Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers are a melancholic reflection upon loneliness and the emotional connection the artist feels with the city he lives in. The song starts by expressing a sense of alienation and a lack of companionship. It reveals the feeling of the singer that sometimes he doesn't have anyone in his life to turn to, no close friends, and sometimes not even a partner. What he has is the city, which is the only constant companion in his life, hence the title "Under the Bridge".

Further, he talks about how he drives and walks through the streets and hills of the city which are familiar to him, and he feels recognized by them. He asserts that the city sees and acknowledges his good deeds, and that the wind kisses him. He acknowledges, however, that he "never worries" is a lie, which hints that he likely has internal struggles and anxieties.

The chorus of the song revolves around the artist's wish to not feel as he did that day, likely referencing a particularly lonely day or event. He yearns to go to the place he loves and be taken there all the way, indicating that his loss of love and sense of loneliness has led him to disconnect from the world.

Overall, the song is deep in its emotions and reflects a sense of inner turmoil, despair and heartache, represented by the imagery of the city as the singer's only confidant.

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner
At times, I experience the sense of being alone, that I don't have anyone to share my life with

Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels
Sometimes, I feel like the only friend I have is the city I dwell in; Los Angeles - a city named after angels

Lonely as I am Together we cry
Despite being lonely, the city and I are still connected in such a way that we share each other's pain and feel each other's hardships

I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion
I take a drive on the streets of the city as they give me the feeling of having a companion beside me

I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am
I stroll through the hills of the city because they recognize me and reflect my journey and experiences

She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy
The city sees and appreciates the good things I do, and loves me back by embracing me with its winds

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 want to feel the emotional pain I once experienced again; I want to be taken to the place within the city that I adore and feel safe there

It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone
It's unbelievable that I'm completely alone and have nobody by my side to share my life with

At least I have her love The city she loves me
I may be lonely, but I have the city's love which recognizes and appreciates me for who I am

Under the bridge downtown Is were I drew some blood I could not get enough Forgot about my love I gave my life away (yeah yeah) Ooh no (no no yeah yeah) Here I stay yeah yeah
Under the bridge downtown, the place where I used to spend time, I lost myself, forgetting about the ones I loved, and gave up parts of my life. It's where I was hurt, and I can't forget, but I still stay here

I hit the coke and amphetamine wave of the late 90s, in England. I was 17, and was into mostly punk, and ska. But, this song was EVERYWHERE. It permeated parties, after parties, speakers, guitars.....You name it. EVERYONE loved it....Goths, punks, metalheadz, bikers, ravers....it just moved around and did it's thing. I guess it just finds everyone who needs it.

I lost my mind, my house, my job, my partner, had a bunch of hospital visits, surgeries, psychological episodes, went to war, went to rehab, and got kicked out of the army. I then struggled for another 8 years. I'm 5 years clean this month. Life is good. It's sad....leaving that world, and the people in it. Real life is strange. These days I'm addicted to physical training and gardening! Funny, eh?

Good luck everyone, and thanks Anthony!

I can relate to this 25 years ago. I ran away from home because my parents both are drug addicts. I live under the bridge for some time. It was some stressful times. so I tried cocaine and I was addicted to it. Until I met the love of my life. It was what you call love at first sight. to make her my Lover I need to stop. but I can't. so I started working at a Grocery store and I realized I can stop just by making myself busy. After Sober I cofessed to her and she turns out she loved me too. Now we have 2 childrens. and I don't contact my parents anymore because I heard from the neighbours they are still drug addicts. Thank you for hearing me out. This was the toughest moments at my life.

RIP to all those taken by the demon called heroin.

I love you Alison my beloved sister you will be missed.

Edit: Please seek help if you are struggling with any addiction. No matter what your family says... no matter what anyone says including yourself. ... it is so hard to do it alone. If you try you will most likely end up gone alone. Find someone or something that can guide you. Not the demon that has you sucked in.

In 2003 chilly peppers opened for Snoop Dog in Atlanta. Did great! Snoop Dog did 3 songs but left way too early because stage manager would let him smoke on stage between songs.

My brother was a drug addict, he died two days before Christmas last year. It had been ten years since the last time I saw him, he left home to make it big in LA.
He hadn't called home in almost two years, today we got the cause of death. Pneumonia, from severe autoimmune deficiency.
He had AIDS, he never called because he didn't want mom to know.
He did a lot of stupid stuff in his life, but there was always the possibility of a better future somewhere down the line.
This song and others will always remind me of him, and how there are people out there that just want to belong.
Love others, appreciate them, and help them when they're down.

Man, it feels crazy because I've been a RHCP fan since I was like 11 because I liked how they sound, yet now that I'm an adult I'm finally paying attention and understanding the lyrics and I feel like I became a fan all over again.

This song is always my freedom song... Heard it first in my day care years...like 6 or 7 years old, and it was new at the time.... I made my day care lady play it over and over...and she did. No other kid had requested music at the time...(pre-internet for all you young bloods reading this).

I love that his struggle didn't win! And this song is still a 90s fav for me. It means a lot that it is here, and I'll always cherish it!

@TheWarhammerfreak

Well I was going to leave well enough alone but ok. First off just because a song has a line related to heroine doesn't make the song about heroine. If a farm grows corn along with countless other vegetables it isn't a corn farm. The song is about being alone and coping with it, so yes, drugs played a crucial role in this, but that doesn't make the entire song about one specific drug. It's much deeper and meaningful than that. If you want songs about drugs listen to hip hop. Victor, all I'll say is look up "red herring argument".

In 1992 my father died and I remember feeling "I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day" so hard - and I linked it with how it bad I felt during the time my father was sick and when he finally died in April 1992. But later it became something I referred to as I became more heavily dependent on sedatives and alcohol. Having to withdraw from benzos, alcohol, and other narcotics was so painful that each time I endured that struggle - that line came to mind. I did it over and over again, until in 2015 I quit drugs and alcohol for good. I still miss my father, as being without him comes to 30 years.

when i was 14, this song came out. i remember seeing the video on MTV over lunch at a friends place. while i didn't understand what the meaning was the first time, the second and third time i saw it, i figured it out. one of those moments when art helps you grow. at that age, i was very impressionable and seeing the story of a man who regrets his choices was very powerful. "forgot about my love,.. I gave my life away" really hit me. art speaks to the heart and is a much better drug deterrent than any marketing campaign. thank you rhcp. i never went down that road, but i could have.
