El Rancho
El Rancho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's your heart, it's your mind
How can you be so colorblind
I am here, can't you give me what I am looking for
We have set here before, eaten the same shit and more
God I know that kitchen stinks as hell down here
And lie me down in your picture of me pieces
I caught the last ray of light here today
And god I know that you are sucking me dry
But what should I do, I love the feeling, I love the pain

We're already falling but we don't know yet
It's the hardest thing for me to see that we're dying here in our shelter
It's the love we could not see

Pieces on the ground, of a time that we'll never see
We are falling down help me please, where's the remedy
Never backing down
Never backing down
No, not this time
Something we should find but it's lost, to blind to see
Everyone else tells me to just give in
Never looking up
Never looking up
These times for you and me
So lie me down in your picture of me pieces
I caught the last ray of light here today

We're already falling but we don't know yet




It's the hardest thing for me to see that we're dying here in our shelter
It's the love we could not see

Overall Meaning

The song "El Rancho" by El Rancho is a poignant reflection on a relationship that is crumbling despite efforts to salvage it. The opening lines of the song, "It's your heart, it's your mind, how can you be so colorblind" suggest that the singer is frustrated with their partner's inability to see the problems in their relationship. "I am here, can't you give me what I am looking for" further emphasizes this feeling of unmet needs and desires.


The chorus of the song, "We're already falling but we don't know yet, it's the hardest thing for me to see that we're dying here in our shelter, it's the love we could not see" drives home the theme of a relationship that is slowly disintegrating. The repetition of "never backing down" and "never looking up" suggests a sense of helplessness in trying to save the relationship, even as the singer remains committed to the love and pain of the situation.


The line "so lie me down in your picture of me pieces, I caught the last ray of light here today" is a beautiful image of a moment of clarity and closure, even as the relationship falls apart. Overall, "El Rancho" is a moving exploration of the complexities of love and heartache.
