Lost in California
California Dreams: Navigating Neon Lights and Lost Minds
Lyrics
High and lost in California
Feeling elevated and disoriented in California
Guess I didn't read the warning
Failed to heed a cautionary message or advice
High and lost in California
Feeling elevated and disoriented in California (repeated)
Can't find my way home tonight
Unable to find the way back home
Had stars in my eyes
Originally ambitious or hopeful, now disillusioned
Now its just neon lights
Transition from hopeful aspirations to a superficial or artificial environment
Momma told me I lost my mind
Received criticism or admonishment for losing touch with reality
Found it on sunset and vine
Rediscovered a sense of self in a specific location (Sunset and Vine)
Lost in California
Still feeling disoriented or lost in California (repeated)
Now all the old timers call me Hollywood
Now labeled or identified as someone associated with Hollywood
Told them I would get out if I could
Expressed intent to leave but seemingly unable to do so
But its fate, I'm the last of my kind
Feels destined or fated to belong to a dwindling or unique group
California dreaming
Immersed in fantasies or aspirations related to California
All the way through the night
Continuing with aspirations throughout the night
I always knew just what I wanted
Had clear goals or desires in mind
Yeah
Confirmation of a previous statement or feeling
Didn't think It would take this long to find it
Surprised by the duration it took to achieve aspirations
Yeah
Reiteration of the surprise at the extended time frame
Lost and alone your voice still in my head
Feeling lost and solitary with someone's voice lingering in thoughts
You can keep talking but I'm not listening
Choosing not to listen despite external influence
Ah ohhhh ah ohhhh
Non-verbal sounds expressing emotions or feelings
Ah ohhhh ah ohhhhh
-Lost in california
Still experiencing disorientation in California (repeated)
West coast honey
Reference to the attractiveness of the West Coast
Orange County bunny
Referring to a stereotypical image associated with Orange County, potentially superficial or shallow
Move to the city and you'll start acting funny
Adapting to city life changes one's behavior
Make a lil money
Earning some money
Spend it all on nothin
Spending money recklessly or without purpose
Always tired
Constantly fatigued but persisting with life's demands
But we keep on running
Continuously striving or pursuing despite exhaustion
Had stars in my eyes
Similar to previous references: transition from hopeful aspirations to superficiality
Now its just neon lights
Reiterating a shift from initial hopefulness to a superficial environment
Momma told me I lost my mind
Reference to criticism from a maternal figure regarding mental state
Found it on Sunset and vine
Rediscovery of a sense of self at a specific location (Sunset and Vine) (repeated)
High and lost in California
Repeated feeling of being elevated and disoriented in California
Guess I didn't read the warning
Reflecting on the failure to heed a warning or advice (repeated)
Lost in California
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing sense of being lost in California
Lost in California
