Under the Bridge
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
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
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 by the American alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on March 10, 1992 as the second single from the group's fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
Vocalist Anthony Kiedis wrote the lyrics to express his feelings of loneliness and despondency and to reflect on narcotics and their impact on his life.

Vocalist Anthony Kiedis wrote the lyrics to express his feelings of loneliness and despondency and to reflect on narcotics and their impact on his life.
During rehearsal in April 1991, Kiedis had felt distanced from bandmates Flea and Frusciante. His feeling of loneliness reminded him of his relationship with his former girlfriend, and the time of his heroin and cocaine addiction. His subsequent alienation spent wandering and hiking through L.A. made him feel that the spirit of the city was looking after him, like his only companion or friend.
Kiedis initially did not feel "Under the Bridge" would fit into the Chili Peppers' repertoire and was reluctant to show it to his band mates until producer Rick Rubin implored him to do so. The rest of the band was receptive to the lyrics and wrote the music.
The song became a critical and commercial success, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The single's success was widened with the release of its accompanying video, which was frequently played on music television channels. It won the "Viewer's Choice Award" and "Breakthrough Video" at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.
"Under the Bridge" allowed the Red Hot Chili Peppers to enter the mainstream. David Fricke of Rolling Stone said the song "unexpectedly drop-kicked the band into the Top 10",[1] while Philip Booth of The Tampa Tribune commented that it was a "pretty, undulating, [and] by-now omnipresent single."[2] Its success led in part to the departure of guitarist John Frusciante, who preferred the band to remain underground. The song has become an inspiration to other artists, and remains a seminal component of the alternative rock movement of the early- and mid-1990s.

Seems to me a bit like might be talking about when was at a low point in his life or his state of consciousness, and was maybe offered a deal, he took a blood oath which was what lead to the ''fame and fortune'' he gained
Some will know what I'm talking about to some degree, most will not
I suppose just one of the hints to this is in the name to the album.. ''sex magik'' .. I wonder if you ask all of the people who like this song or album ''what is sex magik?'' most would probably not even be aware of any of the topics or concepts behind any of it.. It's a topic that I'm not even aware much of or inner-stand much of, or can express much of but I'm aware of a couple of aspects.. I don't look into things or ''research'' for the realisation and inner-standing that I do have though
The thing is that lyrics can always be perceived in various ways... So many lyrics have references to generally hidden or unknown concepts, or even things going on in the world that most people are unaware of, but most people don't see it..
Could take many songs for example.. let's use gnarls barkleys crazy for one.. As usual everyone loves it, and think they inner-stand what the lyrics are expressing about, and that they relate to it, but the truth is very little amount of people will actually inner-stand what the lyrics are actually expressing about compared to how many people like the song and think they inner-stand it..

This is really a sad song..
Heroine addiction, he was shooting up under the bridge downtown
" is where I drew some blood"
Where he gave his life away.. The gospel choir repeating "away"
Always gives me the chills, as a former drug addict myself, I almost get teary eyed with the way this song ends.
Absolute masterpiece, they truly caught lightning in a bottle on that day, something you might only get to do once in an entire lifetime.

When you walk through the Hills, in them Shoes.
It feels different, creating a underlying bridge of meditation through the storm.
No matter what is going on.
Pineapple takes too long to get out of my mouth.
A Prayer is so fast, nothing is Faster.
