1) Punishment … Read Full Bio ↴There are several bands calling themselves Punishment
1) Punishment - Cleveland, US
Punishment finds WT Statler piloting a mess of late-80s synthesizers through the back catalogs of post-CBGB Suicide (think YB Blue), Yellow Magic Orchestra, and even those electronic Leonard Cohen records into a post-2000s realm of emotional honesty (via text message) and the sort of ringtone-friendly sounds James Ferraro would appreciate.
2) Punishment - Philadelphia, US
Signed to the Thorp label, Punishment had more drummers then Spinal Tap. Punishment toured in stolen vans on tours booked using pay phones, calling cards and the U.S postal service. Punishment busted their ass for their friends, played everything they could and never looked back. Punishment is never dead as much as they will never be as alive as it was 2000 to 2004.
3) Punishment - Oakland, CA

Punishment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wounded i gain knowledge
not to fall down again, a second
chance to stand my eyes open to pain,
and it's a hidden lesson built myself
to last in, this cold world so
merciless faced with another test of
will, i shall not fail once torn
peices, buried myself in grief lost my
way and my mind, slowly i recover
broken but not dead, wounds had
time to heal with strength came
rebirth, rising to the top where i
belong i shall not fail
