Cover art for Breaking the Girl lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

im pretty sure this song is one of anthony's more personal songs he has written throughout his career. I think its about him losing his virginity for the first time if what i read is true he lost it very young (12,13) somewhere around there."Raised by my dad Girl of the day He was my man That was the way" i think this is talking about his dad and how many girls would come in and out of his house because his dad was a director or something and i guess thats why he thought it was ok. However i think somewhere in the song he conveys that he hurt the girl because he was probably being a typical male and not talking into consideration her feelings. and "your feelings are burning" really does remind me of your first time having sex cause thats essentially whats happening. I think its cool that he can say shit like that i never really new that guys felt the same way about shit like that. Also i think when it says she was left alone that maybe she was meant for his dad and he took advantage of the situation. I hope im right about the song i find pleasure in being so godamn analytical (heh)
