California Dreaming
Royal Gigolos洀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me love
Hold me god
And I shout the sound for the soul
A portal
I travel through time
All my senses burn
The portal can learn
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
California
All the leaves are
California
California
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California
All the leaves are
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Hold me, my sweet
Hold me love
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
The lyrics of "California Dreaming" by Royal Gigolos is a modern rendition of the classic song by The Mamas & The Papas. The song starts with the singer asking to be held by their love, their sweet, and their God. As they shout the sound for the soul, they dive right into a portal, traveling through time. The experience is surreal and intense, all of their senses burn as they go through the portal. In this state of euphoria, they realize the portal has the power to learn and burn simultaneously. California and its natural scenery are the focus of the song as the leaves turn brown, and the sky turns gray. The singer has been for a walk on a winter's day, and even though they'd be safe and warm in L.A., they long to be in that state, "California dreaming" on such a winter's day. The song ends with the singer pleading to be held once more, asking their love to hold them tightly.

This song makes me feel so weird, sad, nostalgic and happy at the same time, it’s confusing but I love it
