Under The Bridge
FAMILY ROOM - Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
At times, I experience a sense of isolation and loneliness, as if I lack someone to share my life with.

Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Occasionally, it seems like the only entity I can rely on and connect with is my surroundings.

Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Specifically, it is the urban environment I reside in, referred to as the 'city of angels'. It symbolizes both a physical location and a metaphorical representation of hope.

Lonely as I am, together we cry
In this state of solitude, the city and I share a collective sadness, as if we are unified in our emotional struggles.

I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
To seek solace and comfort, I traverse the city's roads, considering it as my constant companion.

I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
By strolling along the city's hills, I feel a sense of familiarity and recognition, as if the city understands and accepts me for who I truly am.

She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
The city witnesses my acts of kindness and rewards me with a gentle, embracing wind as a sign of affection.

Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
Despite claiming not to have concerns, it is a falsehood as worries and anxieties still persist.

I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way
I have no desire to experience the same emotions and circumstances as I did on a particular day in the past. I yearn to return to the place that brings me joy and solace, desiring a complete journey.

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It is difficult to fathom that there is no one present in my life to provide companionship and support.

It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
It is challenging to accept and comprehend the fact that I am completely isolated.

At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
However, I can find solace in the affection and care bestowed upon me by the city, as if it loves me in return.

I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way
I have no desire to experience the same emotions and circumstances as I did on a particular day in the past. I yearn to return to the place that brings me joy and solace, desiring a complete journey.

Oh, no, no-no-no, yeah, yeah
Expressing a slight distress or concern, yet maintaining the hopeful attitude of affirmation.

Love me, I say, yeah yeah One time
I earnestly implore for love and affirmation, emphatically emphasizing this request.

(Under the bridge downtown) Is where I drew some blood
Referring to a specific location under a bridge in the downtown area, it was the site where I experienced physical harm or injury.

(Under the bridge downtown) I could not get enough
Underneath that same bridge, I found myself unable to resist or satisfy my desires, suggesting a disposition of addiction.

(Under the bridge downtown) Forgot about my love
Within the space beneath the bridge, I unintentionally disregarded and overlooked the importance of my affectionate connection.

(Under the bridge downtown) I gave my life away
Metaphorically, my life seemed to be sacrificed or lost beneath the bridge in the downtown area, alluding to feelings of self-destruction or relinquishment.

Yeah, yeah Oh, no, no-no-no, yeah, yeah
Alternating between expressions of affirmation and distress, evoking a range of emotions.

Oh, no, I said, oh, yeah, yeah Where I stay
Repeating a mix of negative and positive sentiments, highlighting the location where I reside and find my identity.
