NORMAN PAIN – Trapped

Norman Pain is a member of the British hip-hop group The Snooker Team. He gained widespread acclaim for his collaborations with Pete & Bas on the songs “Windowframe Cypher” and “Golf.”

Following success with The Snooker Crew, Pain embarked on a solo career. On February 25, 2021, he released his debut single, “Trapped,” an emotional ballad on which he reflects on the mental torment he endures and subsequent drug abuse. Vicious, visceral, staggeringly, and heartbreakingly beautiful, Pain’s performance is disturbing, brutal, and breathtaking. His portrayal of brokenness, fear, and despair is nothing short of a masterpiece.

While “Trapped” was a melodic ballad, Pain’s second single, “Human Vermin,” is a sermon, with its eerie instrumental giving the track a sinister feel. He unleashes a ferocious verbal assault on the morally and legally unjust. The song received widespread praise, drawing comparisons to The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Pain’s third single, “I Won’t Let Them Down,” is another heartfelt track. The song’s music video was hosted by Astari. While the future is yet to be seen, Mr Pain is bound to release more astonishing music.

[Intro] Nine, one

[Chorus] I’ve never known fear like this Trapped in my own world I’m trapped in my own world (Jesus) I’ve never known fear like this Trapped in my own world I’m trapped in my own world

[Verse] I’ve just popped a pill Fuck my life (Fuck it) I feel ill But I know it’s not my time (Not yet) Up to my neck You know I’m in too deep My life’s a living hell Drop to my knees and weep Brain cells fucking fried My head’s gone numb Ever since my family died My wife took the kids and fled (Why?) For all I know they’re dead But they’re just sheep Just pawns in a game of chess I hope that bitch can sleep (Fuck ’em) Crisps and chocolate Cheese and chips and bread (Fucking bread) Clogged up blood Voices in my head Demons in my brain Chemicals in my veins I’m insane Can I be your friend? Don’t ask questions (No) I’ll do the fucking talking Do you like weapons? ‘Cos I like fucking stalking I feel dead Punch me in my face I can’t feel nowt I’m so scared

[Chorus] I’ve never known fear like this Trapped in my own world I’m trapped in my own world (Jesus) I’ve never known fear like this Trapped in my own world I’m trapped in my own world
