The Zephyr Song Lyrics
He's happy. He's in love. He's sooooooo happy, just listen to him. Seriously...the Chili Peppers...LISTEN TO THEM! You will be a better person.
I hope you eventually learned, this song is not happy. Its not about god, its not about a woman, its not about any stupid mindless thing you think of. Its about a life affair with heroin. Don't believe me, go find some, shoot just a tiny, come back in six months and tell me how ya feel.

1st i wanna say this song totally kicks ass..i mean WOW RHCP has done it again...ok now for wat i think the meaning is: i think this is a type of obscure love song..as u all probably know the meanigs behind anythony's lyrics are sometimes hard to find, but i think this is a love song talkin about flying away to someplace with ur love in a zephyr, just the 2 of u and just having a blast...well thats my take on it..once again AWESOME SONG!..later guys/chicks
when i listen to this.. i think about weed and wat it does.. i dont know y.. it just does.. no im not a pothead anymore.. and yes this song rocks
@bonnerz Yeah, I never thought this song was about love, I thought it was about being high as a kite. Whatever drug of choice, ecstacy, weed, whatever, I mean, come on

"Pick it up it's not too strong for you Take a piece and pass it on"
"Pick it up it's not too strong for you Take a piece and pass it on"
That has to be about shrooms or acid or something, right?

I hope i'm not yelled at for saying this but i think this song is the highest point on the new disk, i mean the new disk is absolutely christ (i'm almost certain it takes home album of the year), every song is worth listening too, but this song just transcends above all others. The melody is beautiful, and the lyrics are equally as beautiful. The meaning isn't necessarily important, not fully knowing what it means makes the song that much better. Truely a great song by a truely great band.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are gods of the industry
a zephyr is acctually a gentle wind not to show you up but i think it makes a little more sense. the song is still great ... after watching a bio on the red hot chili peppers i have a whole new respect for them.
Can I get your hand to write on Just a piece of lead to bite on What am I to fly my kite on Do you want to flash your light on
I think that atleast is about needing something to hold on to, to help you through something. Leaving a light on is supposed to let you get home. a String is why you fly a kite with (hold onto it with), Lead is a soft metal, so isnt good to bite on (people bite on things when going through pain, etc...). The hand to write on, using someone elses hand to write on would be writing your number...
I think the chorus is just about letting go... Just finding a place to be happy, to get away from your problems and the world.
The song is about the Zephyr boys in an area in LA called dogtown in the 70s when modern skateboarding came about. The Z-boys were a group of surfers that when there weren't any waves to surf they would go to sears cut clay wheels off roller blades and drill them into a piece of wood. They had to do this because after skateboards died out in the 60s as just another trend, skateboards were no longer produced. The reason the Z-boys skated was the practice their surfing. They skated with such style and uniqueness that people could not help but want to watch. Being that RHCP are from Cali and generally in the same punk rock skater scene as the Z-boys it makes sense that this song would be about the revolution of skateboarding.
"Rebellin, a liberator Find a way to be a skater Rev it up to levitator Super friendly aviator Take a look its on display - for you Coming down no not today"
At that time skateboarders were looked at as outcasts and anti-social. Skateboarding was a rebellion.
Also when he says "we'll find a place together" is about them finding a place to surf or skate. As back then skate parks did not exist.
Hopefully this helped you all! Here's the link to the movie about the Z-boys and the evolution of skateboarding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpaw__fOOtA
This is a song about surfing.
Zephyr is a legendary and world famous surf/skateboard shop down in SoCal.
The song is pretty straight forward as long as you understand that reference and are aware of Tony's affinity to the ocean. It's about the perfect day out with that special someone.
@secretsins This is also a nice interpretation. Surfing, when you can really do that, must be similar like flying. The joy, being together with the elements of water or air... Yep, this is the way of imagination I like, thank you :)

This song just makes me feel really happy
I generally hate the old cliché that so many songs are about drugs but this one in my opinion is about being high, probably together with someone else.
