Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner - One of the concequences from heroin, is depression. He took the drugs, the timely effect faded, and he feels so alone. He feels like no one understands him. Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels - He feels like the city, L.A. (the city of angels) is his only friend. This is the place where he gets his drugs. His heroin is all he has at that moment, so his only friend is the city, where he gets that shit. Lonely as I am Together we cry - He feels alone, but he's not the only one who cries about it. The other bandmembers are also trying to deal with addictions and they mention that he's going trough hard times. To together they cry, altough he feels fucking lonely. 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 - He's talking about L.A. again. The city is his only friend. ''She knows who he is'' cause he goes trough the same streets every time, to the same place where he gets his drugs. I never worry Now that is a lie - He wants to say that he isn't worry, but in his head, he knows it's a big fat lie. He knows he's strongly addicted. I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way - He NEVER wants to feel like he did that lonely day. He wants to go to the place he loves (he tells in an interview, ''the place he loves'' is making music with his friends, and to make out with some pretty women) So he wants to be taken all the way to that lovely place, without his addiction. 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) - Repeat of the songtext before this part. It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone - He talks again about his loneliness, and he thinks it's so hard to believe that he is all alone, there is just nobody out there. He feels so alone (it's still that concequence of the drugs whom he is addicted to - heroin.) At least I have her love The city she loves me - At least he has the city, where he gets his drugs. And when he took it again, he feels happy for a short time. Then again he starts telling about he lonely he feels after the drugs faded... Lonely as I am Together we cry - Again a repeat, and as I said, he talks about the loneliness. 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) Ooh no (no no yeah yeah) Love me I say yeah yeah - Chorus :) Under the bridge downtown Is were I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough - Under the bridge, where he often shoot himself up with heroin, is where he drew some blood (the blood out of his syringes which he just used for shooting up) and he just could not get enough from it... Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away (yeah yeah) - This place (under the bridge downtown in L.A.) is where he forgot about everything. He literally gave his life to his drugs. Heroin was controlling him all the time. Ooh no (no no yeah yeah) Here I stay yeah yeah Here I stay - Here I stay is about the place he loves. The time which has come in the meantime, in which he makes music with his friends, makes out with pretty girls and in which he is not dealing with his addiction anymore. |

I'd like to share my interpretation of this beautiful song. Inspired by your comments, but also my imagination. Here is the songtekst with explanation for every small part that I have something for. (Not the whole songtext) My shadow's side, so amplified Keeps coming dissatisfied. - His shadow side (I believe everyone has a sunny, happy side but also a shadow, dark side which is full of depression and sadness) is very amplified but it's dissatisfied because he can't find hapiness and he still struggles with problems. Elementary, son, but it's soul - Hapiness should be the base of a life, it's elementary, right around the corner, seems easy to find but it's not. My love affair with everywhere Was innocent, why do you care? - Love affair with everywhere stands for al his attempts to shake of his problems. He tried everything, but it was innocent, so why would you even care about it? Someone start the car Time to go - He wants to drive away from it's problems, it's time. My sunny side has up and died - The sunny side, (I already told you about it) has up and died, there is no more sunny side in him. All he has is his shadow side. I'm betting now where we collide The universe will shift into a low - I think he's talking about his problems, like his drug addiction (he already quit) but when they will collide again, the universe will split. Automatic laughter from a pro - I believe he wants to explain that he faked laughter during his problems. So he is a pro in faking it. So pro, that it has become automatic. Automatic laughter, from a real pro. My, what a good day for a walk outside I'd like to get to know you a little better baby God knows that I'll really try My what a good day for a take-out bride I'd like to say we did it for the better, oh - He is talking about life. Let's take a good walk outside, and talk about it, he'd like to understand life a bit better and he really tried. Oh, you don't form in the wet sand You don't form at all you don't form in the wet sand- I do. - You can't put a form in wet sand when life (the ocean) rinses it away. With ''I do'' I think he means that he bet his some of his problems and won from life, which can be very hardly. |
