Song Insight
  

This one's about all those women out there that are just great at being teases, but specifically from the male point of view of course! It's the thought that every guy gets when he sees an attractive girl…that he can rock her world better than anyone ever has…just like the legendary lover himself. Musically, this was the first original song we worked on together when we started the band. -Choy
  

Everyone has their own political views, here are mine. -Adrian
  

I was bored at work one day and in my "outlaw mode" from having watched the movie Young Guns the previous night and decided to do a little research on Billy the Kid. After about an hour or so on the internet I came up with the lyrics of what would become "Dead at 21"…as that was the age Billy was killed. The origins of this song actually came from a previous band that Mike and I were in, we liked the music and the other guys in Diablo did too so we kept it in the repertoire while we were writing songs. -Choy
  

Choy wrote this and I just added to it. It's about nothing in particular, it's one of those songs that you can give your own meaning to...so have fun! -Adrian
  

This one is based on my religious beliefs, but I was really surprised when a friend of mine told me that the song really hit him because his girl was really stubborn. It was weird and funny, so I was like, yeah exactly, that's what the song means. So I guess it's another one of those songs you can give a meaning to yourself. -Adrian
  

This one is about drug addiction, just how some people abuse drugs to the point where they can't take it anymore but they still do it. -Adrian
  

I wrote this about a friend of mine who was hooked on drugs, he wanted to quit but he couldn't, his body was so dependent on drugs he couldn't live a day without them. He went to rehab and all, came back clean and now is addicted again...not on drugs but on being healthy. He's now a marathon runner. -Adrian
  

This one is about a girl I know who's really insecure. She constantly talks shit about everyone, hatin' and all, but really deep inside she just does that because she doesn't want people to look at her and be criticized. The chorus of this song is me telling that person to be herself and not to hide behind other people's flaws. -Adrian
  

As you guys can see, I write pretty straightforward lyrics, because I want people to just grasp and feel the songs instead of having to figure shit out and needing the lyrics to be deep to appreciate them. Like this song is called "Bad Luck" and it's pretty self-explanatory, but I could've made it a little harder for you guys and titled it "Stuck In The Vortex Of Misfortune." Basically the song is a compilation of bad experiences in my life. -Adrian
  

If you don't know this expression...well let's just say you WILL if you hang out with us long enough 'cause we're all about getting smashed and having a good time! And that's also what this song is about...well I guess it's really about what happens AFTER! -Adrian

Na Na Na Na…
I see you coming on beaming your headlights
Feel you holding on a little too tight
Adrenaline is running through my veins
Touch too much gonna drive me insane, uhuh

Pretty thing such a sin, loving you again… 

Turning heads everywhere you go
Gonna miss you if you're moving too slow
Such a tease is it wrong to be right
Nowhere to run to, got you in my sites, uhuh

Pretty thing such a sin, loving you again

Yeah, I wanna be your Casanova
Yeah, I gonna be your Casanova

Just 19 years old and you want it all
Don't know which way to go
So pretty so nice
Honey what's your price?

On and on, you leave me on the curbside 
It feels just like a dog bite
You make it seem just like an invite
Don't take it away, I might take a bite

I can't take it, no no no no 
I gotta have you, yeah!

Freedom is what they call it 
Men at war, Children are dying
Broken Promises, Bullets for masses
Leading us is the King of lies

You better slow down right here
You better slow down now
You better slow right there
'Cause I feel you pushing, pushing down on me 

Bringing war to another country
Stealing Lands and all their properties
Dropping bombs innocent are dying
What's the point? Ask the King of Lies

Open up your mind and your eyes now
Don't listen to the lies he tell you 
Fake smiles and speeches that wash your mind
Like a clown with an evil frown

back to top

Staring, right into the setting sun
Lawman, always got me on the run
1, 2, 3, Windy had it coming you see
5, 6…No man here will ever catch me 
Oh yeah, when you live & die by the gun

Wanted, running from the men who blame me
For killing all the scum in Lincoln County
1, 2, 3, My head on a rising bounty
5, 6…Shots into the winds of deceit
Oh yeah, when you live & die by the gun

Shot down…dead at 21
That's how it goes when you live and die by the gun
Cornered, shot down…dead at 21
That's how it goes when you live and die by the gun

…1, 2, 3, 4!
That's my story and I'm sticking to my end
Some will never figure out, they will understand
I'm not the one to blame
It's got me all this fame
I'm 6 feet under and yet you still know my name

By the gun!
By the gun!
By the gun!
Fucking gun!

