As Can Be

I agree with kizzykaz...for the most part...

to me i just use it as " I'm _____ as can be "

whatever you're feeling just feel that way to the highest extent you can so that it's true....happy, sad, mad, depressed, etc...

one of my favortite of his songs...

that cant b it. every song on niandra lades except from running away into u was written and recorded while he was still in the chili peppers during the making of bssm

This album was recorded while he was with the Chili Peppers, he even said in an interview he recorded it in the house he was staying with when recording BSSM.

I've always been attracted to that line There's no more me

I think we all know nothing about his life and where he was before or what he was doing. You can be on drugs and disappear from this whole and still be functional. If you see him on SNL he is on drugs and fuckin' gone. Fuck that whole he was on red wine and weed. He already saw himself gone, When youre in that state you no longer feel that you are anything that you were. There is no more me, I'm as happy can be..

It's like a show. Like what do you mean I'm not doing ok? Can't you see I'm as happy as can be?

It's about Toni.

John broke the band code taking her on the road so she obviously meant everything to him at the time. They would sit in hotel rooms on the last RHCP tour and just hang out with each other and play instruments and record. You can hear her in some of the Untitled's.

-- Do you see? There's no more me. -- Toni and John wore each others clothes, they became each other. They were in love and they were happy together, happy as can be.

i think that this song is about being happy as johns out of red hot chili peppers and has no worries in his life. he thinks that he can do what he wants and live an outrageous lifestyle.

we all know that that didnt happen after a while.

yeah but how often did he and antony sit down together and talk things through. death was a big part of it and that really reflects on this song death is not near.

Its about being happy, thats it. Nothing more.

The album was recorded after his break with the Chili Peppers. The song is about the annihilation of the ego "Do you see, there's no more me, I'm happy as can be".
