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 No reasons have been given for his departure, but he has been replaced by former The Leo Project guitarist Creighton Bibbs.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.

My Derailment
Adelitas Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hate it
A city that seems so jaded
I can't
I can't end up like that
It's all about what you drive
Who you know
In a second it'll swallow you whole
Just like that
You're way off track
To all you
Who want to
You want to it just ain't worth it
To all you
Who need to
You need to know
I don't give a fuck that you can't stand me
I've finally had enough of what you say
Now you're talking tough cause you back stabbed me
You're my derailment
So sick and so shameless
I swore I'd never start by saying
Do you know
You know who I am
It's not about what you drive
Who you know
Cause when it's gone
You'll be standing alone
And so fast
Just like that
You can't go back
To all you
Who want to
You want to it just ain't worth it
To all you
Who need to
You need to know
I don't give a fuck that you can't stand me
I've finally had enough of what you say
Now you're talking tough cause you back stabbed me
You're my derailment
It's funny how you lie and try to wreck me
It's funny how you're falling on your face
I'm never going to let you disrespect me
You're my derailment
The train is off the tracks
I'm not looking back
I don't give a fuck that you can't stand me
I've finally had enough of what you say
Now you're talking tough cause you back stabbed me
You're my derailment
It's funny how you lie and try to wreck me
It's funny how you're falling on your face
I'm never going to let you disrespect me
You're my derailment
Where do we go from here
With everything so unclear
Turned out to be by far my longest year
It's too late to turn back time
I'll never make it out alive
End of the day I see through all your lies
In "My Derailment," Adelitas Way sings about the struggles of staying true to oneself in a world that values superficial things like material possessions and social connections. The lyrics express disdain for the impersonal nature of city life and the way people are judged by what they drive and who they know. The singer acknowledges the temptation to fit in and conform to societal expectations but warns that this path only leads to personal and moral corruption.
Through the use of profanity, the singer emphasizes his frustration with those who criticize him for not playing by their rules. He has reached his breaking point and will no longer tolerate the backstabbing and lies that he has encountered. The chorus is a declaration that those who have betrayed him have derailed him from his intended path, and he will no longer allow them to dictate how he moves forward.
The final verse acknowledges the difficulty of navigating a world that seems to lack any clear direction. The year has been long, and the singer is left feeling lost and unsure of where to go from here. Despite the uncertainty, he remains resolute in his refusal to continue down a path that compromises his integrity.
