Hollywood Undead, ‘Coming Back Down’

Mask-wearing Los Angeles rap-rockers Hollywood Undead have released 'Coming Back Down,' the latest track from their second album 'American Tragedy.'

'Coming Back Down' was produced by Kevin Rudolf, who has roots in both the rock and rap worlds as a guitarist, Cash Money Records signee, and frequent Lil Wayne collaborator.

Written by band members Danny, J-Dog and Johnny 3 Tears, 'Coming Back Down' treads close to emo rock-ballad territory, with somber lyrics about a busted relationship.

The song opens with an acoustic guitar and the emotional chorus:

"I just can't escape, it's like you're here with me now / But the words you say, they always seem to fade out / Since you've been away I'm just a face in the crowd / Someday, someday I know you're coming back down."

Electric guitars and programmed beats round out the mix as rap verses alternate with the chorus. The guys reveal their regret, rhyming, "I'm ashes to ashes, I'm dust to dust / And when a man turns to ashes, forget about love / Like the feeling inside you with the bottle beside you / You both end up empty like an angel just died, too."

The first single from 'American Tragedy,' 'Hear Me Now,' got to No. 23 on the Alternative Songs chart in March. The album hits retailers on April 5.
