In Flames puts a lot of thought into their album’s build, the album in its entirety has to make sense and be dynamic. So with “Drained” as Battles first track it sets the mood for the album, with a dark intro and a big chorus.
Lyrically, “Drained” is about something that Anders went through years a...
[Intro]
What we had we threw away
When we were close to heaven
But we ended up in hell
What we had we threw away
[Verse 1]
Just 'cause the hurt doesn't show
There's no way to recover, you broke my heart in two
I had a dream of growing old
I saw us driving to the end of the road
[Pre-Chorus]
We had this world of make-believe
I thought I saw the fire in your eyes
[Chorus]
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out of my will to survive
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive
[Verse 2]
I am drained and out of phase

Could have walked for miles
We were supposed to be the end of the line
[Pre-Chorus]
We had this world of make-believe
I thought I saw the fire in your eyes
[Chorus]
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out of my will to survive
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive
And you killed the part of me that kept us alive
[Bridge]
We had this world of make-believe
I thought I saw the fire in your eyes
[Chorus]
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You ripped the heart out of my will to survive
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive
You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out
You killed the part of me that kept us alive

Björn Gelotte:
“It sort of sets the mood for the album, it’s a nice dark intro with a big chorus – which we like obviously. We recorded in LA and we brought a bag of riffs and then most of the songs were finished or arranged in that house. Drained is one of three songs we wrote in LA, each and ever...
