Send The Pain Below lyrics

I never really understood what was being sang in this song...kinda like i was hearing different words than the actual ones.lol

I can relate to this song because by saying "send the pain below", he's saying that he's pushing the fact that he's so hurt away. He's hiding it from everyone, and trying to keep it from himself. And the "much like suffocating" is saying, it's like he can't breathe anymore, when he has to face this pain. I do this a lot, and it IS like suffocating. You can't brethe, and no matter what, tears come, and you're lost. There's nothing there to save you, not in the darkness that's surrounding every thought and action.

whoa thank you all for the meanings, I never thought about the song that way ... really helped! Love that song!

Obviously like everyone said its about pain. The guy is obviously going through some pain but is trying to push it away. Everytime it gets brought up he feels like hes being sufficated.. Looks like he can't stand the pain no more... This song helped me out sophmore year when i couldnt handle the pain...BADASS SONG!!! i love it..

The singer has deep pain, from childhood i'm guessing. He learned how to push that pain down in order to be strong. Could have been his father causing mental/physical pain. Such repetition caused him to accept that pain as a way of life and welcomed it because he knew it well and began to like it because he knew he could deal with it, by pushing it down, because initially that kind of pain chokes us as children, thinking you will die. He welcomes it as an adult because its familiar to him and he can push it down where he knows he can handle it and go on. sadly, he can never get rid of that "pain below".
