San Cisco have spent the last year graduating high school, performing at some festivals and playing round town pretty much every weekend. They have also produced their first EP called Golden Revolver, which is set for release early 2011. Confident with stage presence & strong with vocals, San Cisco's upbeat summer pop continues to impress.
Jordi says: "San Cisco is a place situated between reality & a dream state. It is kind of like a huge cauldron we put all our creative input into, mix it together to make a super explosion of fantastic, wild creations. This is San Cisco."
Golden Revolver
San Cisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe you will find what you're looking for; is heavenly the sky
Slow down and read the signs
Cause you're going too fast and you're leaving us behind.
So why would I try?
When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?
Hiding away so no one can trace them
You duck and weave through the maze of hatred,
And found yourself something but you kept it all
So why would I try?
When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?
You shot me with your golden revolver
Before I could take mine out of the holster
And you left me there lying on the ground,
And you were nowhere, nowhere to be found.
So why would I try?
When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?
Ooooooooh!
Ooooooooh!
Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh!
Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh!
Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh!
Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh!
The lyrics to San Cisco's song Golden Revolver convey a message about slowing down and taking the time to appreciate life's little moments. The first verse encourages the listener to open their eyes and look around, as there is beauty everywhere, even in the sky. The second verse speaks to the idea that love can be found in unexpected places, and it is important to keep searching for it despite the challenges that may arise. However, the chorus repeats the line "why would I try? When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?" This suggests that in the face of unkindness, it may feel easier to give up on love and life altogether.
The final verse brings in the metaphor of a golden revolver, which represents the harmful actions of someone who may have once held love and kindness in their heart but has become hurtful and destructive. The singer has been shot by this person and left to suffer alone. The repeating "Oooooooohs" at the end of the song evoke a sense of loneliness and longing, further emphasizing the feelings of loss and abandonment.
Overall, the lyrics of Golden Revolver encourage the listener to slow down and appreciate the world around them while also acknowledging the pain that can come from unkindness and betrayal.

Hiding away so no one can trace them
Love often hides from those who seek it and won't reveal itself easily.
You duck and weave through the maze of hatred,
Navigating through a world that can be unkind and discouraging is difficult, but it's necessary to find what you're looking for.
And found yourself something but you kept it all
You finally discovered what you were looking for, but you chose to keep it all to yourself.
You shot me with your golden revolver
You hurt me deeply and irreversibly.
Before I could take mine out of the holster
You attacked me before I had the chance to defend myself.
And you left me there lying on the ground,
You hurt me badly and didn't even stay to help me recover.
And you were nowhere, nowhere to be found.
Once you hurt me, you disappeared and left me alone to deal with the damage.

lyrics:
Take your blinkers off this time
And maybe, maybe you will find
What you're looking for is heavily disguised
Slow down and read the signs
Cause you're going too fast and you're leaving us behind
So why would I try
When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?
You can find love in the most extraordinary places
Hiding away, so no one can trace them
You duck and weave through the maze of hatred
And found yourself some, but you kept it all
So why would I try
When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?
You shot me with your golden revolver
Before I could take mine out of the holster
And you left me there, lying on the ground
And you were nowhere, nowhere to be found
So why would I try
When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?
