Torture Me Lyrics

Because I'm happy to be sad
I want it all I want it bad
Oh-oh - it's what I know

A vintage year for pop I hear
The middle of the end is near
Let's go - it's what I know

Torture me and torture me
It's forcin' me so torture
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me

All the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go - it's what I know

Torture me and torture me
It's forcin' me so torture
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me

The will of God is standing still
Brazilian children get their fill
Let's go...

Let's turn it up and dumb it down
The vision of your ultra sound
It so...

All the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go...

A vintage year for pop I hear
The middle of the end is near
It's so

Torture me and torture me
It's forcin' me so torture
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me

Torture me and torture me
It's forcin' me so torture
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me

this song actually sounds tortured..if that's even possible idk the way anthony drags out his "oohs" it makes me wanna give him a hug. when i first heard this song though, the first thing i screamed was "TRUMPET!" gotta love it..

Cover art for Torture Me lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

he's really depressed. talks about how pop is all over the media, even if the earth is almost gone-pop is there for people to hear about. it's like he's being tourtoured. feels like he';s in the middle of a storm... around the world ppl are in disasters, but ppl are stupid and just listen to the media, which is sickening

Well, first i wanna say hey, I'm new at sonmeanings..

This song is about depression , i agree. But i think " because I'm happy to be sad " shows that the song is also about persons that like to be sad, because it helps them to handle a hard situation.

I'm a totally Peppers fan and i have already fallen in love with Stadium Arcadium!

WOW. A traditional RHCP style song. It's great - new stuff like stadium arcadium - but keeping the old groove too. Great, upbeat yet downtowned song. The lyrics are clearly talking about a whirlwind of emotion and circumstance that is bringing him down. It's like everything is tormenting and torturing him and he'll just sit back at take it. He's 'happy to be sad' and he'll take the torture. Thanks to laurz, he feels like he's in the middle of a storm and around the world are disasters he can't stand.

Torture me really reminds me of throw away your television. It's just sort of that type of style & the upbeat heavy sounds. I dunno if anyone else'd think that or is it just me? (i wouldn't say taytv live sounds like torture me)

Cover art for Torture Me lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

yeah haha i actually get the whole television thing. i think AK is also dealing with frausteration with the world here, not just depression. he's annoyed that everything seems so superficial, from the media to maybe his friends, etc. i don't know, just a thought!

I love this song. I think it has to do with drugs. "I'm happy to be sad." Maybe he is tempted by his old lifestyle.
