"Under the Bridge" is a song by the American alternative rock band Red Hot … Read Full Bio ↴"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.
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.

UNDER THE BRIDGE

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
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don't ever want to 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 want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

(Yeah, yeah yeah)
Ooh 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, yeah)

(Oh, no...) no-no-no, yeah, yeah
(Oh, no...) I said, oh, yeah, yeah
(Oh, no...)
Where I stay...

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!

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.

My brother was a drug addict, he died two days before Christmas last year. It had been ten years since the last time I saw him, he left home to make it big in LA.
He hadn't called home in almost two years, today we got the cause of death. Pneumonia, from severe autoimmune deficiency.
He had AIDS, he never called because he didn't want mom to know.
He did a lot of stupid stuff in his life, but there was always the possibility of a better future somewhere down the line.
This song and others will always remind me of him, and how there are people out there that just want to belong.
Love others, appreciate them, and help them when they're down.

This song is so deep, I was a heroin addict for 15 years, a fentanyl addict for 3 years and then everything addict for all those years. Homeless multiple times in two different states, Vegas and Salt Lake city. When the choir comes in and says under the bridge downtown, is where I drew some blood. That hits deep, people don't understand what it feels like when you put a needle in your veins and you pull back and see blood going into the heroin. You know you're in a vein and the pain is about to end.

Under The Bridge' is an absolute classic that captures the raw emotion of isolation and longing for connection. Anthony Kiedis' vocals, combined with the hauntingly beautiful guitar riff, create a timeless atmosphere that hits deep every time. The song takes you on a journey through the soul of Los Angeles, expressing both the highs and lows of life in the city. It’s a powerful reminder of vulnerability and finding your way through moments of loneliness. Truly a masterpiece that never gets old.

The song "Under the Bridge" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is about the isolation of addiction and recovery. The song was written by Anthony Kiedis about his struggles with addiction and depression. Kiedis described the song as coming to him while he was driving back from rehearsal on the Hollywood Freeway. He wrote about a time when he would go to a bridge in downtown Los Angeles to buy drugs. Kiedis has not revealed the exact location of the bridge, but some believe it was in MacArthur Park

In 1992 my father died and I remember feeling "I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day" so hard - and I linked it with how it bad I felt during the time my father was sick and when he finally died in April 1992. But later it became something I referred to as I became more heavily dependent on sedatives and alcohol. Having to withdraw from benzos, alcohol, and other narcotics was so painful that each time I endured that struggle - that line came to mind. I did it over and over again, until in 2015 I quit drugs and alcohol for good. I still miss my father, as being without him comes to 30 years.

Not many songs become timeless… but this is one of them.

Still sounds as fresh as it did when it was first released. Don’t even get me started on the lyrics. It’s a window into Anthony’s soul at that time.

Deep as hell.

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.

when i was 14, this song came out. i remember seeing the video on MTV over lunch at a friends place. while i didn't understand what the meaning was the first time, the second and third time i saw it, i figured it out. one of those moments when art helps you grow. at that age, i was very impressionable and seeing the story of a man who regrets his choices was very powerful. "forgot about my love,.. I gave my life away" really hit me. art speaks to the heart and is a much better drug deterrent than any marketing campaign. thank you rhcp. i never went down that road, but i could have.

I found this song after falling into a incredibly rough patch in my life. I didn't know what I wanted and I'd often think about how I wanted to just end my life no matter what. Once I heard this song, I was in actual tears. Everything about it is just therapeutic and amazing and it made me realise that even though it seemed like nothing was ever gonna happen to me, I knew I had to make something happen so, I went to my sister and picked up her bass guitar that she never used and I started playing Seven Nation Army. Now, I'm playing guitar and my life has never been as good as this. I can't say how much credit I can give to Anthony, John, Flea and Chad for helping me live and find the right path.
