Hotel California In Fire And Flames
G3RSt Lyrics

On a dark desert highway
Driving down a lonely, eerie road in the dry desert, with barely any light to see by

Cool wind in my hair
The breeze blowing on my face and through my hair feels refreshing

The warm smell of colitas
I can smell sweet marijuana in the air, probably from nearby plants called colitas

Rising up through the air
The scent of colitas is getting stronger as I approach something

Up ahead in the distance
In the far distance I spotted something unusual

I saw a shimmering light
A flickering light caught my attention, it was not steady

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I started feeling weary and my vision was blurred as though I was dizzy

I had to stop for the night
I have no choice but to halt my journey for the night and rest my head somewhere

There she stood in the doorway
A woman was standing in front of me, blocking my way inside the building

I heard the mission bell
I could hear the chime of a bell ringing from a nearby church, signaling an important event or prayer

And i was thinking to myself
I was pondering deeply, reflecting on my life or the situation I'm in

This could be heaven or this could be hell
I feared that I might be in a place that could be both incredibly good and bad at the same time

Then she lit up a candle
The woman lit a candle, which gave me a sense of temporary comfort and warmth

And she showed me the way
She then led me to where I needed to go, like a guide or host helping me out

There were voices down the corridor
I could hear distant and indistinct noises coming from the hallway around the corner

I thought i heard them say
I could barely make out what the voices were saying, but it was as if they were calling out to me

Welcome to the hotel california
A greeting from a luxurious and appealing establishment called Hotel California

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
The hotel appears to be incredibly beautiful and has an attractive exterior or signage

There′s plenty of room at the hotel california
The hotel promises to have ample space or accommodations for their guests year-round

Any time of year, you can find it here
No matter which season or month, you can always locate the hotel with ease

Her mind is definitely twisted
The woman has a disturbed or unbalanced mentality

She's got her mercedes benz
The woman owns a luxurious and expensive car model made by Mercedes-Benz

She′s got a lotta pretty, pretty boys
The woman is associated with many attractive and eye-catching young men

That she calls friends
They are her acquaintances or social circle

How they dance in the courtyard
The boys do some sort of a performance or dance with each other in the open-air courtyard

Sweet summer sweat
As it is a hot summer night, the boys' sweat evaporates and is mingled with the sweet aroma of the flowers in the courtyard

Some dance to remember
Some people enjoy dancing to hold on to their memories of past good times

Some dance to forget
While others dance to forget or completely block out a traumatic or unpleasant memory

So i called up the captain
I requested to speak to a captain or authority figure

Please bring me my wine
I asked the captain to bring me a glass of wine

He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969
The captain denied my request, stating that the wine hasn't been available for quite some time

And still those voices they're calling from far away
Despite my tired state and previous noises, I could still hear faint sounds coming from afar

Wake you up in the middle of the night
The noises can be loud enough to awaken a person who is asleep

Just to hear them say
It seems that the voices are trying to get a message across to me, even if it's hard to comprehend

Welcome to the hotel california
The same welcome message is repeated, possibly for emphasis or to reinforce the allure of the hotel

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
The previous details of the hotel's exterior and inviting nature are reiterated

They′re livin′ it up at the hotel california
Individuals at the hotel are really enjoying and indulging in the amenities and luxuries there

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
It's not clear what constitutes the supposed nice surprise, but in any case, guests are reminded to bring their alibis as a form of defense or explanation

Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice
Mirrors have been installed on the ceiling, adding a glamorous and possibly hedonistic element to the decor, with the serving of expensive pink champagne also adding to the luxurious vibe

And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
The same woman from earlier now suggests that every person staying at the hotel is confined there by their own choices or decisions

In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast
In what seems to be a central area of the hotel, people have congregated for a lavish banquet or celebration of some sort

They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can′t kill the beast
The people are trying to defeat some entity or force using brute force, but they are unable to truly defeat it, no matter how many times they try

Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
My memories of what happened after that are vague, but I did start rushing towards the exit

I had to find the passage back to the place i was before
It became imperative that I locate where I entered or the path that would lead me back to where I came from

Good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
At some point, a night shift worker expressed their goodbye to me, but also mentioned that they are only programmed to receive guests, not necessarily help them

You can check out anyytime you like, but you can never leave
The final line, which repeats the welcome line, is suggesting that although you can leave the physical property of the hotel, you may never escape the hold that it has on you psychologically or emotionally.
