A greatly debated and misunderstood topic. Many Christians believe it is a reference to Satanism. In reality, according to the Eagles themselves, they are speaking of the seductive nature of the L.A. music biz. But, it is far more exciting to trip on the possibility of evil musicians , so it's your call.

Much debated topic, some people think it was hell that they were referring to, I've even heard some say they were referring to drugs. The way I look at it, interpret it the way you want, cause it is a kick a** song.

You finally get where you think you want to be and find out you can't leave and it's not what you thought it would be.

Rumor has it they were criticizing the "satan worshipping" Led Zeppelin.
