A New Day is now the title track to the WWE's newest soundtrack, featuring songs from Story of the Year and Adelitas Way.
Adelitas Way released their first full-length debut album on Capitol/Virgin Records on July 14th, 2009. It garnered rave reviews from Tunelab and other music blogs, and sold over 2,000 copies in its first week. The album debuted at #16 on Billboard's 'Heat Seekers' chart, which features up and coming artists.
Invincible peaked at number four on Active Rock Radio charts and the album has sold over 12,000 copies to date.. Recent tours with the likes of Shinedown, Sick Puppies, Cavo, Breaking Benjamin, 10 Years, and Hurt have gained the band thousands of new fans.
Invincible is also featured on the new Smackdown v. Raw 2010 video game which is in stores now.
The band's new single, Last Stand, is set to hit rock radio on February 2nd. The video was filmed at the end of January in LA and features a storyline focusing mainly on lead singer Rick Dejesus. It should be released by the end of February.
Founding member and lead guitarist Chris Iorio left the band at the end of 2009. No reasons have been given for his departure, but he has been replaced by former The Leo Project guitarist Creighton Bibbs. Bibbs was replaced in 2011 by Robert Zakaryan.
Adelitas Way got their name from a very unorthodox source. While on tour on the west coast, their van was pulled over and eventually raided and thieved by corrupt Mexican cops who took all the money the band had, except for the few dollars Rick stashed in his boot. Disoriented and shaken from the experience, the band headed to the first bar they could find to calm themselves down. It was the Adelita Bar. After spending some time in there, the guys realized that it wasn't just a bar, it was a brothel. Rick ended up talking to one of the girls who worked there and asked her how she could live like she was day in and day out. She explained that it was the only way she knew to support her family in need. Talking to her helped change Rick's outlook on life and people, and thus the 'way' she lived became the inspiration for the name.

Drive
Adelitas Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We need a little colour
That's what I'm searching for
It's like I'm driving blind
I need a little summer
I need to feel the world
The taste
I'm feeling all my senses going,
off the way, that you do
I'm off the flame
I finally got the messages in love
He's in love
It's like I'm burning alive
You are the fuel in my fire, tonight
I'm burning alive
I've got a ticket to ride, tonight
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Her body lights the streets
Sometimes her beauty's blinding
I let her take my soul
The touch
The taste
I'm feeling all my senses going,
off the way, that you do
I'm off the flame
I finally got the messages in love
He's in love
It's like I'm burning alive
You are the fuel in my fire, tonight.
I'm burning alive
I've got a ticket to ride, tonight.
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Drive, Drive, Drive
(Lets just drive)
Drive, Drive, Drive

I'm seeing colour
I'm seeing colour
I'm seeing colour
Yeah!
It's like I'm burning alive
You are the fuel in my fire, tonight
I'm burning alive (i'm burning alive)
I've got a ticket to ride, tonight
Drive!

The lyrics of Adelitas Way's song Drive reveal a desire for more in life, a craving for something beyond the mundane routine of black and white existence. The longing for a brighter, more colourful experience is what drives the singer to search for something new. He is tired of feeling like he is driving blind and needs a little summer, a change that will allow him to feel the world. The touch and taste of new experiences are what fuel his senses and make him feel alive. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have found what he was looking for in love or in a particular person, who lights the streets with her beauty and takes his soul.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of "Drive, Drive, Drive" is a call to action, a plea to escape the mundane and embrace life's adventures. The repetition of the word "drive" serves as a metaphor for taking control of one's life, getting behind the wheel and deciding where to go. The excitement of the singer is palpable in these lines, the anticipation of what lies ahead is captured in the driving beat of the music. The chorus is an invitation to join in, to experience the colourful landscape that beckons with promise.
Overall, the message of the song seems to be that life is short and should be lived to the fullest. The lyrics suggest a desire to break free from the monotony of the everyday and embrace all that life has to offer. The song is an anthem of rebellion against routine and conformity, urging the listener to take risks and chase after their dreams.
