Warped Lyrics

My tendency
For dependency
Is offending me
It’s upending me
I’m pretending see
To be strong and free
From my dependency
It’s warping me

So much love
So rare to dare
Afraid of
Ever being there
Take me home
I need repair
Take me please
To anywhere

Descend
All the way
All the way

Descended from
Demented men
Struggle with
The art of Zen
Please don’t look
Too close at me
You might not like
What you see

Descend
All the way
All the way
Everyday
Warped
And scared
Of
Being
There

Night craving
Sends me crawling
Beg for mercy oh
Does it show
A vacancy
That’s full of holes
Hold me please
I’m feeling cold

Descend
All the way
All the way
Everyday
Warped
And scared
Of
Being
There

Cover art for Warped lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

i liked the video an the kiss between ant & dave was sexy.

I'm not sure how they ended up kissing each other, coz Kiedis couldn't stand him! Were they high or something? No, they couldn't have been...

Best song on OHM by a mile although My Friends is good 2.

In Scar Tissue, Kiedis said that they were making the last scene a lot of times, and once Dave came up to him and said that the next time he'll kiss him. Anthony didn't expect that kind of kiss, but he said it was a good experience. It was just spontaneuos

It was originally almost cut, but RHCP told the producers to up themselves and they kept it.

During thi album Anthony started to do drugs again. For a long time he kept it a secret from everyone he knew. This song is a cry for help. For example:

So much love So rare to dare Afraid of Ever being there Take me home I need repair Take me please To anywhere

See?

Please don’t look Too close at me You might not like What you see

That line suggests he doesn't really want to be found out. But he still wants help.

flea said that anthony for the first time he realize that he is not a strong man, and felt sad. i think that could be bout drugs.

Cover art for Warped lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

cause ' my tendency for dependency' it's bout drugs,

It's about drugs and how it terrifies him that he feels like he needs them. The music shows just as much as the lyrics do; the whining and warping show his anxiety and fear he has of being weak to the drugs.

i think its bout drugs cuz he "decends all the way" meaning coming down from his high, and this sums it up:

Night craving Sends me crawling Beg for mercy oh Does it show A vacancy That’s full of holes Hold me please I’m feeling cold

i also think it's about drugs... Great Song!

Cover art for Warped lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

its definately about drugs... thats what was primarily on the bands minds at the time they wrote one hot minute, cos John had done too many, and the rest of them were feeling really down about it... loads of the OHM songs are about drugs or tragedies... And yeah, the kiss in the video IS sexy...

Cover art for Warped lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

finding a replacement for John also made anthony depressed because it reminds him of Hillel... anthony had been hurt too many times by the effects of heroine (Hillel, John) and he just wants to stop but he doesnt think hes strong enough and hes embarrassed and ashamed

Cover art for Warped lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

its about ak being hurt and drugs. but everytime someone says its about drugs they dont say what they mean. i mean that ak wa sscared og drugs at this time and was scared to face john and that put him down

Cover art for Warped lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The songs about ak's drug addiction, how it affects him and about hiding it from everyone. It had nothing to do with John or Hillel. It's all in his book, which everyone should read, by the way.

@dodoextinct , yes, it's about drugs/addiction. As the book, yes, of course fans should read it but the book is also about PR and self-promotion. It shouldn't in any way be considered the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I REALLY wish that, 20 years safely down the road, they would release the "Deep Kick" documentary that was filmed during the production of One Hot Minute, the way "Funky Monks" was during Blood Sugar Sex Magic.
