My tendency
For dependency
Is offending me
It's upending me
I'm pretending see
To be strong and free
From my dependency
It's warping me

So much love
So rare to dare
Afraid of
Ever being there
Take me home
I need repair
Take me please
To anywhere

Descend
All the way

Descended from
Demented men
Struggle with
The art of zen
Please don't look
Too close at me
You might not like
What you see

Descend
All the way

Everyday, warped and scared
Of being there

Craving
Sends me crawling oh
Beg for mercy
Does it show
A vacancy
That's full of holes
Hold me please
I'm feeling cold

Descend
All the way

Everyday, warped and scared
Of being there

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Red Hot Chili Peppers' song Warped explore the theme of dependency and its ramifications. The first stanza brings about the internal struggle and conflict within oneself about their need for dependency. The speaker feels as though their tendency for dependency is offensive and warping them, leading them to pretend to be strong and free from it. This demonstrates the idea that sometimes we are aware of our flaws but struggle to overcome them, leading us to sometimes pretend to be someone we are not to hide our insecurities.

The second and third stanzas delve into the struggles of the speaker’s past and how it has influenced their current mindset. The speaker feels as though they are descended from demented men and struggle with the art of zen, leading the listener to believe that possibly their past may have led them to their dependency issue. The speaker pleads with the listener not to look too closely for fear that they will not like what they see. The final stanza finds the speaker begging to be held as they are feeling cold, demonstrating a sense of loneliness and fear that comes with dependency.

Overall, the lyrics to Warped deal with heavy themes of dependency, past struggles, and the internal conflict that comes with both. The song is a reminder to be aware of our flaws and to seek help when needed.

Read Full BioThe Red Hot Chili Peppers is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock, funk, punk rock and psychedelic rock. The band consists of co-founders Anthony Kiedis (lead vocals) and Flea (bass), as well as drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist John Frusciante, the latter of whom has been in the band across three stints. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the best-selling bands of all time. They are the most successful band in the history of alternative rock, with the records for most number-one singles (13), most cumulative weeks at number one (85) and most top-ten songs (25) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. They have won six Grammy Awards, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and in 2022 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles by Kiedis, Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Due to commitments to other bands, Slovak and Irons did not play on the band's 1984 self-titled debut album, which instead featured guitarist Jack Sherman and drummer Cliff Martinez. Slovak rejoined for their second album, Freaky Styley (1985), and Irons for their third, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987). Irons left after Slovak died of a drug overdose in June 1988.

With new recruits Frusciante and Smith, the Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded Mother's Milk (1989) and their first major commercial success, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991). Frusciante was uncomfortable with their newfound popularity and left abruptly on tour in 1992. After a series of temporary guitarists, he was replaced by Dave Navarro, who appeared on the group's sixth album, One Hot Minute (1995). Although successful, the album failed to match the critical or popular acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Frusciante and Kiedis struggled with drug addiction throughout the 1990s.

In 1998, following Navarro's departure, Frusciante rejoined the band. Their seventh album, Californication (1999), became their biggest commercial success, with 16 million copies sold worldwide. By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006) were also successful; Stadium Arcadium was their first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Frusciante left again in 2009 to focus on his solo career; he was replaced by Josh Klinghoffer, who appeared on I'm with You (2011) and The Getaway (2016), before Frusciante rejoined in 2019. They released their 12th album, Unlimited Love, in 2022.

The Chili Peppers' mix of hard rock, funk and hip hop has influenced genres such as funk metal, rap metal, rap rock and nu metal. Kiedis said the band were early to combine "hardcore funk and hip-hop-style vocals", and suggested they had influenced Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Linkin Park. Smith said, "Certainly Anthony's singing style and voice lends itself to being unique, and nobody sounds like him. The cool thing about it is we can play any style of music whether it's hard and fast, or loud or quiet, slow or medium, whatever it is; rock or funk, and it still sounds like us. I'm proud of that because sometimes bands don't have that strong personality where you go, 'Oh, that's boom, right away.'"

The Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame In April 2012. The induction lineup was Kiedis, Flea, Smith, Klinghoffer, Frusciante, Slovak (represented by his brother James), Irons and Martinez; Frusciante was invited, but did not attend. Navarro and Sherman were not inducted; Sherman said he felt "dishonored". The band performed "By the Way", "Give It Away" and "Higher Ground", which included Irons and Martinez on drums. It was the first time Kiedis and Flea had performed with Irons in more than 20 years.

In 2003, Rolling Stone released their first list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", with Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 310 and Californication at 399. In 2012, a revised list was released, with Californication at 401. In 2020, Rolling Stone released another version of the list, with Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 186 and Californication at 286.

The band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 31, 2022. George Clinton, Woody Harrelson and Bob Forrest unveiled the star at the ceremony.

@Joezee lol he's def got the tone of an 80s hair metal but not the hair and the persona. If you like the tone that's awesome, I'm just telling you what someone with ears can hear.

The best album by RHCP. Dave brought out the rock in them and it meshed well with their funk vibe. This is my favorite RHCP song by far.

Mark Willis

@nico testa I respectfully disagree. They wouldn't play anything before this album then if that were the case.

andré pereira

42w

@Bradley Love And I do same (respectfully disagree).
I think they always had that side. I wouldn't call it hard rock, but punk rock. Based on the music and sound that the original lineup made and had, on the album "Uplift Mofo..." and concerts of the time. I mean, besides funk, they had a punk rock side, more accentuated at the time of Jack and Hillel.
Jack had a very "rock" way of playing funky beats. And Hillel's guitar tone was dirtier, with more grit. Especially live.
(Also, his "psychedelia" on guitar, only Navarro did similar, imho.)
I know Dave has a heavier guitar tone, but there are things on the Uplift, Mothers Milk and BSSM albums, that are in "this kind of music."
So i don't feel this too far from their center and most important, OHM is not only this song.

But its all good, just my 2 cents.

Dave is a great guitarist but I can see why Dave wasn't considered a good fit. RHCP is funky pop rock, Dave is heavy metal. This song, while not a bad song, sounds more like Jane's Addiction than RHCP. It just feels very out of place with the rest of their discography.

Tonya Holley

A lot of people (including the band itself) shun the entire "One Hot Minute" era, but actually that album contained some really really innovative and great stuff. In my opinion, the way this dark, heavy, well, in fact, warped-feeling song fades into the lighthearted (while still sexually tinged) cheerfulness of "Aeroplane" is one of the greatest moments in RHCP's entire discography!
I also quite liked the "chili metal" style found in songs like the title track or parts of "coffee shop". They've never done anything like that since.

Flea and Chad really shine in that album too. They don't have to break into that complex rhythmic section in 'coffee shop', but they do.
Anthony being high out of his mind actually seemed to be pretty good lyricism fuel too frankly.

I definitely like the album more and more with age. 'Californication' and all of Anthony's subsequent ramblings about California mostly suck.

Dave and Anthony had such a great bromance. I love this song and all of OHM, it's a great album. I also love everything with John, Josh and Hillel. I love all Chilis.

This album was gonna face backlash no matter what they did. You can’t have a huge moment in music like they did & not be under a microscope for your follow up & the fact that John was gone made it even trickier. It was gonna be judged harshly regardless of what they put out. I like the album it just makes me sad listening to the lyrics to songs like this knowing Anthony was dying inside with this unknown secret up till that point. Still a great album with great music & the fact that they didn’t try to recreate BSSM while everything was falling apart is very commendable & brave if nothing else. Dave didn’t change his style & they didn’t try to change him. Great songs!! Warped video lol!!!!

