Song Meaning Californication Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Red Hot Chili Peppers hit song "Californication" is a compilation of stories and scenes that singer Anthony Kiedis has witnessed while in the city or throughout his daily life. The lyrics about "psychic spies in china' were inspired by a woman Anthony witnessed rambling on the street. The song also makes various references to films and pop-culture, including Star Wars and Star Trek through the lines "Space may be the final frontier but its made in a Hollywood basement" and "Alderaan's not far away."
As the singer himself told Uncut Magazine in 1999:
"Well, it’s a new word, so it’s open to interpretation. For me it’s about the process of the world being affected for better, for worse, for ugly, for beautiful by the art and culture that is born in this State.” - Kiedis, The Spice Boys, James McNair, Unknown Publication (accessed through TheChiliSource.com)

Chop Suey on Clear Channel's Banned List of Songs
Following the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001, "Chop Suey" found itself on a list with over 150 other songs which were recommended to be pulled from playlists of Clear Channel's 1100 radio stations. A list that would also include songs like "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" which might make sense to remove for hyper-sensitive listeners, but the list also include other songs like "In The Air Of The Night" by Phil Collins seemingly because it has the word "air" in the title. And you know, you can't have airplanes without air... so shame on us I guess?As singer Serj Tankian explains: "Our single “Chop Suey!” was taken off the airwaves by Clear Channel along with thousands of other songs, with the intention of, I don’t know what, to be honest. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was [taken] off. Any type of protest music, any type of the word “sky,” you know, “die,” “suicide.” It was just mind-numbing." - Tankian, The Fallout Over Clear Channel's Do-Not-Play List... Alison Stewart, The Washington Post (Oct 8, 2021)
Guitarist Daron Malakian was not concerned, as he told an interviewer: “In music, that’s a badge of honour... So many great rock bands have been banned. It’s almost like you’re not part of the cool group if you’re not banned once or twice. I think it made the song more popular.” - Malakian, The Story Behind The Song, Dave Everley, Metal Hammer (Apr 1, 2021)

Quite often, a band arrives in the studio with at least some material already prepared. Songwriters tend to have a habit of writing new music while on tour supporting the music they've already written. I mean, when you're traveling on the road for hours every day, it can be a great way to kill time. And the fact that they are on stage performing nearly every night means that the songwriter's brain is already functioning in "music" mode. So why not pick up a guitar while sitting in the back of the van heading from Flagstaff to Albequerque and jot some new ideas down?
Metallica is no stranger to this concept. Quite often, frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich would get together to flesh out a tune, and they would bring it to the studio to teach the other band members. But this would not be the case on St Anger, as Metallica intentionally entered the studio without anything pre-written. They wanted this album to be raw, spontaneous, and the result of a group effort. Even if that group was missing one of the four contributing pieces.
As producer Bob Rock explains:
"The idea is it should sound like a band getting together in the garage for the first time, only the band's Metallica." - Rock, Some Kind Of Monster
After Metallica's group effort had created enough songs, producer Bob Rock sat down with all of the material and began stitching it all together like Dr Frankenstein, cutting out parts of songs and rearranging them in his music production software.
"A lot of the songs were done in William Burroughs cut-and-paste fashion... There are movements in movie-making and in music where you take technology as an art and you actually abuse it. Some people use ProTools to trick and fool the listener, but we used it more as a creative tool to do something interesting and stretch boundaries. Technically, you'll hear cymbals go away and you'll hear bad edits. We wanted to disregard what everybody assumes records should be and throw out all the rules. I've spent 25 years learning how to do it the so-called right way. I didn't want to do that anymore." - Rock, 5 Things You Didn't Know About Metallica St Anger, Jon Weiderhorn, Revolver (Jun 5, 2018)
Results were mixed, as many fans, including James Hetfield himself, have admit that St Anger is not exactly their favorite album.
As he told Metal Hammer:
“For me, St Anger kind of stands alone. It’s more of a statement than an album. It’s more of the soundtrack to the movie, in a way. There’s some really interesting and cool riffs, some great songs on there. But sonically it sounds fragmented, which is exactly where we were at the point. But in that fragmentation it brought us together. So it was a very necessary piece of the puzzle to get us where we are today.” - Hetfield, When I'm Happy I'm Writing The Heaviest Riff Possible, Mick Wall, Metal Hammer (July 17, 2023)

Song Meanings Sweetness Jimmy Eat World
"Sweetness" which is a fan favorite from the band's catalog was essentially an incomplete track that was almost scrapped from the album.
"I just had this melody in my head and I was demoing it and singing it and kind of having a hard time with it. I almost didn't bring it to the band because I was thinking to myself, 'I can't just say nothing. I can't just use all these sort of alyrical whoahs for this much of a song.' " - Adkins; Pop Goes The Emo..., Brian Wallace, MTV, (July 26, 2001)
Fortunately Jim *did* bring the track to the band because the placeholder "whoas" have since become iconic.
