Song lyrics that interested me the most!

Who has not heard of the song "Hotel California" by Eagles? If not, go and listen to it(carefully) now. You would not concentrate much on the lyrics of this great song as you are driven by awesome soul touching guitar play all the way till the end.

As I said the lyrics is most interesting part of this song. The meaning of it is difficult to get for the first time you go through it. The song is a great narrative tale about traveler becoming trapped in mystic nature of a spooky-dungeon like night hotel, if you consider the crude meaning of the song as-it-is. But it is metaphorically awesome. It can be even thought of the tale of a person suffering from drug addiction trying to relinquish it but in vain. At first he casually stops in, not really wanting or looking for anything but some relaxation. The scene is so comfortable and welcoming there is no immediate desire to leave, but after a while it starts to become obvious to him that he is trapped in a sweet-smeared-nightmare. At last in desperation he believes that there is no way out and had been caught up fully in.

Let me post the lyrics here too, though you can find it in other numerous lyrics websites.

Eagles - Hotel California Lyrics

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
