Description
It's as if someone finally stopped chasing on a wet highway between neon and the night wind. There's a weariness of survival in his words, of constantly "holding on," and a strange pleasure in being alone and not afraid of the silence. Everything seemed hard-earned: the glitz, the pain, and the realisation that love can easily turn into business if you're not careful. But under that cold light, something alive still flickers – that very Californian feeling when you're walking in the rain and suddenly realise: life can be tough, but it's still your own.
Lyrics and translation
Original
We can spend a day at the beach.
Trippin' on your love, yeah.
Ich kenn' das High Life, ich kenn' allein sein.
Ich kenn' den Preis des Lebens, zahl' in Kleinschein.
Zwanzig Jahre Sturm, trag' die Schmerzen in meinen Genen, dreh' Gefühle inside out wie auch Folien roll'n im Wind, yeah. Ich kenn' das High
Life, ich kenn' allein sein. Ich kenn' den Preis des Lebens, zahl' in Kleinschein.
Baby, I got fivehundertfünfzig auf Hit.
Get rich or die tryin', zwischen alles und nichts. Schreib' mich prosaischer, ich hab' Demons on deck. Aus Liebe wurde
Business, wurde vieles außer real friends.
Kann denen nicht erklären, wie die Welt dreht. Doch weiß, ich kann nur verlier'n, wenn ich safe spiel'.
In meinem Kopf fahr' ich Melrose up and down, nenn' es California Love.
California Love, was ich in meinem Herz trag'.
Fahr'n auf Drop Top in the rain, weil der Regen lässt nicht nach. Mach's für die M's, mach's für die Shows.
Mach's für Dinge, die nicht bleiben, Jahre schon.
Zwanzig Jahre Sturm, trag' die Schmerzen in meinen Genen, dreh' Gefühle inside out wie auch Folien roll'n im Wind, yeah. Ich kenn' das High
Life, ich kenn' allein sein. Ich kenn' den Preis des Lebens, zahl' in
Kleinschein. Zwanzig Jahre Sturm, trag' die Schmerzen in meinen Genen, dreh'
Gefühle inside out wie auch Folien roll'n im Wind, yeah.
Ich kenn' das High Life, ich kenn' allein sein. Ich kenn' den Preis des
Lebens, zahl' in Kleinschein.
English translation
We can spend a day at the beach.
Trippin' on your love, yeah.
I know the high life, I know being alone.
I know the price of life, pay in small bills.
Twenty years of storm, carry the pain in my genes, turn feelings inside out like foils roll in the wind, yeah. I know the high
Life, I know being alone. I know the price of life, pay in small bills.
Baby, I got five hundred and fifty on hit.
Get rich or die tryin', between everything and nothing. Write me more prosaically, I have Demons on deck. Love became
Business, became a lot of things except real friends.
Can't explain to them how the world turns. But know that I can only lose if I play safe.
In my head I drive Melrose up and down, call it California Love.
California Love, what I carry in my heart'.
Ride on Drop Top in the rain, because the rain won't let up. Do it for the M's, do it for the shows.
Do it for things that don't last for years.
Twenty years of storm, carry the pain in my genes, turn feelings inside out like foils roll in the wind, yeah. I know the high
Life, I know being alone. I know the price of life, I'll pay it
Small note. Twenty years of storm, carry the pain in my genes, turn
Feelings inside out like foils roll in the wind, yeah.
I know the high life, I know being alone. I know the price of that
Life, pay in small bills.
