I was just returning home and the last song on the radio was "Californication" played by the Rock Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song has a really nice tune and some good lyrics. So I came home and decided to look it over.
Now about the rockstars. Well I feel they are normal people but their way of expressing feelings is quite different. Loud Songs, faster beats, weird vocals, bold lyrics, long hair and with a weird lifestyle. I don't know how they get inspired to do all these but its certainly in demand. The word in the song "Californification" comes from the words California and Fornification. Fornification has negative meaning, Chk this link for meaning Californification. Overall the song talks about how the world is turning into an artificial place just like California.
I remember, the last time I talked with a friend and he described his Vegas trip and how much he enjoyed. And he really enjoyed enjoyed cause it was his bachelor party. I just could not digest that. And he told me "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". Is California the place to go and become sinful ?
The song goes over issues like these.
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
The poet says he met some met some girls from Sweden who wanted to be actresses in movies but things did not go right for them and they ended in different kind of movies.
It’s the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east
At least it settles in a final location
It’s understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Here the poet is trying to say the even though the the east is different than the west but very soon the whole world will try to copy California.
Space may be the final frontier
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan’s not far away
Here the poet says everything is fake in California and Alderaan is a planet in the movie Star Wars which was destroyed by The Empire, implying that the world is being destroyed.
Pay your sugeon very well
To break the signs of aging
Sicker then the rest
There is no test
But this is what you’re craving
Again the poet says the California especially Hollywood is all about fake personalities.
