Under The Bridge
KITCHEN - Red Hot Chili Peppers 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 angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no-no, yeah, yeah
Love me, I say, yeah yeah
One time
(Under the bridge downtown)
Is where I drew some blood
(Under the bridge downtown)
I could not get enough
(Under the bridge downtown)
Forgot about my love
(Under the bridge downtown)
I gave my life away
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no-no-no, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, I said, oh, yeah, yeah
Where I stay
"Under the Bridge" is a song about feeling disconnected from the world and finding solace in the city of Los Angeles. The song talks about the ups and downs of life, the feeling of being alone and vulnerable, and the desire to escape it all by finding a place of joy - in this case, a place under a bridge where Anthony Kiedis, RHCP's lead singer, used to go to escape his problems. Sometimes Kiedis feels like he doesn't have anyone to turn to or talk to, but the city of L.A. is always there for him. He drives through the city with the feeling that the city is his partner, and walks through its hills because the city knows who he is. However, despite the city's love for him, Kiedis still feels lonely.
The song speaks about the desire to escape the pain of the past and move on to something more joyful. Kiedis doesn't want to go back to feeling like he did "that day," which remains unspecified but clearly was not a good time in his life. The repetition of the lines "Take me to the place I love" and "Take me all the way" indicate not only a physical escape of going back to the place under the bridge, but also the emotional escape of leaving behind the bad memories of the past.
In the third verse, Kiedis talks about the bridge mentioned earlier, where he used to go to escape the world. It was a place where he could forget about his love and give his life away. Although it's unclear what he means by that, we can assume that he means that he could forget his problems and lose himself in the moment. The song ends with the repetition of "oh, yeah, yeah," emphasizing the yearning for a place that can take away the pain of the past and bring joy in the present.
