Under The Bridge
Santana Featuring Roch Voisine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And 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
Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Well, 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
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
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
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah
Will I stay?
The song "Under the Bridge" by Santana featuring Roch Voisine is a cover of the original song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lonely, yet finding solace in the city of angels, Los Angeles. The singer feels like he doesn't have a partner and sometimes feels like his only friend is the city he lives in. He drives on the streets and walks through the hills, and the city sees his good deeds and gives him comfort. Even though he feels lonely, he knows that he's not completely alone as the city loves him as well. However, he doesn't want to feel like he did on a particular day and wants to go back to the place he loves, where he feels safe and comfortable. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "Love me, I said" which could be interpreted as a plea for acceptance and love.
The song has a melancholic feel, with a slow tempo and a simple arrangement. The guitar and the vocals are the main elements, and they create a nostalgic atmosphere that matches the lyrics. The song was released in 2007 as part of Santana's album "Ultimate Santana" which is a compilation of his greatest hits. The song peaked at number 30 in the Canadian Hot 100 chart.

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
At times, I sense the absence of someone who shares my goals
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Sometimes I feel like I have nobody to share my darkest secrets with
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
The City of Angels is a place that gives me shelter whenever I need it
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Despite being alone most of the times, I feel the pain of others in my city
I drive on her streets, 'cause she's my companion
I love traveling through the streets of the city because it makes me feel like I'm not alone
I walk through her hills, 'cause she knows who I am
I walk through the hills of the city because it understands the kind of person I am
She sees my good deeds, and she kisses me windy
Whenever I do something that the city likes, it rewards me with gusts of wind and good vibes
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
That statement is not true, even though I don't like to admit it
And I don't ever want to feel
I don't want to feel as if I did before
Like I did that day
Like the day when I lost someone dear to me
Take me to the place I love
Take me to the place where I can find solace and happiness
Take me all the way
Take me to the depths of that place where I can find worth again
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I am the only person who's struggling with my problems
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
It's hard to believe that no one has gone through these experiences before me
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
At least I have the love of the city and the feeling that it cares for me
Under the bridge downtown
I find myself questioning life's purpose under the town's bridge
Is where I drew some blood
That's the location where I got hurt, maybe physically or emotionally
I could not get enough
I wanted more of that feeling, despite the pain it caused me
Forgot about my love
I prioritized my pain above the feeling of being loved
I gave my life away, yeah
I got so involved with the feeling that I let go of my life's purpose and meaning
Will I stay?
I question if I will remain in this state of mind or if I will find a way out