I loved this album. This was a dark time in Anthony Keidis life, and the music reflected that. That got a lot of shit when this album dropped because it wasn’t a typical rchp album. I think it’s great when an artist can try something different, and have it still be awesome

Gabriel

1y↑1

@Anthony Cerulli Aeroplane is so much lighter and poppier than anything on BSSM though. It wouldn't fit on that album at all. I think you just made up the "got a lot of shit when this album dropped because it wasn’t a typical rchp album" part.

Anthony Cerulli

@Gabriel because what I mean is that at that point rchp was typically lighter fare. Like higher ground or breaking the girl. This was much darker and heavier then their previous albums

This was such an underrated album. As someone who owned most of the Peppers stuff from the beginning, it was always one of my favorites. I was always a much bigger fan of Janes, so maybe that’s why I enjoy it so much. Dave was darker and much different than John or Hillel, and added an element that wasn’t there before and hasn’t been there since. “Transcending” will always be one of my favorite songs. It was such a great tribute to River.

Great video from a shameless underrated album. One hot minute is dark, funky, heavy and have some of their best songs. A lot of people disliked it for not having Frusciante in, but Navarro suits perfect to that kind of material. For me, always their second best album after Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic.

Caleb Dickerson

3y↑3

Idk if it’s just because the band was at their highest point instrumentally and creatively at this period or just because I know Anthony was clean and a lot happier but I’ve always preferred Californication, By the Way and Stadium Arcadium, and yeah they are more commercial and I understand why people don’t like them as much, but I feel like most people who heard Blood Sugar Sex Magik in high school just have nostalgia goggles on for the album, because while the album is funky and fun to jam to, the lyrics are nowhere near as well crafted as other albums, and that’s coming from someone who loves all of their albums even their lesser known and liked first 3 albums, but John Frusciante in my opinion is a large reason those 3 albums steal the show in my opinion

I have never been a REAL fan of this band, I love their early 90's classics but never really tapped into the whole albums only for Blood sugar sex magic, but this album is by far my favorite. The Jane's addiction vibe that Navarro gives is so original, and fleas tone in this album is form another planet. A real rock aficionado knows the value of this cult classic we might say.

One Hot Minute may have been an album with dark themes and a bleak and harsh sound, as well as a more melancholy and depressing vibe than every other album, but this was a phase in the band's history and they have always mixed genres and experimented with various sounds and styles in their music. The band simply had a more negative and chaotic energy during this time as opposed to their usual positive and mellow energy and happy, peaceful vibe. It is great to see the gradual evolution of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in all of their musical phases whether light or dark.

Лучший альбом в их дискографии. Наварро принес свежий звук, свежее настроение и сделал перцев лиричными, открытыми, глубокими.

John Frusciante is my favourite guitarist and I got a wrist asterisk tattoo because of him. But One Hot Minute is my favourite Red Hot Chili Peppers album. Absolutely incredible music. Never seen this music video before! I love that a) they make out at the end and b) there's bass that's not on the album closing it off <3

I also shied from OHM but it's a actually a decent record. It screams 90's alternative rock from every pore of it but agred really well. If you give it a listen without prejudice and good headphones you really appreciate their twist in sound and the special vibe it had. Perfect blend of where Navarro is coming from and RHCP. There is a part in "One Big Mob" that sounds like a legit RATM groove, so you can clearly tell this is an alternative record from the mid-90s. 😁

I feel like whoever directed this music video was just like "hey, you guys wanna dress in all black and get weird?" and of course, RHCP were down for it.

I've loved this album since it came out over 25 years ago, and it is still to this day my favorite guitar album ever. So much cool stuff that Dave did, and the chemistry he and Flea had together was amazing. If this song came out now and was played on the radio, I'd be like "Whoa! What is that?!" and I can guarantee it and the rest of the album would have exactly the same effect on me. I didn't understand the hate it got back then and still don't to this day; I'm convinced that the people who didn't/don't like it has nothing to do with the music itself but that it doesn't sound like any other RHCP album and they can't remove themselves from that feeling to appreciate it on its own.

1) As a bass player I protest for cutting Fleas' bass solo in half.

