Californication Lyrics

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams it's Californication

It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin, or is that war you're waging?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication

Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Destruction leads to a very rough road, but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

What is the Meaning of Californication?

This lyrical masterpiece delves into the paradoxical allure and perils of Hollywood's influence on global culture. The term "Californication" encapsulates this phenomenon, representing the commercialization and commodification of dreams and ideals. The song underscores the idea that Hollywood, symbolizing Western culture at large, sells a version of reality that is often far removed from actual life experiences 🎬🌍. The references to 'psychic spies,' 'celebrity skin,' and 'first-born unicorns' underscore the surreal, often deceptive nature of this cultural export. Moreover, lines like 'space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement' highlight how media can manipulate perceptions of reality 🚀. Ultimately, it serves as a critique of society's obsession with youth, fame, and superficial beauty while acknowledging their seductive appeal.
