Everything out of that place will either be entirely self promoting and wrapped in a gaudy brilliance, or will play off your fears in some most unusual ways. Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Celebrity skin is this your chin? Or is that war your waging Simple enough. Here it's talking about how some people are consumed in a war against age, devoting so much of their time, energy, and life into combating it as to nullify any victory they have.
Ultimate futility revealed in the form of a question at the end. Chorus: First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication First born Unicorn is a nice rhyming phrase that holds a major symbol in it.
What that symbol is can be confusing, depending on what your take for the general mythological meaning of a Unicorn is. Some say strength and independence, which would then mean perhaps a glimmer of hope in the song talking about defiance to the force of Californication. Others say a fearful, dreadfully powerful creature. It would then be talking about Californication itself, being a firstborn unicorn, our society's first and most dreadful force to effect change upon our world.
They sell as much sex as possible, promote it as much as possible, but are never willing to outright go all the way with it, still attempting to uphold that innocent polished image.
I'm still shaky on the grounds, but I think he's just addressing another archetype here, as symbol of the TYPE of person who gets caught up on the whole society, but not an actual person.
And seeing how constellations can also determine your fate, he could be saying to this girl to marry him, be the one to take him around the world, and be the one to be his fate. And have you noticed that when young teenage girls get pregnant, they finally wake up and realize they need to get their act and life together. A few non Hollywood actors have done so.
It's also a Star Trek reference, of course, with that phrase. He referenced Hollywood again. He does it one more time in this verse, proving how he is a true geek at heart. He asks if he sees what has happened.
So, do you kind of see the connection? This is a major symbol because he is pretty much saying "our perfect world will be destroyed soon, it's Californication" by saying that Alderaan is no far away.
Again he's touching upon the destructive nature of this force, a theme I poked earlier on. As opposed to having gone to California on vacation. You cannot wipe out this force, even if California was wiped off the map.
Also, there's a touch of irony in talking about earthquakes, seeing how California is rocked by them pretty constantly. The earthquake to a guitar, as much damage as it may cause, to a guitar, is only another vibration Creation from destruction. Californication is destructive, as he's shown, but again the hope glimmers through; it can be creative. The last line would be by far too ambiguous for me to really throw my opinion on. Are you craving Californication, or are you craving to escape it?
We strive to be good people but we always fall back to the ways of evil. We come to the point that that is what we're craving. There was an error. Not Station to Station, although he's on the right track. Coaler on February 27, Awesome interpretation and background explanation! I totally agree! When I went to this page this evening, I didn't expect to find such a gem!
I like to add my thouhgts: First of all: 0 Could you provide a link to the original posting? That would be nice. I would like to speak to the author of this interpretation. Unicorns do not exists.
But its unicorns what California sells. And Hollywood was its first born unicorn. The use of this unicorn symbol represents your interpretation of the line "Little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotations". He speaks to those "little girls from Sweden" being naive on Hollywood. If it were that easy and fairly tale-like as you think it is, why not buy me a star on the boulevard then.
As easy as that. For the follow-up to One Hot Minute, the guitarist favoured a more sedate sound. And this is where the title of one song - and the title of the album itself - would come in. The mood of the album was more introspective and the song Californication mused on the nature of fame and success.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was our new song. The Chili Peppers tried to sue the producers, but the programme makers successfully proved that the term had been used in Time magazine as far back as The case was settled out of court. No, instead it is referring to Hollywood because, when we think of California, what do we really think of?
We think of the idiot celebs living there in Hollywood. Now, the word fornication does not refer to the act of fornication itself, per se, but it could. Instead what it is metaphorically referring to is the overall lifestyle of Hollywood. Because of the popularity of blockbuster movies and other such things, modern celebrities have achieved an iconic, almost Godlike status in our society. They can have whatever they want, and more importantly they can do whatever they want.
Everyday we hear about something that some idiot celebrity did mocking an entire minority group, shaving their head bald, denying things that everyone already knows to be true This is their lifestyle, and more importantly, they don't even care how much they are destroying their lives.
But the beauty of Californication is not pointing out this simple fact because we already know this. But the reason that Californication is so awesome is because it tells us that this lifestyle is, through movies, television, and the internet, spreading everyone, young and old alike beginning to think that they, like these celebrities can simply throw their lives away in exchange for endless partying.
She is watching a show involving spies from China. On the show, they are uncovering secret plans from the US government or whatever, that part doesn't really matter.
But what the show is really doing is not stealing the US's plans, but the mind of that little girl. For those of you who don't know how to use a dictionary, "elation" means great happiness. While that little girl is watching that television program, she believes that she is happy because it is relaxing and she knows that tomorrow at school, everyone will be talking about it, and she will be able to chime in, making her more popular and thus happier.
But this is not the real feeling that we get from television. Really, our brains are rotting, and more importantly, we are letting somebody elses thoughts get into our brains. In this case, it is the producers, writers, directors, and editors thoughts creeping into this little girls brain in the form of the actors portraying the part of Chinese spies.
All that this little girl can think of is these words that these spies are saying. First of all, that only impounds the message the the director and so forth are trying to send to her even more in her head. But also, she is slowly learning that this is the ideal. Whoever the actor is has a dream job. He says a few lines in a recording studio and then goes out and parties for six days.
This is a slow learning process and not something that happens all at once. How much more western than Hollywood can you get? Also, it is the height of our western ideals. Ever since socrates spoke out and Julius Caesar took over a nation, our European ancestors and ourselves have always valued self advancement. We are out there living our lives mostly for the sake of being noticed by others. Nowhere on the planet is this more prevalent than Hollywood. It almost seems as if the Paris Hiltons and Brittany Spearses of the world are as stupid as they are on purpose for the sake of getting more attention.
It is saddening but true "The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final location" This refers to two things. First of all, as mentioned above, western civilization as we know it began in ancient Greece. To most of us, that is far away in the EAST. Now that we have all moved west, the "final location" for western civilization is Hollywood. The other thing that this refers to is Hollywood sunsets.
Think of old westerns where the cowboy rides off into the sunset. That sunset is painted. The sun in that painting will never rise nor set anymore. It is in its final location. But we are mortal humans, so we age, and as we do, we look less and less fantastic. So what do rich celebrities do? Plastic surgery.