2) MHO is that Navaro was an awesome fit and brought some fresh air into the band at the time. His playing is awesome on the whole album and you cant compare him to Fusciante or Josh simply cause all of them approach the instrument in their own styles. And they both freaking rule IMHO.

Wszystko się zgadza co napisałeś, ale Underground the Bridge podejrzewam że nie nagrali by z Navarro. Także Fruscianto to dobry skład. Zresztą jak powiedział Chad, Frusciante to prawdziwy chilis.

One Hot Minute is the best RHCP album , and i don't fucking care about what anybody else thinks. There's no possible way that any other of their albums can match the artistic level that they conquer here. Obviously is not commercial focused album, and specially not a " nice young girl/boy that only knows Californication era and beyond fan " friendly album , but is absolutely an amazing piece of art.

Yes sir. I blasted WARPED SO LOUD IN MY CAR on the way to school in 1995. I didnt like californication. Too commercial easy listening for me. Warped and breaking the girl are my favorite rhcp songs. Walkabout is also dope. I listened to that on headphones walking around Amsterdam on mushrooms in 1999

despite the fact that everyone thinks navarro is crap, i would have liked to see another rhcp album with navarro on it, i like heavy metal so and i liked navarro's effect that it had on rhcp's music so i would like it if there was another album with navarro on it

@Ratamahatta navarrro is a master rock guitarist

Kate

I don't think anyone thinks Dave is crap. He's obviously talented, and while I like the album he did with them, it just wasn't a perfect fit. Musical chemistry is wildly important and you can have insanely talented musicians work together, but if they all aren't in complete sync, it won't last. That's all.

you know, the band has been together making music for 30 years. No band lasts that long with out changing up their styles to stay relevant. I'm glad the group had all of its periods and different line ups. John was a great song writer and navaro was an amazing guitarist with this band. And Josh is right up there with all of them. I feel the music they make now is more honed and refined than any they have ever made. I saw these guys back in '86 with the original line up and have been a fan ever since. I'm just glad to live in a world where there are a Red Hot Chili Peppers to play the sound track of my life for so many years .I've grown old with them. Can't wait to see them in Pittsburgh 5/11/2017

I was 14 yrs old when this record came out! Been listening to it ever since, and it's funny...the more I listen to it, the more I'm like: What a Masterpiece! I literally think this was SO ahead of its time and if released now, it'd definitely be more understood! Love it!

Lucas Penido

@Manuel Tapia yes. I agree. It was the heaviest not only in sounds but in substance abuse. That’s when Anthony relapsed after his bike crash , and that definitely reflects on those years.

Manuel Tapia

Nice album kilos kinda dark, but with Nice songs and I was 13 by the way hehe

Same here! It was truly ahead of time and so different from the rest, yet so defining of the mid-90s. I really loved and still love the album, though I don’t listen to it that often as it brings back memories in a pretty intense way - the power of (good) music 🎶

This is the one song on OHM where Dave got the entire band to basically turn into Jane's. Chad's part totally sounds like Stephen Perkins, Flea is channeling Eric Avery 100%, and I'll be damned if Anthony doesn't have Perry's delay-laden sound down to a T. And the way it is frenetic all the way to the end when it goes into the beautiful bit, of course, is just perfection. And how they did it live, by playing a few bars of Three Days at the very end, just woah. I wish there was a version where they went into the whole bit of Three Days and did a live medley that would have been fucking FANTASTIC.

Listened to this song after a long while and cannot help but feeling once again that this is their best album (at least to my taste). It’s a very eclectic and innovative mix of funk and hard rock, and it’s incredible to have this by a band that had already reached mainstream by then. No wonder from the next album on they went as mainstream as they could. Not that I disliked the later stuff, but this album is their best experiment!

Even though the lyrics may be about drugs, they have often helped me feeling OK about my mental health. I think rock should be about taking out your hardest feelings, and much less about making you dance and jump around. But just my two cents.:
