Red Hot Chili Peppers – Strip My Mind Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree with many things you folks have said and only offer that this song could mean many, many different things.

I, however, would like to play devil's advocate and introduce the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" theory.. 'Please don't strip my mind' - allow me to keep my precious memories of my past. Time/age, please do not rob me of my beautiful past experiences and please let me remember today exactly as it looks and I feel right at this moment.

Thoughts?

agreed (on more than one topic). but regarding arthur v. author, i would say it is "author jaded" - for the sole reason that the entire song is referencing past events and how other people perceive them

agreed, Frusciante is a king and this does sound like something from his heroin-laden estranged and lonely solo act. Rock on
