Primer 55 is an American nu metal band from Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The name originates from the combination of Primer, meaning "something that's unfinished," and 55, which refers to Interstate 55, "the road that drugs run on to get to Chicago through Memphis".
Primer 55 was formed in 1997 by guitarist Bobby Burns and vocalist J-Sin. The two met when J-Sin's previous band was the opening act for Burns' previous band. Burns' heavy metal music influences and J-Sin's hip hop influences melded to create the band's rap rock sound. Bassist Mike "Jr." Christopher and drummer Josh McLane were then added to complete the lineup.
After releasing an EP on the independent label Propellant Transmissions, Primer 55 signed a contract with Island Records and reissued the EP as their debut album, Introduction to Mayhem on January 25, 2000. The remixed and reconstructed album features appearances from Incubus turntablist Chris Kilmore and Hed PE frontman Jared Gomes.
I slip away
My mind is a chemical waste land
My mind has a chemical need
A lifestyle whipping out my brain cells
Losing touch with reality
I like this alien nation
Getting lost inside of my head
I look for an explaination
Like inside these walls instead
I slip away
I trip away
I can tell this hate inside of me
I can tell i hate
I hate
Im cursed with a drug addiction
Im cursed with a mental disease
Chemicals eating out my consience
Take away my memories
i like this alien nation
i like this property
Selling out would be a rep were meant for
For immortality
