Machine Gun Kelly is less than a week away from the release of his highly-anticipated album Tickets To My Downfall.
To help celebrate its release, MGK is playing the entire album in full for a new livestream concert.
Unfortunately, MGK is unable to rock out with fans to Tickets To My Downfall in person due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, this setback isn’t stopping him from celebrating the album’s release.
Tickets To My Downfall Lyrics:-
[Intro]
I sold some tickets to come see my downfall
It sold out in minutes
I saw friends in the front row, they’ll leave when I’m finished
And the light in my name’s gone
‘Cause the ones who gas you up only come around when the flame’s on
And (I gave you my light, oh, oh, oh)
Ayy, fuck it
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I use a razor to take off the edge
“Jump off the ledge,” they said (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
“Take the laser, aim at my head and paint the walls red,” I said (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
“I’m crazy, I’m off the meds, I’m better off dead,” they said (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I use a razor to take off the edge, jump off the ledge
[Chorus]
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
[Verse]
Ooh, my fingers burning from the temperatures (Tempatures)
My preacher led me off the precipice (Fuck)
If I’m a painter, I’d be a depression-ist (Depression-ist)
I need this time to decompress from this
Ketamine, this cocaine, this medicine for my growing pain
This weed I’ve been smoking, I’m dying inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I use a razor to take off the edge
“Jump off the ledge,” they said (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
“Take the laser, aim at my head and paint the walls red,” I said (Fuck you)
“I’m crazy, I’m off the meds, I’m better off dead,” they said (Yeah, yeah yeah)
I use a razor to take off the edge, jump off the ledge
[Chorus]
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
I’m sellin’ tickets to my downfall
On Oct. 1, Machine Gun Kelly is performing Tickets To My Downfall in its entirety during a new virtual concert. For the performance, MGK is taking over the legendary Roxy in Hollywood.
Along with the Tickets To My Downfall livestream gig on Oct. 1, MGK is also performing his latest album Hotel Diablo in full on Oct. 8.
Not one to shy away from famous musical collaborations, this next one features alt/pop songstress Halsey and oh my, ‘Forget Me Too‘ is the best pop punk anthem we’ve heard since Avril Lavigne’s ‘Girlfriend’. Halsey absolutely smashes her feature here and even though it may throw you back to Demi Lovato’s earlier years, this is a standout tune on the album. Machine Gun Kelly simmers down on that whole emo trap sensation with ‘All I Know’ alongside the help of US rapper Trippie Redd. It’s like a cool blend of early 2000’s pop with an added touch of what’s making waves in pop today. I rate this way more than ‘Lonely’ which I felt was a letdown here. While ‘Lonely’ did begin with quite the nostalgic rock riff, the song kinda just fizzled out way too quickly before we could really feel his emotions.
Blink fans will froth ‘WWIII’ hard here because this sounds like it was taken straight out of the Blink-182 demo archives. Clocking in at just under a minute, this is a furious, punk belter which ends just as quickly as it began. ‘Kevin and Barracuda’ sees us listening to Kelly talking alien names, “be-boop’s” and “coming down from mushrooms”, which works out to be the perfect prelude for ‘Concert For Aliens’.
If you haven’t heard this song yet, you’ve probably been hiding under a rock this year (or stuck in isolation with no internet) because this an absolute fucking anthem. It’s as pop punky as he gets on Tickets to My Downfall and might just be the best throwback we’ve heard since the early 2000’s itself. Anyone between the ages of 25 and 35 will instantly be transported to their teenage emo/punk years. Turn this up!
