Airborne Toxic Event, The - California Lyrics
Someday they’re going to write about us, living here in the shadow of this gathering dust,
As the waves build up and drown the light, while we’re hanging from buildings on a Saturday night.
And the words she said… I could barely hear over the blare of the speakers and the smell of beer,
As she got up to speak, she lifted her dress. I remember her face but I forget the rest.
Here in California, I was
Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr.
Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene,
All nightmares and daydreams
In California.
She said, “I got money, but I got no friends,” as we drove through the valley in her daddy’s Benz.
She said, “These pills wear off, but the pain don’t end. I never thought it would matter so much to pretend.”
And the thing about her that haunts me still: as her hands fell down to the steering wheel,
Here in California, I was
Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr.
Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene,
All nightmares and daydreams
In California.
And oh, I hope it’s clear: there’s no room for us anymore in the atmosphere,
But darling I always liked the desperation in your eyes,
The way you’d dance in the glow of the Hollywood Freeway lights.
Someday they’re gonna forget about us and we’ll wonder if we were ever good enough.
It hit me last night, in this song I heard, I remember the feeling but forget all the words.
Here in California, I was
Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr.
Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene,
All nightmares and daydreams
In California.

Airborne Toxic Event, The California Comments
This fucking band <3 love you guys
Perfect! :3
This band is amazing! So glad I happened to find them!💓🎶
The vocals here sound almost like country right up until the chorus.
...and it's not all the same in California. In fact, the scene in LA is very different from both San Francisco and San Diego, and VASTLY different from the cities and town that are not major cities along the coast.
I think whoever wrote these lyrics meant to convey that in the Entertainment Industry they're all stuck in the same scene and just a number.
Gave me goosebumps
The first time I watched this video, I cried. I'm not from California, but from Texas, yet the people, the struggle, and the success is quite similar. Thank you Airborne for such a beautiful song!
This song makes me happy I moved out of L.A. I feel like I'm making something out of myself out that place.
brazil love us!
