Lyrically, "Californication" delves into the dark underbelly of Hollywood culture and the broader American dream, juxtaposing the glamour and allure of California with the harsh realities of exploitation and decay. The song critiques the commercialization of culture and the destructive nature of fame while also exploring themes of alienation and the search for identity.

Song lyrics

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


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

It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication


Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging

Celebrity skin: is this your chin or is that war you're waging?


First born unicorn

Hardcore soft porn


Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication


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


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 who praise control of population

Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean no vacation


First born unicorn

Hardcore soft porn


Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication


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

And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication


Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging

Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving


First born unicorn

Hardcore soft porn


Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication
