Cold in California
Ashe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve been chasing a rainbow, wound up at your door, wanna see the other side
It’s not quite like I imagined, like I did before
When you’re pouring all your heart out
But you’re lying on the floor
All these cigarettes and hotels, could be what you’re looking for
But it’s not what you expected and you’re left wanting more
Don’t mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
See everybody thinks they know ya
They’re only seeing what they wanna
Don’t mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
We can dance in the streets with the sun upon our skin and wake up feeling burned
Under stars, we could freeze cause we’ve gotten used to heat where seasons never turn
It’s not quite like I imagined, like I did before
When you’re pouring all your heart out
But you’re lying on the floor
All these cigarettes and hotels, could be what you’re looking for
But it’s not what you expected and you’re left wanting more
Don’t mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
See everybody thinks they know ya
They’re only seeing what they wanna
Don’t mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
Talk about the pretty parts
The ones you see on film
Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill
Don’t talk about the lonely parts, the loneliness you feel
You probably always will
Cause it gets dark in California
I know it well better than most ya
Don’t mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
See everybody thinks they know ya
They’re only seeing what they wanna
Don’t mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
The first verse of Ashe's song "Cold in California" talks about the struggles of trying to achieve a certain goal, represented by the metaphor of gold. The character in the song is tired and has been working hard but still can't reach what they are looking for. They have been chasing a rainbow, which represents a dream or something that's unattainable. They end up at someone's door, and they want to see the other side, which could mean a different perspective or a change of scenery. The second verse speaks about the reality of the situation. Despite pouring their heart out, the character in the song is lying on the floor, feeling disillusioned. They acknowledge that they are engaging in vices like cigarettes and hotels, which could be what they wanted, but ultimately, it's not what they expected, and they are left wanting more. The chorus serves as a reminder that no matter what people say, it still gets cold in California, which could mean that even in a place as sunny and warm as California, people still experience challenges and hardships.
The bridge speaks to the duality of California. There are the pretty parts that people often see on film and believe to be true, like happiness, skinny legs, and living on a hill, but there are also lonely parts that people don't talk about, like feeling isolated and alone. The character in the song knows this reality all too well and tries to remind others that it still gets cold in California, meaning that there are struggles and hardships that are not always apparent to outsiders.
