All of these meanings are incorrect. Allot of red hot chili pepper songs are about heroin addiction. Anthony was addicted to dope for quite some time.
"I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze."
The disease is addiction and its becoming insane how he needs the drug more and more.
"
Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean."
All the love he felt for the high in the beginning has turned to greed as he does whatever it takes to catch his next fix. Maybe taking from loved ones.
"It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more."
When you shoot dope, the taste in the back of your throat is bitter, but its sweet because it takes away all of his problems. Hes on a rollercoaster, a.k.a. addiction, and he'll be "coming back" to his dealer to cop later.
"I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I wont regret it never."
He won't forget the bliss of heroin and although he cannot help himself he still does not regret the high.
