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.

We Want More
Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The creature takes what it wants
We have no future
All hope is gone
Just crush the weak
The winner takes it all
Money makes them breathe
How can I smile again
When it's all gonna end?
Another smoke screen, another toxic dream
We cannot change 'cause this is what we are
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
Another oil spill, another black dream
It's not enough to live in this filthy world
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
We will fall..
When it's all been crushed
Then the winner has lost it all
The nature's abuser
The creature takes what it wants
We have no future
All hope is gone
I can not smile again
'cause I know it's gonna end
Another smoke screen, another toxic dream
We cannot change 'cause this is what we are
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
Another oil spill, another black dream
It's not enough to live in this filthy world
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
We all will fall
Fall, fall, fall
Another smoke screen, another toxic dream
We cannot change 'cause this is what we are
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
Another oil spill, another black dream
It's not enough to live in this filthy world
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
The lyrics of "We Want More" by Pain touch upon the environmental crisis and societal greed. The first stanza speaks of the creature, meaning humanity, and how it takes whatever it wants from nature. The lyrics suggest that humans abuse nature and take what they want without thinking about the consequences. The line "we have no future, all hope is gone" speaks to the bleak outlook on the future of our planet and humanity. The lyrics suggest that this race of taking everything we want will lead to our downfall.
The chorus, "I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more," talks about the human desire for materialistic things and excess. The lyrics suggest that everyone is seeking more than what they already have, which leads to a society based on greed, and how time is ticking for us all to change before we fall.
The song's overall message is that humanity must change its ways before it's too late. It's a call to action to make small changes for a sustainable future. The lyrics suggest that the current state of the world is a result of humanity's greed and that the collective change of societal norms is needed to improve it.
