not only is this song powerful, poetic, and played beautifully, but it was the first RHCP song i ever heard. so, along with the deeper meaning, it brings me back ten years. okay, so maybe i was 8 and didn't see the underlying allusions to heroin addiction, but i loved it--and still do. ahhh, anthony kiedis has got to be the sexiest man alive.
Let me clear this up for ya'll, he is actually saying "Go to the place your told" not "Under the bridge downtown". Artists sometimes do this, like Arcade Fire does in Lies, where everyone thinks theyre saying "Everytime you close your eyes, lies, lies" and there actually saying "everytime you close your eyes, that art thou". Listen to both the songs again if you want, maybe you'll see, or maybe you won't - remember its better to be ignorant and just believe what they tell you :)
