Cover art for This Velvet Glove lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

k, this is onna their best songs lemme say that first. but I think the song is about never being able to have the person you want. Loving someone so hard but them not loving you back. "I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything I will for you." "sitting alone in the sun I wrote a letter to you, gettin' over myself" He's hurting really bad. This girl took his breath away and he's not with her. Great song.

@kiefy24 I interpret that line u qutoed "I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything I will for you." as ill do anything to support my dependence and will sacrifice everything. i feel hes talking to his former self and ending his relationship with drugs. based on what very little i know about some one i will never meet hes not a romantic. also "i could of lied" is his only real love sone.
