Warlocks
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've gotta megatropolis in my hand
And a, subterranean marching band
Makin' noise for the man in the Vatican
And a
A little package and off we go
Oh, ticky ticky tackita tic tac toe
We've got another thing coming
And that's our show, well
Every night I go looking for you
Everyone in the world adores you
A little pocket of something kind
To find your reason
Coming up on it everyday for
Look at me and it's what I stay for
A little locket of fantasy
That we believe in
Lilacs and contraband
I've got Santa Monica in my hand
A little, Beatlemania when I can
And I've got two big bags of old Japan
Ring side and blow-by-blow
Another, main event at the old rainbow
We're comin', right on top of the tupelo
When she looks just like Brigitte Bardot
Every night I go looking for you
Everyone in the world adores you
A little pocket of something kind
To find your reason
Coming up on it every day for
Look at me and it's what I stay for
A little locket of fantasy
That we believe in
Make a deal with Uncle Weezer
Sign your name to claim
China Chow will try to please her
Sweetness came from Jane
Warlocks in wonderland
I've gotta, Rockapotamus in my hand
With a, happy ending that's made of sand
With a little bit of lovin' is all I can
Every night I go looking for you
Everyone in the world adores you
A little pocket of something kind
To find your reason
Coming up on it every day for
Look at me and it's what I stay for
A little locket of fantasy
That we believe in
Every night I go looking for you
Everyone in the world adores you
A little pocket of something kind
To find your reason
Coming up on it every day for
Look at me and it's what I stay for
A little locket of fantasy

The lyrics to Red Hot Chili Peppers' song 'Warlocks' are complex and enigmatic, combining vivid imagery and wordplay to paint a surreal picture of a world that is simultaneously familiar and strange. The opening lines set the tone, describing 'warlocks in wonderland' holding a 'megatropolis' in their hands and leading a 'subterranean marching band'. The lyrics then shift to a more personal perspective, with the singer talking about a 'little package' that they carry with them as they go on their search for meaning and connection.
The themes of searching and longing are central to the song, with the repeated refrain of 'Every night I go looking for you' conveying a sense of restlessness and yearning. The lyrics also reference a number of cultural touchstones, from 'Beatlemania' to Brigitte Bardot, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time and place that may only exist in the singer's imagination. The chorus, with its focus on finding 'a little pocket of something kind' and 'a little locket of fantasy that we believe in', speaks to the human need for connection and meaning in a world that can often seem chaotic and confusing.

Warlocks in wonderland
Feeling like magic and mystery surrounds them
I've gotta megatropolis in my hand
Feeling powerful and in control of the big city
And a, subterranean marching band
Hearing music and sounds from underground
Makin' noise for the man in the Vatican
Making noise for those in power, those at the top
And a
A little package and off we go
Taking a small but important item and heading out
Oh, ticky ticky tackita tic tac toe
Rhythmically playing a game with words and sounds
I know, everybody's Eskimo
Aware that everyone is different and unique
We've got another thing coming
We are confident and prepared for whatever comes our way
And that's our show, well
This is what we offer, what we bring
Every night I go looking for you
Searching for something or someone meaningful
Everyone in the world adores you
Feeling like this thing or person is universally loved and appreciated
A little pocket of something kind
Finding something small but significant
To find your reason
To discover the purpose or meaning behind something
Coming up on it everyday for
Encountering it frequently
Look at me and it's what I stay for
Finding meaning and purpose in this search
A little locket of fantasy
A small piece of dreamlike imagination
That we believe in
Something that we hold onto and trust in
Lilacs and contraband
Unexpected and illegal items mixed with something beautiful and fragrant
I've got Santa Monica in my hand
Having control and power over a popular and desirable location
A little, Beatlemania when I can
Experiencing excitement and craziness like that of a Beatles fan
And I've got two big bags of old Japan
Being in possession of exotic and valuable items from another country
Ring side and blow-by-blow
Observing closely, watching every detail
Another, main event at the old rainbow
Another exciting and important moment at a popular location
We're comin', right on top of the tupelo
Moving forward, advancing towards something important
When she looks just like Brigitte Bardot
Seeing someone who resembles a famous and iconic actress
Make a deal with Uncle Weezer
Negotiating with someone who holds power but is also familiar
Sign your name to claim
Making a commitment to possess or acquire something
China Chow will try to please her
Someone will attempt to make another person happy
Sweetness came from Jane
A kind and good-hearted person did something nice
I've gotta, Rockapotamus in my hand
Feeling in control of something powerful and beast-like
With a, happy ending that's made of sand
Feeling optimistic but also aware that things may be temporary
With a little bit of lovin' is all I can
Recognizing that love is important, but may be all one can offer

on Californication
People who harness the power of the mind try to manipulate your emotions
Young girls aspire to Hollywood fame and fortune while reciting memorable movie quotes
If you desire superficial fame and materialistic success, California is the place to be
California represents the epitome of the quintessential Western society
Although the sun rises in the East, California remains a constant and established location in contrast to the ever-changing world
Hollywood creates and sells the illusion of the California dream
Spend a lot of money to prevent or delay the physical symptoms of aging
The superficial appearance of celebrities can be deceiving; they may be fighting a personal battle to maintain their image
The rarities and impossible things that are unique to California
The explicit and suggestive nature of the entertainment industry in California
Marry me and be my inspiration to create new things and leave a mark in the world
Young women with information and resources at their disposal may make decisions that lead them down certain paths, such as becoming pregnant at a young age
Owning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a symbol of achieving fame and fortune, representative of the Californian dream
Despite space being seen as the most uncertain and mysterious frontier, the idea of it is created by Hollywood and is not a reality
Kurt Cobain, who died before the song was written, may still be listening to music in another realm
The fictional planet Alderaan from Star Wars represents another aspect of the Californian dream or illusion created by Hollywood
People in California are often raised with the idea that control over population is important and necessary
Everyone has experienced being controlled or manipulating others in some way, which is not limited to people being on vacation
While destruction can lead to difficult times, it can also provide the opportunity for new and creative things to be born
Earthquakes, which may be seen as destructive and terrifying, can also be seen as inspiring or beneficial, similar to how a girl's guitar strings vibrate to produce beautiful music
Even in the face of disaster, the draw and allure of the Californian dream or illusion created by Hollywood remains strong
There is no way to measure someone's mental or emotional state, but perhaps you crave these superficial things that come with the Californian illusion
