2. P.A.I.N short for: Propaganda And Information Network. Sort your tags to -> P.A.I.N
Established in 1995, The Propaganda And Information Network (as P.A.I.N is officially named) was first put together from the ashes of two seminal free festival bands: AOS3 and Radical Dance Faction. Brought together to carry on the same Anarcho-style rantings, but with a much harder, Punk Rock attitude to it (less toking and more drinking!) within the first 7 days of forming P.A.I.N managed to book up a 3 week tour, literally writing the set in soundchecks.
The band went from strength to strength releasing their first live demo (Prison’s no Place for Punishment – a real collector’s item these days,) within their first month of existence. Well that was 11 years ago. Since then P.A.I.N. have released 2 studio albums, 2 cd singles and a couple of live albums, and are currently working on a new studio album and a P.A.I.N. in Dub album.
There are a few gigs springing up around the country and more tours coming up in a couple of weeks so things are going great guns at the moment. “Sharpen your cutlasses boys, theres a mighty stormy sea ahead!!”
Members of P.A.I.N can also be found in less (London, England), SUICIDE BID, LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCHORD, RUBELLA BALLET and ERIS.

P.A.I.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rip my head apart
Slow, breath out, sit down and think of what you've found out
How it sounds, if there's doubt, if you can't explain it
It's not mine to decide, I guess I'll just accept you're right and I'll fight
For this side
Till I lose my will again
Seductive voices of the dead
Would you hear me better if my voice was only in your head?
Seductive voices of the dead
Their words bare more weight than the rest
Would you hear me better if my voice was only in your head?
You rescind the weight of kingdoms you build on ruins freshly leveled
So the roots can grow again
You rescind the weight of kingdoms you built on ruins freshly leveled
So the roots can grow again
And feel the sun again
What was left and what it means
Just slashing through this make believe
The song "Nightmare" by P.A.I.N. is a powerful and emotional expression of the internal struggles that we face when trying to reconcile our own beliefs with those of others. The lyrics suggest a feeling of being torn apart between accepting another's point of view and fighting for what one believes to be true. The singer is willing to accept other's views as long as they are not imposed upon them, but ultimately they will fight for their own beliefs.
The chorus "Seductive voices of the dead, their words bares more weight than the rest, would you hear me better if my voice was only in your head?" represents the power of influential people who are no longer alive but their words are still able to impact the living. The lyricist seems to be suggesting that it is easier to understand and accept the words of this influential group if we can internalize them ourselves. The line "You rescind the weight of kingdoms you built on ruins freshly leveled, so the roots can grow again and feel the sun again" may be referring to the destruction of old beliefs and dogmas in order to pave the way for new growth and wisdom.
Overall, the song is a reflection on our own beliefs and the struggle to balance them with those of society. It highlights the importance of staying true to oneself while also being open to the perspectives of others.

Spill my heart
I'm being open and honest with you
Rip my head apart
I'm being vulnerable and putting myself at your mercy
Slow, breath out, sit down and think of what you've found out
Take a deep breath and reflect on the situation before making any decisions
How it sounds, if there's doubt, if you can't explain it
Consider how things are being perceived and if there's any uncertainty or lack of clarity
It's not mine to decide, I guess I'll just accept you're right and I'll fight
I may not have control over the outcome, but I'll still stand by my beliefs
For this side
For the cause that I believe in
Till I lose my will again
Until I become exhausted and unable to continue fighting
Seductive voices of the dead
The tempting allure of past experiences or nostalgic memories
Their words bare more weight than the rest
These voices hold more influence and power over the current situation
Would you hear me better if my voice was only in your head?
Would you be more receptive to my perspective if it only came from within yourself?
You rescind the weight of kingdoms you build on ruins freshly leveled
You let go of the weight and baggage of the past in order to move forward and grow
So the roots can grow again
To make room for new growth and opportunities
And feel the sun again
To experience the warmth and lightness after a period of darkness
What was left and what it means
The remnants of the past and what significance they still hold
Just slashing through this make believe
Cutting through the illusions and falsehoods to see what's truly important
