She's For Me
Red Hot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks to me like heaven sinned
No lullaby kid, no five percent
Anyway you wanna cut that cake
She's a-dyin' from the likes of abandonment
Lost in a valley without my horses
She needs somebody to hold

It looked to me like heaven sent this for
Your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

Who's gonna take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

It's a long walk down those tracks
It's a dirty walk in
It's a dirty walk back
Gonna learn a way too much
Shootin' dope in the back of a Cadillac, Jack

Slow down the road to my back forty
She needs somebody to hold

It looked to me like heaven sent this for
Your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

Who's gonna take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

Down in the south sea
Give me your mouthpiece
Resuscitation is the way I found these
I give you major
You give me minor
Don't fade away
Like an ocean liner, now

Lost in the valley without my horses
No one can tell me what my remorse is
God made this lady that stands before me
She needs somebody to hold

She shows the world up with a smile
And then she throws the fight
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

Down on the bathroom floor
She's searching for another light
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

It looks to me like heaven sent this for
Your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me, alright

Who's gonna take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright




She looks to me
She looks to me

Overall Meaning

"She Looks to Me" is a poignant song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers that deals with themes of abandonment, addiction, and the need for human connection. The opening line, "Looks to me like heaven sinned," suggests that the woman in question has been cast out from a place of divine origins, potentially as a result of the circumstances that have led to her current struggles. The lyrics go on to describe her as "lost in a valley without my horses," metaphorically expressing her sense of being adrift and helpless without the necessary means of escape or transport.
