Growing up, I was told this song was from the devil, now I think it is contains more truth than the devil would want us to know. Not necessarily my favorite, but a current revisit because of its unashamed truth.
The Hotel California song used to just be odd words and good guitar! The truth is most people never bother to check the "man behind the curtain", because they are convinced they can never leeeave, anyways.
"I guess we're just prisoners here of our own device"(invisible contracts/trusts that we never know we entered into...but we did!)
Here are the closing lyrics of the song:
They stab it with their steely knives (dishonorable actions)
But they just can't kill the beast (that's true)
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door (lost in the flury of my paperwork)
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before (and before I was issued my SS number, a sovereign memory)
Relax, said the nightman (Hello, I am from the government, I am here to help you, sign here.)
We are programed to recieve (Please sign here for your "freedom" at the barrel of a gun)
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave.
