California

The song "California" by LIT killah delves into the complexities of dealing with fame and a tumultuous love life. The lyrics express the artist's struggle to balance the demands of his career with the emotional turmoil of a relationship. Despite having money, symbolized by 'bille' de cien' (hundred-dollar bills), the artist feels that material wealth cannot add shine to his 'chain,' a metaphor for his life or personal happiness. The constant pull of professional obligations, such as being awaited in Los Angeles and an overflowing inbox, is contrasted with his inability to let go of a girl who is driving him crazy.

The chorus of the song reveals a deeper layer of the artist's emotional state. He talks about learning to fly, which could symbolize his rise to fame and the freedom it brings, but also the need to escape from a past love. The mention of 'California' suggests a physical and metaphorical journey to a place that represents new beginnings and opportunities. However, the repeated line 'Estar triste es más fácil en first class' (Being sad is easier in first class) highlights the irony that despite the luxuries afforded by success, emotional pain remains the same. The artist is trying to erase the memories of a former lover, likening them to 'gigas' (gigabytes) that need to be deleted from his memory.

The song also touches on the superficial aspects of relationships in the context of fame. References to expensive gifts like Cartier and the nightlife scene suggest a lifestyle that is disconnected from genuine emotional connections. The artist's internal conflict is evident as he grapples with the remnants of a past relationship, symbolized by finding an ex's belongings, and the realization that he might have seen her with someone else. The narrative of 'California' is a poignant reflection on the loneliness and disconnection that can accompany fame, and the universal challenge of moving on from a lost love.
