Navarro started playing guitar at 12 after listening to Jimi Hendrix and joined Jane's Addiction in 1986. The band split in 1991 and Navarro promptly formed Deconstruction releasing a single self-titled album.
Following John Frusciante's 1993 departure, Navarro joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He featured on the 1995 album One Hot Minute before leaving in 1998. Jane's Addiction began playing sporadic shows in the late 90s before officially reforming which resulted in their final studio album, Strays.
Navarro's guitar playing can also be found on records by Alanis Morrisette and Marilyn Manson. He is currently playing in The Panic Channel featuring former band mates, Stephen Perkins and Chris Chaney.
Rexall
Dave Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't make me say it
There is nothing left in me
Don't make me
Too much for hotel rooms
Don't make me say it
Sleeping pills don't make me
There is no love left in your eyes
Roll over say goodnight
A morning dog howl in the street
Cup filled tiny hands and feet
Napkin in the drain
I'm running out of room
Don't make me say it
There is nothing left in me
Don't make me
Too much for hotel rooms
Don't make me say it
Sleeping pills don't make me
There is no love left in your eyes
There is love between your thighs
Roll over say goodnight
I hate my life I hate my life
Never want another wife
I want the life you think I have
There is no love left in your eyes
There is love between your thighs
Roll over say goodnight
I've had enough of feeling sick
You've had enough of feeling sick
The sugar never helps
I hate my life I hate my life
Never want another wife
I want the life you think I have
The lyrics to Dave Navarro's "Rexall" reflect a sense of desperation, exhaustion, and dissatisfaction with life. The opening line, "I'm running out of room," implies a sense of being trapped, as if the singer is suffocating or running out of options. The repetition of "don't make me say it" suggests a fear or reluctance to face some difficult truth or reality. As the song continues, the singer alludes to a strained relationship with someone, perhaps a partner, and a sense of deep disconnection: "There is nothing left in me / There is no love left in your eyes." However, there is still a physical connection between the two, as the singer notes that "there is love between your thighs."
The song seems to alternate between moments of despair and frustration, such as "I hate my life I hate my life / Never want another wife," and moments of nostalgia or longing, such as "I want the life you think I have." The line "The sugar never helps" could suggest a reliance on drugs or alcohol to numb the pain or escape from reality. Overall, the lyrics to "Rexall" paint a picture of a person who is struggling to find meaning or satisfaction in their life and relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm running out of room
I am feeling very restricted and suffocated
Don't make me say it
Please don't force me to express my feelings
There is nothing left in me
I have given all that I had and there is nothing left to give
Too much for hotel rooms
I am bigger than the space that is currently available to me
Sleeping pills don't make me
Medication is no longer enough to help me cope with this situation
There is no love left in your eyes
Your eyes no longer reflect the love that we once shared
There is love between your thighs
Your physical and sexual presence still holds strong emotions
Roll over say goodnight
Let's end this day and go to sleep
A morning dog howl in the street
The sounds of the day starting and life moving on without me
Cup filled tiny hands and feet
The joys of parenthood and raising children
Napkin in the drain
The trivial problems of everyday life
I hate my life I hate my life
I am deeply unhappy with my current situation
Never want another wife
I am not interested in going through another failed marriage
I want the life you think I have
I wish I could live up to your expectations or the expectations that I have set for myself
