Analysis of Californication Lyrics

Yes, it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers song, Californication.

Twenty-five years have passed since they released the song, and billions of people

have listened, including you. But did you listen to the lyrics

carefully?

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's

elation. And little girls from Sweden dream of

silver

screen quotation. It's the edge of the world

and all of Western civilization. The sun may rise

in the East, at least it's settled in a final location.

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of

aging. Celebutant skin, is this your chin or is that

war you're waging? 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 that

praise control of population.

Everybody's been there and I don't mean on

vacation
