Camino Muerto Lyrics

He’s there but he ain’t home
Someone get his corner stone
His life ain’t in your hands
Only he knows what death demands

Use your heart but do not dread
Some things are better off left dead

If he falls far enough
Maybe he can bounce back up
Do not cushion with love
If you care then let him drop

Use your heart but do not dread
Some things are better off left dead

Emenations aint glowin
Rip the skin of his bones
Tell me what you see
Nevermind don’t tell me

Use your heart but do not dread
Some things are better off left dead

Leave him alone
He’s on his own
Leave him alone
He’s on his own

Cielito lindo Camino muerto
Cielito lindo Camino muerto
Cielito lindo Camino muerto
Cielito lindo Camino muerto

His path ain’t up to you
Get out of whathedo
Death is to his left

He’s there but he ain’t home
Someone get his corner stone
Use your heart but do not dread
Some things are better off left dead

Emenations aint glowin
Rip the skin of his bones
Tell me what you see
Nevermind don’t tell me
Use your heart but do not dread
Some things are better off left dead

This song is amazing.

I think he's singing to someone who is hung up on a relationship where they care too much while the other person is off doing what he does, I'm assuming a drug issue from the lines "If he falls far enough maybe he can bounce back up" "He’s there but he ain’t home." He's telling the person to let it go, it's out of your control, it's a dead end; "Cielito lindo, camino muerto" roughly translates to "My dear, dead end" (Cielito lindo is a pet name, like saying honey, sweet heart, my dear. I'm not sure if it has a direct translation)

"Use your heart but do not dread, Some things are better off left deasd" She's probably afraid to get into another relationship because she's waiting for the person he's telling her to leave.

"Emenations aint glowin Rip the skin of his bones Tell me what you see Nevermind don’t tell me"

this part i havent got a clue

I don't know if i totally agree with you but that line could mean try and look past how he apprears to be and see how he is on the inside, perhaps meaning the woman is fixated on the mans beauty and the beauty of what she imagined they could be and he wants her to go beyond the aesthetic appeal of it

The song, in my opinion, is about a lover who has been dumped by his partner, who is offering all kinds of conciliations, friendship and remains a fixed presence in his life. This keeps him trapped in a cycle of torment and longing, preventing him from fully letting go and moving past it.

The message of the song is that it's better for him if they just let go and accept that the relationship is dead and that they both have to move on. His affairs are none of their business and not their responsibility anymore, and that if they really cared about him, rather than just trying to alleviate their guilt, they would commit fully to ending things and leave him alone.
