Drowning Pool - The Soundtrack of my Youth

With songs like "Tear Away," "Sinner," "Reminded," "I am," "Sermon" and "Bodies" it was an emotional rage-fest which fed into my belief that I was alone in the world. That most people where delusional, self-interested sinners who weren't worth my consideration. Those tunes and lyrics made me question where I put my faith, what I thought of "God." They spoke to my soul in ways that would scare most parents, and certainly scared mine. Back then it was the music that kept me from raging out on everyone around me.

These days, I can still sing most all of the lyrics, but the music doesn't speak to my soul anymore. The lyrics have a different context and impact on me because I have changed. Music, in that sense, has become a way to study the changes in me... Music is an expression of emotion, so it makes sense our tastes reflect our feelings, even on a subconscious level.
