Savior Lyrics
You were always my favorite
Always my man-All in a hand
Now that I can-always my man
No one here is to blame for
Misunderstand- All in a hand
All that I am-All in a hand
Affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra
The more I have something to bring
And now I see you in a beautiful
And different light
He’s just a man and any damaging done
Will be all right
Call out my name
Call and I came
Forgiving your behavior
He’s just a man-All in a hand
Anyone can-Always my man
Look at me who could raise you
Face in the sand-Safe in your hand
Always my man-All in a hand
And we’re loving up the me nots
The flowers in your flower pot
Are dancing on your table tops
And now I see you in a beautiful
And different light
He’s just a man and everything he does
Will be all right
Call out my name
Call and I came
The life you have narrated
You were my man
Anthony laughed it off when and interviewer asked him if the song was about christ. And seeing as the man wrote 'Shallow Be Thy Game' on the previous album I would sincerely doubt it! ('I will be your heretic')
I always thought it was about John too until I read an interview with Anthony in which he says it's about coming to peace with his father. And not blaming his father for any of (anthonys) personal demons. Because it was his father who introduced him to sex, fame and the hollywood party life at an early age. (dare i say drugs too, yes i believe drugs have a slight relevance in this song but i dont want people jumping on me for saying that)
Some of the lines must have been written with John in mind, John had just returned to the band after a seven year silent conflict with Anthony. Saving the band from a possible near breakup.
This is right because there is an interview on youtube with hid dad talking about anthony and he says that savior is about written him.

Love all the Christians trying to relate every little thing to god.... I believe this song is about his father Blackie Dammet, and re-accepting him into his life.
what this song is about it anthony losing his first guitarist Slovak, to heroin, thats why they wrote this song, its not about christ haha, anthony is jewish anyway
Come on guys, it's about his Dad, Blackie Dammet.
AK doesn't blame him or hold any grudge against him for the way he was raised. With the drugs, girls, etc. He's using this song as an opportunity to finally say that.
EXACTLY what i thought
EXACTLY what i thought
After reading Scar Tissue, i think it could be about his dad. He wasnt a great father at all but Anthony still loves him, and idolized him as a young kid even though he sent him down a terrible path in life. Anthony is on good terms with him now, and has made him a part of his son, Everly's, life. So you could say Anthony forgave him for all the the things he was exposed to too young
Dusting off your savior Forgiving any behavior He's just a man All in a hand
The song is about his Father, Blackie Dammett. Anthony Kiedis sais he forgives him for whatever he has done (some people would say bad parenting) and that his father makes him all that he is.
i feel its about someone who died close to anthony or the band, and how he never fully appreciated the man until he was dead and he sees him and life overal differently now that this man is dead
so hillel..
so hillel..
could be dubya... never saw it that way thougth don't know really the meaning of this song, but i think each other has it's own opinion of it's meaning, and that's awesome. this guys (RHCP) are the best band ever... but thats what i bealive, doesn'y mean it really is.
i think it pretty obvious its about hillel slovak, forgiving him for all the bad things he did and remembering him for all the good etc etc basically what sean7711 said :D
I don't know what it's about but it gets me somewhere inside. Such a gorgeous song........ I think Dubya might have a point, who knows
