Make You Feel Better
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's the one she's the only one
She's got ripped back light
Gonna make me come
I say, when I smile I'm a really smile
I got dreams so wide like a country mile

I said now, I'll take it
It's better for you
Somehow we'll make it
'Cause that's what we do

Pick a star in the open sky
I see you see me
And that is why I

Hop along to the cowboy beat
When I feel your fire
Jump up to meet

I said now, I'll take it
It's better for you
Somehow we'll make it
'Cause that's what we do

Something out there
Where love is your only friend and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better and
Someone to spare
When love is the only end and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
Oh yeah

In a world that has run amok
I've got to set my sights
Just to get struck

I walk away from the rank and file
With a punched out mouth
And a pack of style

I say, she's the one she's the only one
Make me search myself
Until I'm done, and

Tell me now in a telegram
Do the sea of stars
Make a diagram, and
Something out there
Where love is your only friend and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better and
Someone to spare
When love is the only end and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
Oh yeah, hey

Oh yeah
So alive I arrive on dust
You can search my mind
For the red on rust, I said
Take me there and she really cares
Lights up for me gonna hear my prayers
I said

Now, I'll take it
It's better for you
Somehow we'll make it
'Cause that's what we do

Something out there
Where love is your only friend and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better and
Someone to spare
When love is the only end and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
We are the ones
That will make you feel better

Alex Alvarez


on Californication


People who harness the power of the mind try to manipulate your emotions


Young girls aspire to Hollywood fame and fortune while reciting memorable movie quotes


If you desire superficial fame and materialistic success, California is the place to be


California represents the epitome of the quintessential Western society


Although the sun rises in the East, California remains a constant and established location in contrast to the ever-changing world


Hollywood creates and sells the illusion of the California dream


Spend a lot of money to prevent or delay the physical symptoms of aging


The superficial appearance of celebrities can be deceiving; they may be fighting a personal battle to maintain their image


The rarities and impossible things that are unique to California


The explicit and suggestive nature of the entertainment industry in California


Marry me and be my inspiration to create new things and leave a mark in the world


Young women with information and resources at their disposal may make decisions that lead them down certain paths, such as becoming pregnant at a young age


Owning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a symbol of achieving fame and fortune, representative of the Californian dream


Despite space being seen as the most uncertain and mysterious frontier, the idea of it is created by Hollywood and is not a reality


Kurt Cobain, who died before the song was written, may still be listening to music in another realm


The fictional planet Alderaan from Star Wars represents another aspect of the Californian dream or illusion created by Hollywood


People in California are often raised with the idea that control over population is important and necessary


Everyone has experienced being controlled or manipulating others in some way, which is not limited to people being on vacation


While destruction can lead to difficult times, it can also provide the opportunity for new and creative things to be born


Earthquakes, which may be seen as destructive and terrifying, can also be seen as inspiring or beneficial, similar to how a girl's guitar strings vibrate to produce beautiful music


Even in the face of disaster, the draw and allure of the Californian dream or illusion created by Hollywood remains strong


There is no way to measure someone's mental or emotional state, but perhaps you crave these superficial things that come with the Californian illusion
