Mind Screw: The lyrics of "Hotel California" constantly keep you just slightly confused about what exactly is going on. Even the band isn't really sure what its about: according to Don Henley, the song is about the problems one encounters when you spend your life seeking fame and suddenly get it; Frey says its about slowly losing one's hopes and dreams as life wears you down; Walsh says its about both; and when he was asked, Schmit famously shrugged his shoulders and said, "How the fork should I know, man..."note This is an appropriate response; Schmit had not yet joined Eagles when the song was recorded. There are three main Epileptic Trees about the song. The first is that it is a deconstructed Ode to Intoxication. The second is that it is referencing a religious cult (everything from the Manson Family to Satanism to the Church of Scientology to the Elan School in Maine has been suggested). The third, sometimes compared to a short musical The Twilight Zone (1959) episode, is when the lyrics are taken literally. The Hotel California is an Inn Between the Worlds that lures in passersby and traps them in a paradise while it slowly makes them forget the world. The final two verses of the song are the protagonist realizing that This Isn't Heaven. | |
