Cover art for Soul to Squeeze lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is my absolute favourite song. It holds real meaning for me. I had a siezure last year and for a while I was living with the possibility that it might have been caused by a brain tumour - thank god it turned out to be something manageable (epilepsy). I think this is a beautiful song. I thought it was about depression and feeling like you were worthless and that life was wasted on you, because no one ever showed you how special and infinitely beautiful you are, and then love came and the world became a place of exploration, and something you could contribute to because someone believed you have something special to offer. AntipsychoStar's interpretation also makes a lot of sense though.
