Pretty as a picture
Christian Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunshine turns the sky to gold
Warm warm, it's always warm here
I can't take the cold
Streets littered with diamonds
Every one's glistening
This whole world shines so brightly
She's pretty as a picture
She is like a golden ring
Circles me with love and laughter
I can't feel a thing
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and crawl
It's gonna rain down fire
It's gonna burn us all
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and sing
I can't feel a thing
She's pretty as a picture
She is like a golden ring
Circles me with love and laughter
And I-I I can't feel a thing
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and crawl
It's gonna rain down fire
It's gonna burn us all
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and sing
I can't feel a thing
Oh I can't feel.
Christian Kane's song "L.A." is a poignant take on his experiences in Los Angeles. Kane speaks of the unrelenting sunshine and warm weather that characterizes the city as he describes the beautiful women that he sees on every corner. The streets are littered with diamonds, imbuing the city with a sense of glamour and luxury that's hard to ignore.
Kane's lyrics also bring to light the sense of emptiness or numbness that can result from living a life filled with superficial pleasures. The city may be beautiful and enticing, but Kane feels empty and unfulfilled. He describes how he can't feel anything even when he's surrounded by love and laughter, painting a vivid picture of a man who has lost his way.

Pretty girl on every corner
At every turn there are beautiful women, but they do not bring me joy
Sunshine turns the sky to gold
The bright, sunny weather is a facade for something darker
Warm warm, it's always warm here
The warmth of Los Angeles does not bring warmth to my heart or soul
I can't take the cold
I cannot handle the reality of life in this city
Streets littered with diamonds
The city is full of superficial things that are ultimately meaningless
Every one's glistening
The surface-level beauty of the city is blinding and distracts from its true nature
This whole world shines so brightly
Every aspect of Los Angeles seems dazzling, but it is all empty and hollow
I can't see a thing
The overwhelming nature of the city has clouded my judgment and blinded me to the truth
She's pretty as a picture
There are stunning women in this city, but they do not fulfill me
She is like a golden ring
This woman is valuable and desirable, but ultimately unattainable and unsatisfying
Circles me with love and laughter
Despite her charm, I am still unfulfilled and lonely
I can't feel a thing
The void in my heart cannot be filled by superficial pleasures or material possessions
The sky's gonna open
A reckoning is coming, a time of judgment and punishment
People gonna pray and crawl
Those who have been blinded by the superficiality of this city will realize its true nature and beg for mercy
It's gonna rain down fire
The truth about the city will be revealed, and it will destroy everything in its path
It's gonna burn us all
No one will be spared from the consequences of living in a society built on vanity, greed, and materialism

I heard this first in the Angel series.
I nearly shed a man tear when I found out how well he can sing.

@Epic Mormon Brony If you watch season 5, they have Eve sing a song for Lorne. It's this song, and her future is bleak.
