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."

San Cisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You’re looking for some place to go
(For some place to go)
Well you didn’t mean to hurt them
But now he’s bleeding on the floor
(Bleeding on the floor)
You were feeling good
(Thought you’d have one more)
But now look at you
You’re paralytic on the floor
(Laying on the floor)
And it’s the stories that you hear
Oh sometimes it will let you see
Don’t you know that’s all you need
Don’t you know that’s all you need
These lyrics from San Cisco's song Lyall describe a night out that has gone terribly wrong. The singer is looking for somewhere to go, but as the night progresses, they become increasingly intoxicated, leading to a violent altercation with someone. Despite their regret at causing harm to someone else, they are now paralyzed on the floor themselves. The final lines of the song suggest that it is the stories we hear that can provide us with insight and understanding, and that perhaps this is all the singer needs to move forward from this difficult moment.
On a deeper level, these lyrics speak to the consequences of reckless behavior. The singer's desire to have one more drink has led to physical harm for both themselves and someone else. The use of night lights as a backdrop emphasizes the danger and unpredictability of the situation.

Under the night lights
Amidst the city's night lights
You’re looking for some place to go (For some place to go)
You're searching for a place to hang out or party at
Well you didn’t mean to hurt them
You didn't intend to harm anybody
But now he’s bleeding on the floor (Bleeding on the floor)
However, someone is now injured and bleeding on the ground
You were feeling good
You were experiencing positive emotions
So you thought you’d have one more (Thought you’d have one more)
With the positive emotions, you decided to drink more alcohol
But now look at you
But the situation has turned out badly
You’re paralytic on the floor (Laying on the floor)
You're now unable to move due to excessive alcohol consumption
And it’s the stories that you hear
What you hear from others or your own experiences
Oh sometimes it will let you see
Sometimes it gives you the notion or lesson
Don’t you know that’s all you need
You should understand that this is all you need to learn
Don’t you know that’s all you need
You should understand that this is all you need to learn