Just look and soon you will find
What a million eyes have been searching for
Experience makes you wise
But then again I've been wrong before 
Oh yeah

I hope you don't mind that I leave you this way
It's not what I planned in my head
I hope you don't mind but I know you will find it
This is not my home
This is not my home 

Open your mind not just your eyes 
Listen and look for the way inside
The time will come you will find
You'll see the answer it lies in you

And soon you will know what it means
And you'd wanna know what It means. Oh yeah

Brand New Day, Brand New Life, Brand New Everything
Since you're born everything's the same
Change is the only remedy

Same as you were before, kneeling to the things your hands aren't for
Walking to the path you don't want to go to 
Mistaken for the light you want your life into

Leave your ways, Follow mine, You won't regret
Don't stray, Look Ahead, You'll never forget
Other times you called my name, but you never let me in

They have Ears but they cannot hear 
And their Eyes they can never see

Change is the only remedy, wash away the past 
And forget where you've been, Shadows of today
Shall be gone by tomorrow, You have a choice 
wherever you may go

There will be a time you'll find yourself alone, and you will laugh and cry with the fear in your eyes,
too late for you to turn and realize, 
the remedy has gone by.

back to top

Easy, Don't let it reach your sense of conviction 
Hold yourself down and don't release it, no, no oh

You always find yourself…

Overloaded can never take them anymore
What a shameless reason. No

All alone and restless, in the corner staring 
There's no more left, no more strength, given up 
In finding veins

Once was a smile, but it turned into cry!
Turn your Head now and stare for a while!

Overloaded
Overloaded
Overloaded
Overloaded

back to top

Free me now, from myself, my pain, my sorrow
Being lost in oblivion, eyes wide open but still 
can't see nothing

Walk me out of this, Take me away 
Pull me out of where I can feel some air 
Guide me through the night, don't go away

Floating into the sky
Learning how to go back to where I was before

It is now or never, or I will be lost forever
I don't know what's next for me, I might not 
see tomorrow 

One day, I will die, but it won't be this day
Cause I will be free.

back to top

Every time, you see yourself in the mirror
You think about all the other people
Blinded by your own insecurity 
Where the hell did you get all this Negativity

Crank it up, Let me hear you scream it
Let it out, Why shame to prove it
Shout it out, Make me believe it
Scream it out, I cannot fucking hear it

There I go, Off to where you'll never know 
You'll never have, The strength that I do
I can stand in the midst the competition
And cast off my own reflection

There go
Off to where you'll never know
There go
No…no…no…no…oh

Pointing fingers, laughing deeply 
Emphasizing all their flaws yeah
Very afraid to look on the inside
What you'll find, there's no more applause yeah

back to top

Stepping on the bullshit everyday
Empty pockets, bitchy bosses, fading colognes 
and nasty asses
Waiting for the rain to go away, Beers are gone 
nothing left but a pail of rain!

OH Ba-ba-bad Luck, That's my name
Bad Luck, that's my name

And When you think everything's gonna be alright 
Girls on the rag, getting shit from your dad, getting 
paper cuts on my nads
Then again I hear my stomach cries in pain and 
all I ever get is this boring Name

Never before I had a better one
Never before I had anyone 
Never before I had a good one
Never before I had luck

Bad Luck!

back to top

Getting up, rolling like a baby, didn't know 
what happened the day I was sober, moving walls
spinning room and my head is banging, feet ain't 
moving, my pants are wet again, and the toilet's 
clogging, not knowing where I am. 
No oh idea! 

I'm Fried and toasted again
Consuming too much again
My head is aching
Never ever again

How many times yeah I've told myself 
I'm never ever gonna do it again
But here it comes, my blood is rushing
I need to chug one and hit one again and again

The next morning, the phone is ringing
I picked it up I couldn't hear em', the clouds are 
forming, starving while laughing, then I looked 
down my feet are wet again
I over did it again

Again and again…

I said I'll never do it again…never ever
You see I'm fried and toasted again… 
consuming too much
I said Ill never do it again…never ever
