Legendary anti-Hollywood song by
Red Hot Chilly Peppers - Californication.This is my interpretation of the lyrics:
"Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation" Hollywood movies and shows occuping your minds with the fear of the enemy spies, that are preventing you from living a peaceful life. Constantlly thinking about things that you don't need to (there are security servies that do that), and forgeting the real life problems that are actually affecting your life.
"And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation" Everyone wants to be a big Hollywood star. It is the ultimate dream of the most young people.
"And if you want these kind of dreams it's Californication" BUt, if that is what you want then you will have to play by the Hollywood rules.
"It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization" Hollywood is on the west coast. Only Hawaii are more to the west.
"The sun may rise in the East at least it's settled in a final location" Not sure if the original lirics said "finer" or "final", but it represent the enternal rivary between the east and the west coast. Political power and wall street may be at the east, but the west coast is a better place to live, if you are not chasing the Hollywood fame. You may be all right at the New Yoork, but you are dreaming of the LA.
"It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication" Hollywood emposess its rules of the game or even an ideology.
"Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging" Spend all your money on plastic surgery to have a slight chance of succes in Hollywood. There is not really the other way,unless you are already naturally "perfect", as per Hollywood standars.
"Celebrity skin, is this your chin, or is that war you're waging?" After allof that, are you still you, or are you still strugling to become someone else? Because, you are never certain, is the reason you are not succeeding because you are not up to the Hollywood standards.
"First born unicorn" The ultimate dream - one in the bilion - becoming a big Holllywood star.
"Hardcore soft porn" The secondary career choice. When dreams don't come true, what you are left with in Hollywood.
"Dream of Californication"The Hollywood ideoligy.
"Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation" Promesies of the Hollywood movie makes.
"A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information" Dissapointment and concenquences after the broken promessies. Confusion and the search for the answers/slution.
"And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication" I'll do anything if you make me a Hollywood star. That is theHollywood way.
"Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement" The obsession of space exploration and conquest was seeded into the population by the Hollywood.
"And Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?" A tribute to Kurt Cobain.
"And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication" The birth planet of Princess Leia. Located in Hollywood baement.
"Born and raised by those who praise control of population" Holllywood influence being passed from generation to generation.
"Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation" Everyone is under their influence. Even without knowing it.
"Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation" It is not worth trying to repair the system. Destroying it wouldbe hard, but the reward would be a creation of new and better one.
"And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration" Women only care about how they feel.
"And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication" Not even a physical destruction of Hollywood would kill this system/ideology.
"Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging" The cult of the eternal youth.
"Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving?" Even if it destroys your health, you will try to look younger, with endless surgeries, so you can survive in Hollywood.
