Malibu Lyrics

Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How'd you get so desperate?
How'd you stay alive?

Help me, please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh, come on be alive again
Don't lay down and die!

Hey, hey
You know what to do
Oh, baby, drive away from Malibu

Get well soon
Please don't go any higher
How are you so burnt when
You're barely on fire?

Cry to the angels
I'm gonna rescue you
I'm gonna set you free tonight, baby
Pour over me

Hey, hey
We're all watching you
Oh, baby, fly away to Malibu
Cry to the angels
And let them swallow you
Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu

And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And the sun goes down
I walk into the waves
And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And I would

And I knew
Love would tear you apart
Oh, and I knew
The darkest secret of your heart

Hey, hey
I'm gonna follow you
Oh baby, fly away, yeah, to Malibu
Oceans of angels
Oceans of stars
Down by the sea is where you
Drown your scars

I can't be near you
The light just radiates
I can't be near you
The light just radiates

What is the Meaning of Malibu?

This emotionally charged track explores themes of desperation, survival, and liberation. The lyrics seem to narrate a struggle with addiction, possibly reflecting on frontwoman Courtney Love's personal experiences. Malibu is portrayed as a place of escape and potential healing, but also a symbol of isolation and self-destruction. The repeated references to celestial bodies could indicate a desire for transcendence or rebirth. There's a palpable sense of yearning for freedom from inner demons and the darkness that accompanies them. However, the concluding lines suggest an inability to get close due to an overwhelming 'radiating' light - perhaps indicating the destructive nature of fame or intense scrutiny.
