Red Hot Chili Peppers – Stadium Arcadium Lyrics 17 years ago
First go at one of these, so sorry if I miss the mark. Secondly, I don't care if I do, it's what the song means to me, so I felt like sharing. When I say He, I mean it could be anyone, not any band member in particular.

"Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you [[He meets a girl he likes]]
I hope I get what you deserve [[He thinks the world of her and wants to feel the same way back]]
And this is where I find
Smoke surround's your perfect face [[Sad emotion making it obscure to be able to meet "face to face". Feelings of "not being good enough"]]
And I’m falling [[Downward spiral of depression]]
Pushin' a broom out into space [[Something that is unique to a person that no one does, but helps the person. You know, that one thing that you do that helps you whenever you feel down?]]
And this is where I found the way [[He toughens up and makes his move]]

The Stadium Arcadium [[Picture perfect place]]
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon) [[Picture Perfect scenario]]
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you) [[He is mentally rebuilding himself and trying to fix his flaws, for her]]
State of the art until the clouds come crashing [[To be the best there will be till the day the world ends]]
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon [[It may be unbelievable, but it could happen, so don't be quick to judge]]
(Before and afternoon)
Well I’m forming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don’t mind asking now [[Now he feels confident about talking to her about love and his feelings]]

Alone inside my forest room and it’s stormy [[Bad self esteem/loneliness]]
I never thought I’d be in bloom [[Never thought he could fall in love]]
But this is where I start [[but now he has]]

Derelict days, and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd that it cannot phase [[no idea]]

And I’m calling [[he made his move]]

Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal get's what the animal needs [[he messed up, possibly due to something that is very usual or common, hence the "media" or the "norm"]]

And I’m sorry [[pretty self-explanitory]]

And this is where I find
Rays of dust that wrap around your citizen [[Now he sees her in the perfect light and right image]]
Kind enough to disavow [[he gets rid of his older, wrong, thoughts]]
This is where I stand [[and now he says he wont go back to his mistakes]]"

Well, there ya go. That's what I think. I don't care if I'm wrong or anything, just wanted to share.
