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 No reasons have been given for his departure, but he has been replaced by former The Leo Project guitarist Creighton Bibbs.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

The Collapse
Adelitas Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave it to you when you wanted it now
I know you're feeling that it's close to the end
Staring at me with your back on the ground
I know your world is in my hands
You know I pull the strings
I like to see how tall you stand
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
Stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I wanna bury you until it hurts
And I take, I don't ask
This breath will be your last
Do you feel the collapse?
You feel the pressure as I'm pulling you in
You're crumbling under the weight of the game
Before you let it all just go to your head
Now you're praying that you're walking away
You know your world is in my hands
You know I pull the strings
I like to see how tall you stand
'Cause if I wanted I could take it away
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
Stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I wanna bury you until it hurts
And I take, I don't ask
This breath will be your last
Do you feel the collapse?
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I want it to break, I want it to burn
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
So stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
So stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
Stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I wanna bury you until it hurts
And I take, I don't ask
This breath will be your last
Do you feel the collapse?
Do you feel the collapse?
Do you feel the collapse?
The lyrics to Adelitas Way's song "The Collapse" depict a relationship that is highly manipulative and controlling. The singer describes how they have given the other person what they wanted when they asked for it, but they are now using that power to put pressure on them. The other person's world is in the singer's hands, and they feel the weight of the game they are playing. The singer wants to see how far they will go, but also wants them to know that they could take everything away if they wanted to. The chorus repeats the phrase "get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out" and "stay down or I'm gonna keep you down" which implies the singer has the power and control to do whatever they want with the other person. The repeated statement "Do you feel the collapse?" suggests that this relationship is not sustainable and will end in destruction.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Collapse" offer a dark and sinister interpretation of a relationship. The controlling and domineering tone of the singer is unsettling and creates a tense atmosphere. The lyrics imply that this relationship is doomed to fail, with someone being hurt as a result.

I saw you get it when you wanted it then
I observed as you successfully attained your desire
I gave it to you when you wanted it now
I provided it for you immediately upon your request
I know you're feeling that it's close to the end
I'm aware that you believe this situation is almost over
Staring at me with your back on the ground
Looking at me while lying defeated on the ground
I know your world is in my hands
I understand that I have control over your world
You know I pull the strings
You're aware that I'm the one in charge
I like to see how tall you stand
I enjoy watching how strong you appear
'Cause if I wanted I could take it away
Because I have the power to remove what you have
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
Either be defeated or I'll defeat you
Stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
Remain defeated or I'll continue to keep you there
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I desire for it to be destroyed, either physically or emotionally
I wanna bury you until it hurts
I want to defeat you so thoroughly that you feel immense pain
And I take, I don't ask
I take what I want without permission
This breath will be your last
You'll soon be defeated
Do you feel the collapse?
Can you sense the impending defeat?
You feel the pressure as I'm pulling you in
You sense the force that's overpowering you
You're crumbling under the weight of the game
You're losing control as the situation overwhelms you
Before you let it all just go to your head
Don't become too confident and lose sight of the reality
Now you're praying that you're walking away
Now you hope to simply leave the situation unscathed
I want it to break, I want it to burn
I desire for it to be destroyed, either physically or emotionally
Get laid out or I'm gonna lay you out
Either be defeated or I'll defeat you
Stay down or I'm gonna keep you down
Remain defeated or I'll continue to keep you there
Do you feel the collapse?
Can you sense the impending defeat?
