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 city's
Slowly as I am together we cry, we cry, 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
I drive on the straight 'coz he's my companion
I walk through his field 'coz he knows who I am
He sees my good deeds, and he kisses me windy
I'm 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
One time, two time, three time, four time
It's hard to believe there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have his love the city he 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
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
All the way, all the way, all the way
All the way, all the way, all the way

I saw anthony (band member of red hot chilli pepper) on some documentary saying that he was driving along the freeway in L.A once and he was really depressed. He felt like there was no one he could connect with and he was completely alone in the universe, so he started singing to himself, and this is what he sung.
The verses at least.
The chorus is about how he didn't want to feel that lonely ever again, he wanted to go to the place he loves, which was being in a band, making music, and etc....
The under the bridge downtown part is about when he was a drug addict, his only friend in the world was a drug contact called mario, and they lied to a mexican gang or something to be able to pass through this alley to get under a bridge in downtown L.A to use their drugs that they'd just got, and he said he regarded it as a real low point in his life.
So there you have it, under the bridge is about being lonely and depressed.
i guess sape2 yg dengar lagu ni sometimes bleh relate jgk...dgn lagu ni...
I know the real meaning of the song as it relates to Anthony's drug habit but it has a real meaning to me too.
My wife had left me for someone else and filed for divorce. I moved to a place of my own in a city miles away. At that time I had few local friends and was very alone. There was one day when I was gripped with loneliness unlike anything I had ever known. I set about to make sure I never felt like that again.
I would spend many hours walking the streets and neighborhoods.
I really loved the city. It was beautiful and I almost felt that the city loved me too. It was all I had.
I heard this song again recently and boy did it hit home. I felt like that at one time and sometimes still do. Almost exactly except for last verses.
i especially love when he says "It's hard to believe there's nobody out there. It's hard to believe that I'm all alone". That was me.
But the city, she loved me and I wasn't alone.
Sound a little crazy even to me sometimes but it sure makes me relate to this song.
