| @[PussycatDolls4evs:9529] Dope dick is a situation where a man can't get it up cuz he has done too many drugs. Anthony Kiedis is a recovering heroin and cocaine addict (in active addiction when this song was written) so I don't think the lyrics are as literal as you might think. I don't think it's all just a straightforward chain of events, I think they are personal metaphors or word plays that symbolize different aspects of his life during that time. I, too, am a person in long term recovery and I can relate to some of these feelings and events at a fundamental level. He divulges a lot about his personal experiences in active addiction and, later, his recovery in his autobiography "Scar Tissue". It's an awesome read and is very insightful into the history, life and soul of the wonders that are Anthony Kiedis and RHCP. He is such a beautiful writer (obviously, haha). This book really changed my life. You should check it out, you won't be able to put it down, I promise. :) | |
