hold a place for you" suggest that the singer is addressing a person who is about to die or pass away, possibly due to illness or old age. The lyrics then turn to reminiscing about their past and remembering the good times they shared, asking if they remember life. The singer then warns the listener that they are about to be led off to the slaughter, and that they should think about their life and not give it up easily. They urge the listener to remember the moments that made life worth living.
The line "And just as soon as you will find that all of this became your life" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the listener may not have fully appreciated their life until it was too late. The repetition of the plea to think about their life before being led off to the slaughter reinforces the urgency and seriousness of this message.
The song is a powerful reminder to live life to the fullest and appreciate every moment, as it could all be gone in an instant.

And just before you fade out to
Right before you lose consciousness or die
I will hold a place for you
I will remember you and keep you in my memory
Do you rememeber when we used to
Do you recall the memories we shared when we were younger
Do you rememeber when you used to
Do you recall the time when you were still alive
Do you remember life
Remember the joyous moments life can bring
Well, as you're led out to the slaughter
As you're heading towards your inevitable death
You ought to
You should
Think about your life you wouldn't give it up
Contemplate how valuable your life is and how you wouldn't want to lose it
Before you're led off to the slaughter
Before you're taken away to be killed
And just as soon as you will find
As soon as you realize
That all of this became your life
That everything you've experienced has made up your life
Before you're led off to the slaughter
Before you're taken away to be killed
You ought to
You should
And just as soon as all of this so
As soon as everything becomes so
All of this so pure
All the memories and experiences that were once pure and innocent
Do you ever stop
Do you ever take a moment to pause
Fucking think
To really consider and reflect on your own life
