One More Reason
Hollywood Rose & L.A. Guns Lyrics

The lyrics to Hollywood Rose & L.A. Guns's song "One More Reason" talk about a person's addiction to danger and how it eventually gives them one more reason to die. The opening lines with "Angel mercy, tears like rain, Hurt so good, can't feel no pain, Paint it black, drives me insane, So far gone I'm not the same" paints the picture of how the person is addicted to the feeling of pain and being so far gone that they're different from who they were before. It's almost as if they're addicted to feeling numb and are willing to seek out this sensation at all costs.

The following lines with "Blood with no regrets, English words, they won't forget, Crimes of passion, cigarettes, Move by night he won't suspect" adds to the dangerous allure of the person's addiction, as they seem to be involved in criminal activities, perhaps involving violence and sex. The chorus with "You give me one more reason, One more reason to die" shows the person is aware of the risks and danger they're walking into, yet they're willing to go through with it anyway because they're addicted to the thrill of danger.

The final lines of the song with "Car ahead eliminate, Smoking gun, That sealed their fate, Flesh and blood to instigate, 85 dollars, Ain't she great" seems to be referencing a murder committed by the person, which was paid for by someone else for only $85. This shows the person's willingness to go to any lengths to feed their addiction, even if it involves taking someone's life. The song ends with the chorus, emphasizing the idea that this person's addiction to danger has given them one more reason to die.
