| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under the Bridge Lyrics
| 24 years ago
|
i saw anthony on some documentary saying that he was driving along the freeway in L.A once and he was really depressed. He felt like there was no one he could connect with and he was completely alone in the universe, so he started singing to himself, and this is what he sung. The verses at least.
The chorus is about how he didn't want to feel that lonely ever again, he wanted to go to the place he loves, which was being in a band, making music, and "making love with beautiful women" :).
the under the bridge downtown part is about when he was a drug addict, his only friend in the world was a drug contact called mario, and they lied to a mexican gang or something to be able to pass through this alley to get under a bridge in downtown L.A to use their drugs that they'd just got, and he said he regarded it as a real low point in his life.
So there you have it, under the bridge is about being lonely and depressed. |

i think it's about society has no room for childishness, how society "disarms" him of his childish behaviour when he grows up and cuts that part of him out, which is also a part of them. and then the years burn (go by) and he's left feeling sad that his youth is gone.
first time i heard this i thought it was about a school shooting, with a kid using violence to express his feelings (what i choose is my voice)

this song is about how the government is just jailing minor drug offenders so it looks like they're doing something about the drug problem when they ain't doing shit, cos u can still buy your crack even in hollywood. then they try and say the government does this to cover up the fact that they profit from the drug problems across america |

i reckon this song is about drug addiction, but using the metaphor of a tapeworm. the part where he says pull the tapeworm out of your ass is saying to get off drugs and leave the addictions. the bit that daron sings by himself is about how his using of drugs is accelarating his journey to old age and death - the drugs are killing you, so you should pull the tapeworm out of your ass.
