1. Sweden’s Pain is an industrial metal band. The band started out as a hobby project for Hypocrisy front man Peter Tägtgren, whose idea was to fuse metal with electronic influences. Tägtgren is the only official member. Pain’s self titled debut was released in 1996, and since, Pain has released 8 albums and 2 DVDs
“MUSIC IS everything to me. I’ve been through two divorces and a whole world of shit because of music but still it is the most important thing in the world to me. I’d rather have music than anything else.”
So speaks 36-year-old Peter Tägtgren, musician, producer and creative brain behind Pain. His has been a life immersed in music, in pushing boundaries, and taking ideas to both their logical and illogical extremes. It’s been a career that has involved fronting bands – notably Hypocrisy, and now Pain – or shaping their sounds – as he has done with Celtic Frost, Children Of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir and Immortal, among others. It’s a calling that has made him one of Sweden’s most respected musicians and producers. But, with Pain’s new album ‘Psalms Of Extinction’, he now wants to take things one step further. Now, in his own words, he’s ready to make his band Pain, “the biggest fucking band in the genre. I want this to be huge on a worldwide scale.”
TÄGTGREN’S CAREER began in Hypocrisy, the atmospheric death metal band that he created, fronted and led. “But, in 1996,” Tägtgren says, “I realised I wanted to write some more heavy metal based music. I didn’t want to change Hypocrisy because I didn’t think that band had finished developing in its own genre. I really wanted to allow that to happen but I also wanted to experiment with other sounds. That’s why I set up Pain.”

2. Forming in 1994, the punk rock band is a musical ensemble comprised of seven members that originated in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Their song "Jabberjaw" was commissioned for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim as a short music video placed into the ad rotation.
Pain's sound is sometimes confused with ska/ska-punk, due to similarities in instrumentation and similar sensibilities to third-wave ska-punk bands, but it cannot be accurately described as ska since it does not utilize the ska beat. The band includes a trumpet, trombone, and saxophone, which are often found in ska bands, but the band members have stated numerous times that they are not a ska band -- in fact they have claimed that they do not like the ska genre. The band is perhaps best defined by their fast-paced lyrics and clever rhythm schemes, both instrumental and spoken. Pain's lyrics are often humorous, touching lightly upon such subjects as Dungeons and Dragons as well as Greek and Arthurian legends, often creating entire plots and stories about fictional characters.
Many of their songs are nostalgic and humorous, while others have philosophic undertones. Despite these subtleties, they maintain a frenzied, bouncy sound and an ironic sense of humor which sets them apart from the mainstream scene.
In mid-2009, the band released the DVD retrospective "In a Band," chronicling the band's 7-year career with over 5 hours of video, audio, and photo content.

Pull Me Under
Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don't you come and watch me die
Can't get enough, you know I never get enough
I'm gonna do it 'til I die
And every time, I throw my face against the wall
And just to know that I am alive
My mind is getting twisted and my body's getting numb
Leaving it all behind
I need my mind to spin me around
Pull me under
Suck me in, spit me out
Hold on tight, 'cause I am going down
I am what the drugs make me
I am doing time in my toasted mind
Crash and burn, I guess I never learn
Bring me down on my knees and drag me through the dirt
Got nowhere to hide
Leaving it all behind
I need the drugs to spin me around
Pull me under
Suck me in, spit me out
Hold on tight, 'cause I am going down
I am what the drugs make me
I fall over
Shut me up, throw me out
Hold on tight, 'cause I am going down
I let the drugs help me
I don't wanna be alone
I guess, I am not the only one
Leaving it all behind
I need the drugs to spin me around
Pull me under
Suck me in, spit me out
Hold on tight, 'cause I am going down
I am what the drugs make me
I fall over
Shut me up, throw me out
Hold on tight, 'cause I am going down
I let the drugs help me
Pull me under
Shut me up, spit me out
I fall over
Pull me under
Shut me up, spit me out
I fall over
The song "Pull Me Under" by Pain is a powerful portrayal of addiction and its all-consuming nature. The lyrics depict the singer's willingness to ride the "addiction tide" and embrace the self-destructive behavior that goes with it. The chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer begs to be pulled under and is helpless to resist the drugs that have taken hold of them. The use of repetition and stark imagery such as "drag me through the dirt" and "I am what the drugs make me" further highlight the desperation and intense emotions associated with addiction.
The verses describe the physical toll addiction takes on the singer's body and mind, with references to crashing and burning and feeling numb. The lines "I have succeeded the ultimate rush" suggest that the singer is willing to risk everything for the high their addiction brings. The repeated plea to be pulled under and held tight as they "go down" speaks to the sense of loss of control and the desire to relinquish responsibility for their actions. The final lines "I let the drugs help me" suggest a resignation to the fact that the singer cannot overcome their addiction alone and needs the drugs to cope.
Overall, "Pull Me Under" powerfully captures the struggle of addiction and the overwhelming desire to escape reality through substance abuse.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm gonna ride on my addiction tide
I will indulge my addiction, come what may
Why don't you come and watch me die
Won't you observe the death of me?
Can't get enough, you know I never get enough
I have insatiable cravings, there is no stopping me
I'm gonna do it 'til I die
I'm committed to this addiction until the end
And every time, I throw my face against the wall
I engage in self-destructive behavior with no regard for the consequences
And just to know that I am alive
I need to push myself to the limit to feel alive
My mind is getting twisted and my body's getting numb
My addiction is taking a severe toll on my mental and physical state
I have succeeded the ultimate rush
I have achieved the highest level of intoxication
Leaving it all behind
I'm willing to abandon everything for the sake of my addiction
I need my mind to spin me around
I require extreme stimulation to feel any sense of satisfaction or enjoyment
Pull me under
Let me sink deeper into my addiction
Suck me in, spit me out
I'm caught in a vicious cycle of addiction and withdrawal
Hold on tight, 'cause I am going down
I'm spiraling out of control and need someone or something to hold onto
I am what the drugs make me
My entire persona is shaped and controlled by my addiction
I am doing time in my toasted mind
My mind is trapped in a state of delirium and I'm paying the price with my time
Crash and burn, I guess I never learn
I keep repeating the same self-destructive behavior and refuse to learn from my mistakes
Bring me down on my knees and drag me through the dirt
My addiction has enslaved me and left me powerless and humiliated
Got nowhere to hide
There's nowhere I can escape from the grip of my addiction
I fall over
I have lost control of myself and collapsed
Shut me up, throw me out
My addiction has made me a nuisance to society and I'm being discarded
I let the drugs help me
I've surrendered to the drugs and let them take over
I don't wanna be alone
I fear being abandoned by my addiction
I guess, I am not the only one
There are others like me who are enslaved by addiction
