Send The Pain Below Lyrics
God dammit, you people have no sense when it comes to the actual meaning of the song. Alright, this song is obviously about this guy's experience with one bitch of a girlfriend and how he put up with it incident after incident after incident. Until he finally dumps her and looks back at the experience saying "I liked being hurt", so he doesn't like being hurt anymore. And the suffocating was forcing himself to stay with her despite the she gave him.
Calm the fuck down dude, its just a song. You're supposed to find your own meaning in music, there is no right or wrong answer. Plus Chevelle is notorious for making up fake meaning for there songs just so people don't spend all there time worrying about what Pete meant when he wrote it and make a real connection to the music. Not to mention the music video provides a completely different interpretation of the lyrics.

@sandman18and5 Plausable even if the lyrics are maddeningly vague.I'm not sold but think starfox69 was way too harsh on your interpretation. It make as much sense as anything else I've heard but until I hear the band members with their own interpretation I will withhold judgement.

I think this song is about someone who has endured a painful, dark period in their life and the pain has cut so deep it's become suffocating. This song is them fighting back against the negative wave and instead using that pain and dark energy as a jumping off point, making it become almost cathartic & therapeutic.
@EternalTearsOfSorrow perfect description, this song is like a person suffers a chronic illness, such as anxiety anxitie

This song is great. I like the way he says "much like suffocating". Awesome.
Basically this perfectly describes the process of going numb. "But long before having hurt, I'd send the pain below." This is the "grin and bear it" mentality as you "send the pain below." After having done this repeatedly..."much like suffocating," eventually leads to..."I can't feel my chest, drop down, because I am," until you are comfortably numb and reflect upon a time when you could feel, even if it hurt; "I liked having hurt." Their ability to so concisely express it is amazing! Great band!
Ok now that we've cleared up the fact that they're awesome and we can't wait to see them live how about we start talkign about what the song means?
this song is good
Smh all you overthinkin dr philly analyzers... \n\nGotta k.i.s.s\n\nIt\'s about a not so good snowboarder drinking alcohol landing some tricks in comp -14\n\nProof? Watch the vid
The lines...
You used to run me away while laughing Then cry about the fact till I returned
...they would have been the perfect voice-over for a relationship I was in a few months back. It was a constant on/off back-n-forth battle. Push & Pull... etc.
Chevelle rules. I can't wait to see them live (again)
I just saw them live Wednesday. They're amazing.

There's an error in these lyrics. It should be ...
I like having hurt
instead of
Hard lives have been hurt
once in awhile that feelng of people not wanting you to succeed and realizing their self worth...
