Under the Bridge
All Saints Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in the city of cities
Lonely as I am, together we cry we cry we cry
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
I drive on the streets, 'cos he's my companion
I walk through his fields, 'cos he knows who I am
He sees my good day, then he kisses me windy
I never worry now that's a lie
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times
It's hard to believe there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have his love the city he loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love take me all the way
All the way
The lyrics of All Saints's song Under the Bridge explore feelings of loneliness and a sense of longing for a place of emotional and spiritual comfort. The opening lines express a sense of disconnect from the world, where the singer feels as though they do not have a partner or a friend. The city they live in, however, represents a kind of solace, a companion in their isolation. They describe the city as "the city of cities," meaning it is the most important city to them. The singer and the city both share a common experience in their sorrow and tears, making them feel less alone.
The chorus repeats the singer's desire to find a place of love, a place where they do not have to feel the way they did on that fateful day. The city serves as a refuge, a place where they can escape from their past pain and hurt. The singer describes their connection to the city and how it seems to understand them as they drive on its streets and walk through its fields.
The final lines of the chorus show that, although they may feel alone, the singer still finds comfort in the love that they have, whether it be from another person or even just from the city. The song offers a powerful message about the healing power of love and the importance of finding a place where one feels truly at home.
