Go post your CP elsewhere you creep

20 years later I still hate this song.

>>129659260
It's closer to thirty years than twenty, now:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Californication_(song)

>>129659260

It has the worst lyrics of any song of all time. (Except for all Kiedes's other awful lyrics. Whose dick did he suck to get signed?)

>>129659225
Who's this 17 year old

>>129659225
kinda sus to be posting pictures of underage teenage models on this board

>>129659308
Truth. The first time I heard it I thought "nice tune." Once I paid attention to the lyrics it was ruined for me. It takes incredible idiocy to ruin a good tune.

I'm ESL, so I don't get why it's so bad
it's a jab at California's plastic and artificial lifestyle, isn't it?
not the best writing ever, but it's hardly the worst either

good song unironically.
rhcp hate is understandable but they're a great band nonetheless.

>>129659225
Great album

>>129660467
Because it's all either complete nonsense or observations which, upon even a moment's reflection, are extremely fucking dumb.

>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

Like, what does this shit even mean? it's just similar-sounding syllables! If you translate the second line to regular English, it's just "girls in Sweeden dream in movie quotes". And if you also want to dream in movie quotes, it's Californication? If so, what exactly is Californication? Wanting to live in a beautiful place being ruined by rich hippies and homeless people? How is this related to dreaming im movie quotes?

>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

But the sun isn't settling, Anthony! It never stops moving and leaves the West every morning!

>It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

Did you just use this line because you didn't wanna actually explain what Californication is, Anthony?

>>129661020
indeed saar indeed

>Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
>Celebrity skin: is this your chin or is that war you're waging?

Plastic surgeons don't break the spell of aging, Anthony. They don't even temporarily restore youthful vitality. It's not like getting a steroid perscription.

>First born unicorn
>Hardcore soft porn

A bisexual pornstar who's also a firstborn child? Was this one of the little girls from Sweden in the first stanza?

>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

Is this teenage bride the bisexual pornstar doing lesbian porn from Sweeden married to him? And he's asking her to buy his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fane in the same sentence he asks her to marry him?

>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

Again, none of this is connected by theme, narrative, emotion, or anything else. It all just sounds similar, and it sounds really dumb once you give it more than a moment's attention.

>Born and raised by those who praise control of population
>Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean no vacation

The very existence of this couplet offends me.

>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

Is it still a good vibration when the earthquake crushes the guitar, Anthony?

>And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

Could the tidal wave at least drown Anthony Kiedis and save us from his terrible lyrics?

>Dream of Californication (x4)

We still don't even have kind of an idea what Californication is!

God, I hate the song even more now going over it like this. How did this crap ever become a hit?

lmaoing @ the autist having a meltdown over being incapable of understanding lyrical metaphors

It's 4 dudes from the 80's California Punk scene, not fucking Marcus Arealius, give me a break. The music, other than Keidis, is top shelf. Not everything needs to be Don McLean.

>>129659284
it's almost 36 years old, but it sounds 17

>>129663350
It's not my fault you're a tasteless cretin who never reads quality writing, least of all poetry, and who has nothing to celebrate but his own ignorance and stupidity.

>>129663350
also funny that this criticisim comes from the poptimists and rap fans at /mu/

>>129663776
/mu/ isn't poptimist. We're just filled with pervs who wanna bang pop bitches.

I'm not an rhcp fan but I think you might be autistic, it's pretty easy to understand what he means, it's actually one of their better songs lyrically and thematically. not sure if you're trolling or just dumb

What baffles me now that I think of it is that this band and Kiedis in particular are the biggest Californian sex-addicted degenerates there are and then they write a song criticizing that same thing.

you can like a place and still criticize it. California obviously has a lot of problems that everyone sees.
