California Lyrics
Screw California
And friends that are never there
And places that they oughta
Pretend that they even care
From a false family, she could light you up
Like a holiday tree in the summer
So lead us there
So screw California
And ice that will never melt
From hearts of the modern
Children of Cicero
From a false family, she could light you up
Like a holiday tree in the summer
So lead us there
And friends that are never there
And places that they oughta
Pretend that they even care
Like a holiday tree in the summer
And ice that will never melt
From hearts of the modern
Children of Cicero
Like a holiday tree in the summer

take us to a better place, screw them fake bitches. duh thats what this is about.
Actually, i'm kidding, I don't know exactly what this is about yet, but i'm becomming obsessed with it.
gorgeous
Growing up in California, this song exemplifies exactly what I think of it. But beyond saying "Screw California," I like to think of it in the way that Colin Hanks put it in Orange County. The question was, James Joyce hated his homeland (Ireland), but what would he have been if he hadn't grown up there and experienced what he had?
It seems to me that the unfortunate events that we see in our childhood, and attribute to our homeland, are actually the driving force that pushes us to become something better. I feel that this song attests to that.
@TheMattford Thanks for this.
@TheMattford Thanks for this.
no, when he says "ice that will never melt" he isnt talking about real ice. he's talking about hard-hearted people or maybe a grudge.
first comment for a song that deserves many. i can't get enough of listening to it right now. i kinda see the "she" as california.it's just one of my favourite songs.
i think that although california is really superficial and everything, underneath...its pretty cool and means alot to him
brilliant
brilliant
This is a song that I can listen to for the first time and fall in love with.
I love this song... I personalize it like we all do with all songs... And as it should be... Life and friends are all in this song and pegged in a few words... People care and they don't... I agree that California is “she” and she is great and shallow at the same time.
Just F'ing great.
