Hotel Arizona

Song byWilco
in AlbumBeing There

Hotel in Arizona made us all wanna feel like stars

Rental cars and tinted windows, leave another number for me

Even if I make it through

That's just something that I have to get used to

That's just something I have to get used to

I feel some connection between you and me

Well I guess there's some direction maybe you can't see

Even at the interview, that's not something thatI'm gonna get used to

That's not something I'm gonna get used to

Hello, can you hear?

Hello, that's all there is, that's all there is

I guess all this history is just a mystery to me

One more worried whisper right in my ear

About this Song

Hotel Arizona by Wilco is a song that delves into themes of disillusionment and existential searching. Set against the backdrop of a transient hotel stay, the song reflects the band's exploration of identity and the transient nature of fame and success. The lyrics paint a picture of emotional and psychological displacement, a quest for authenticity amid superficial experiences. The poignant moments in the song include the introspective verses that capture the inner turmoil and yearning for something more substantial in life. Much of the song's power comes from its raw honesty and the universal quest for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.
