Despite the abstraction involved, some tracks, like the wrenchingly epic comedown rocker “Bonnie Brae,” remain based on very real people going through very traumatic moments; in “Bonnie Brae,” it’s the possibility that Dulli might lose yet another close friend to narcotics—or himself. “‘Bonnie Brae’...
[Verse 1]
There was a rapture
So I can never see you any more
Nightmares believable
Walking into sweet oblivion
Not saying it's easy, no, no
To feel it all or not at all
When somebody says lay down your gun
And when you lay it down, get ready to run
[Chorus]
Situation dire
It's gone away, it's not going away
Since you're wasting time again, my friend
On Bonnie Brae, on Bonnie Brae
[Verse 2]
If she's your master (If she's your master)
Then get down on your knees and beg for more
Not saying it's easier (Not saying it's easier)
To live your life like her little whore
[Chorus]
'Cause when you play with fire
Take your fate, it's not going away
Situation dire, on Bonnie Brae
On Bonnie Brae, on Bonnie Brae
[Bridge]
The soul, the screen
The smoke in between
The rise, the fall
The thrill of
The first, the last
The sins of the past
The burn, the fade
The skin that you've flayed
Come see the sun
Kill everyone
But me, I’m free
Indubitably
[Outro]
There was a rapture (There was a rapture)
So I can never see you any more (So I can never see you any more)
Not saying it's easier (Not saying it's easier)
Not saying it's easier (Not saying it's easier)
