Pissing Razors history in El Paso can be traced back to Rodriguez and Lynch's tenure with 90's metal band Sadist, the band folding when their singer joined the Navy. Lynch founded the soon to be titled Pissing Razors with Eddie Garcia on drums, his brother on bass and vocalist Loco Pelon. Rodrigues supplanted Pelon in 1995 as the band toured America with Stuck Mojo and Pro-Pain. The band toured Europe and America as support to Pro-Pain during early 1998.
Pissing Razors would pull in new vocalist Jason Bragg for a 2001 album 'Where We Come From' for their new label Spitfire Records. The group would embark on a further round of American dates in 2002, headlined by Cannibal Corpse and billed alongside Dark Funeral and Incantation, commencing on the 24th April in Los Angeles. Bragg pulled out in October and was swiftly replaced by Andre Acosta. The band had previously announced plans to tour with Skinlab, Dope, and Primer 55 throughout the winter but curtailed these shows due to the vocalist change. A further blow came in quick succession as within days of Bragg's exit guitarist Cesar Soto too left the band. Citing personal differences Soto almost immediately unveiled plans for a fresh act entitled Fueled II Fire, featuring none other than erstwhile Pissing Razors personnel singer Joe Rodriguez and guitarist Matt Lynch alongside former Angelburn bassist Hector Gallardo and drummer Danny Contreras of Wick=War=Burn.
Pissing Razors pulled in ex-Single Bullet Theory guitarist Matt Difabio during November. A new studio album, billed as 'Evolution', was set for April 2003 issue and promoted with a North American tour that saw the group allied with 40 Grit, Society 1 and Luxt. In August it was learned that the Pissing Razors rhythm section of bassist Rick Valles and drummer Eddy Garcia had united in a side project band with the Skinlab pairing of vocalist Steve Esquivel and guitarist Steve Green.
Guitarist Matt Difabio bailed out in February of 2004, his priorities with Single Bullet Theory taking precedence. Ex-singer Jason Bragg forged Drip Licorice. In August it would be announced that Pissing Razors bassist Rick Vallez would be handling all guitar duties for Ministry.
In mid August 2005 frontman Andre Acosta announced he had joined forces with Single Bullet Theory guitarist Matt Difabio in a new band unit dubbed Preface. Also involved would be John Chernoski on guitar, Jason Dunkerly on drums and Bill Mez on bass.
Out of Control
Pissing Razors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How quick and easy it can slip away
Survived it all for this long
Is it really worth all the pain?
I keep chasing a dream
Without any thought of what I leave behind
You struggle to keep it together
I can't get it down right
One way all the time
Out of control
Too much to lose
All these thoughts implanted
Born to play the part from the start
This tragic cycle continues
I sense your backbone breaking
It's time to take a look at this fuckin' picture
I hold my fate and make the choice
Believe me I know what you're thinking
Less than perfect I know I am
You better believe I'm willing to make the change
I can't get it down right
One way all the time
Out of control
Too much to lose
All the thoughts implanted
The lyrics to Pissing Razors's song Out Of Control speak about the struggles of chasing a dream and the consequences that come with it. The first two lines acknowledge how quickly success can slip away, but the artist has persisted through it all, questioning whether the pain and sacrifices are worth it. The third and fourth lines depict the aftermath of the artist's single-minded pursuit of their dream, leaving behind the people who support them and showing no compassion or respect for them.
The chorus emphasizes the artist's fear of losing control, and the possible fallout that could result from it. The lyrics point out how the stress and pressure of this constant struggle can easily drive somebody towards succumbing to addiction or other vices. The following lines suggest that these thoughts are deeply rooted within the artist, who has been programmed from birth to play the part of a musician, leading to a tragic cycle that perpetuates itself.
The concluding lines of the song document the artist's realization of the dire situation and motivate them to change their ways. They understand that the choice is theirs, and it is time to take a look at the bigger picture. The artist knows they are not perfect but is willing to make the necessary changes to gain control of their life.
