It's about living a life of excess or "sin" (for want of a better phrase), it applies to anything addictive (drugs, alcohol, sex etc etc)

Yeh its about sin and being trapped in the Californian hedonistic lifestyle that becomes a sort of prison.

But what is Geryy Raffertie's "Baker Street" all about?

Baker Street is about trying to get some feckin business done in Baker Street but not being able to because of all the American and Japanese tourists looking for Sherlock Holmes.

Hotel California is about being rich and stoned all the feckin time.

All Radiohead songs are about nice young university graduates trying to imagine what it might be like to have trauma in their lives.

HTH.

Baker Street was also known for other things in a certain demi-monde in the 1970's and 80's.

Hotel California was about ripping off an old Jethro Tull tune and making a packet out of it
