Under the Bridge
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

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

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.

I've heard this song hundreds of times. A few times as part of the album, some as part of a compilation, most on radio or in the background as the autoplay algorithm weaves it's serpentine way around my listening preferences.

Always been a bit lukewarm when it came to RHCP, but this popped up on autoplay a few nights ago as I was working - And I decided to listen to it, properly this time, and got the lyrics up in another window.

I'd half-remembered some ancient crumbs of conversations about music I'd had when I was younger, and being told that this was a song about drugs or addiction or something, and most likely I would have casually accepted that and dismissed it as having any interest to me or profundity, lyrically, and from that point it would have been subconsciously indexed as acceptable background noise, hearing the notes and not the words.

Anyway, I decided to listen to it, for real.

2:51 came and the intensity went up, and up, and up, and then I heard a choir of angels & mothers shrieking at the sight of a son letting go of his life, and floating off into oblivion, forever.

And with headphones cradling my skull, at close to 3am, in the silent darkness enveloping me, tears fell on to my kitchen table.

How can a person go for 30 years listening but not hearing? Well I didn't, until now.

I'm sure no one cares, but I just wanted to say, remarkable.

Beautiful, haunting, moving, sad, sincere...profound.

I was wrong.

This isn't lukewarm, it's red hot.

Thank you Anthony Kiedis & RHCP - Magical, masterful, marvellous.

Once I learned the story behind this song It instantly became my favorite since I'm currently battling an addiction and lost my girl and kids because I would rather have been getting high than spending time with her and have lost everything except a nice pickup truck. Most days I want to end it, the days I don't is when I listen to this song.

I've been down that road of addiction bro. I can relate to some degree but I didn't loose my girl so I offer my most sincere condolences. I know my wife at the time and kids left me tho. I've been clean now for years and am barely able to reconnect with my kids even tho one still hates me the other 4 are trying. I know I couldn't get clean on my own. I'm not going to get preachy preachy to ya but I am going to tell you this truth. Jesus saved me. I would go to church high as heck at times but I still went. No doubt some probably knew and thought of me to be a hypocrite but I wasn't going for them. Soon God began to clean my life up step by step. He doesn't treat anyone better than anyone else, what was done for me he will do for you. I pray u come to him in the name of jesus. He can and will set you free.

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!

My girlfriend came from a super rich family and I slept at her house in this giant guest room with a Billiard table and big screen TV because we were 16 so I obviously had to sleep in the guest room. This was 1992 and I was watching MTV. I fell asleep and woke up about 3 am to the this video with Frusciante playing the opening riff in the ski hat and fender jaguar. I had never heard anything like it in my life and immediately knew what I wanted to do. The next day my girlfriend bought me a guitar…. 30 years later I still play and still have that guitar. Haven’t seen her in like 28 years 😂❤

I realized I hit rock bottom when this song came on the radio and I cried harder than I have cried in my entire life. It felt so good to just finally be able to cry like that. The lyrics are to be interoperated but as an addict who lost someone very special to me this song was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment in my life. I've heard this song a million times and never even almost cried. But that day it completely broke me and now I love it more than ever. I truly never want to feel the way I did that day but it's important to remember none the less.

Based on his work on BSSM, John would've went down in 90s lure as a musical genius, but he would've been one of the big 'what ifs' if we lost him during his low period after he left the band the first time. His work from Californication - present is some of best music in any genre an solidified him as a rock god and all time great.

Amazing guitar work. He's so good at letting those chords ring! Love the part where Flea quiets the bass... He knows when NOT to play :) Both are so good.

I still remember when this came out and was on the radio. It was rotating like crazy in 1995. I was living in Waco, TX, listening to the radio in my new room that my family was just moving into that day. I remember holding a tennis racket like a guitar, age 10. Sitting in front of the radio on a dresser. It was the only thing in my room plus the chair I was sitting in. A mover came in to bring in boxes or something, and he laughed as I was playing air-tennis-racket-guitar to this song. He must have said something like ah man you want to play guitar huh? Well you look ready!

27 years later. I now build guitar effects pedals for global clients, including an analog chorus that I truly feel captures the bluesy sadness of this song, and it actually is based on the same pedals those guys used. I jam all the time, and I keep guitar close to my heart. My favorite guitar is one that I built during one of the most depressing moments of my life. That guitar saved me.

Every time I listen to this song - no matter what awful place I'm in with my life - it always reminds me of where I started, just a kid who loved cool music who wanted to play. I never forget that feeling.

Peace and love to everyone who enjoys this song.

I did a bundle of dope and 85 Xanax then slit my throat in 2018! Would be dead but a friend found me with blood squirting out of my neck & called 911. Most of the time I wish no one found me so I could be with my parents again! They knew everything I was struggling with and still LOVED ME! They say you end up in hell when you commit suicide. Well in my eyes & head this life is HELL! ANYWAY I ended up in ICU for 2 weeks then a psych ward for 30 days! 3rd time I tried so I guess there's a reason for me to get my shit together! 61 & still struggling! Music is the only thing that keeps me going!

This song means so much to me I remember being young and I never really had friends but every time I listened to their music I felt like I had a friend there . I will always be indebted to Red Hot Chili Peppers for giving me that feeling because at that point in my life I was so close to where I could have died in any moment. The world didn’t seem like there was a place for me. But when i listened to their music I felt like I had a friend there. I will always be great full for that. RHCP music is very friendly music. I love them very much.

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
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

Take me to the place I love

@GJB Sarmeri dude are you fucking kidding me..?! Have you ever read SCAR TISSUE by Anthony kedis?!
Under the bridge is us heroin addicts song. Depression and loneliness and feeling damn near suicidal comes with the territory of being in deep worn dope..
in the song he says, “UNDER THE BRIDGD 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. G A V E. MY. L I F E. A W A Y 🎶

.. how could you possible even think and say that this song isn’t even remotely about heroin addiction🤔🤔🤔??!
I hate when people have to be know it’s alls and be a fucking Karen even when they do T even remotely have their facts straight.

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.
