Waltuh from Albbqcurrently 2024 and chevelle are so overhated idk why .??
Ryan from Boston, MassachusettsI heard an interview with Chevelle on a Maine radio station and the lead singer had said the song is about being kicked or hit in the balls and that is to “send the pain below” I read all these other origins, but this is a fact.
Quik2398 from Portland, OregonI'm pretty sure this song is about being constipated...attempting to take a poo while your mean-spirited significant other mercilessly laughs at your inability to do so...if you listen to the lyrics with the mindset of what I just wrote it totally holds up lol
Pete from Boston, MaChevelle is an incredible band- this song hits home with me on so many levels as a human and a musician- I get what venting through music is like and shoving all of your sadness, anger, and fear down to the emotional depths to try and keep a brave face. This will always be a favorite for me.
Natalie from Lorena, TxAmazing song. Love the emotion that comes through not only the lyrics and their meanings, but the tone of his voice. This song is my fav by Chevelle, very close behind their Face To The Floor.

Kayla from Oklahoma City, OkIt is a really good song. Chevelle is always good.
Robby from Lynchburg, OhJust saw Chevelle at X-Fest 2-007 in Dayton this year. Greatest show I've seen, and my first show with them, defining point in my life, especially since they are indefinitely my favorite band and biggest influence in my own playing of music. I like how live, they elongate the intro, making it really soft and clean, it sends chills down the spine.
Jessica from Detroit, MiOne of the coolest experiences of my life was crowd surfing at Chevelle show, and this was the song. Hell Yeah Sonnnn!
Rachel from Algonquin, IlChevelle is awesome!! Send The Pain Below is the 1st song i heard by them on a movie and i could never get sick of it... and Wonder Whats Next is their best album...
Nick from Paramus, NjI'm sorry, I hate Chevelle I got their Wonder What's Next album and the only good songs were The Red and Closure. The rest was just noise to me.
Clown from Slocala, FlI love this song i first heard it on the radio a couple of years ago and feel in love with it.
