Lyrics for Dosed as interpreted by Rocky1480

Dosed Lyrics
I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay
In you a star is born and
You cut a perfect form and
Someone forever warm
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
Show love with no remorse and
Climb on to your seahorse and
This ride is right on course
This is the way I wanted it to be with you
This is the way that I knew that it would be with you
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay
Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

Definately my favorite song from By The Way. This song is about losing the closest person to you and having no remorse about the death, because you spent the best times with her.

"What am I supposed to do
Take it away I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay "

"Show love with no remorse and
Climb on to your seahorse and
This ride is right on corse "

These two basically say that it was her time, that he doesn't regret anything.

Simply, one of the best songs I've ever heard, lyrically and musically.

Yeah, I think this the best song too. I was surprised no one already submitted the lyrics, so I did :) It's another song about love......... but I still like it a lot. I dunno if some of those things are the right words, tell me if you think different. And also, I got it with WinMX, but I kept getting by the way or looped versions of this song. But do not be discouraged, for I have found the right version of this song.

According to the booklet inside, these are the only corrected lyrics i came across:

"Way upon the mountain where she died
All i ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon i can't hide
All i ever wanted was your life"

i dont think the person died on a mountain, i think the mountain is a sign of an addiction that just kept on mounting meaning she came to the highest summit of addiction and died.

i think its about being close to someone that is additced in some form and then the relationship went bad but he never really got to be with the person because they were so dillusional and addicted

i got dosed by you, closer than most to you take it away and everything will be ok, take it away I never had it anyway

like take the memory of the person away and everything will be ok, she didn't feel the same way(because of the drugs) so it wasn't anything anyway

I think you guys have it wrong. There is no girl. Just drugs. The you is not some drug addicted girl he was in love with, but the drugs that he used himself. It's about being an addict.

I don't know what this song means to Anthony Kiedis (a girl? drugs?) but as I listen to it, I imagine he is singing that there was someone he wanted to get close to, but she pushed him away...
"I got dosed by you/Closer than most to you" meaning that he was rejected, but was also able to get closer to her than anyone else.
I don't think "Way up on the mountain where she died" necessarily implies death, but suggests that the pedestal she was on ended up being destructive.
"Show love with no remorse" and the rest of that verse is his advice to her on how life should be lived.
Since he never did reach her... "Take it away, I never had it anyway" is sort of self explanatory.
How sad, all he ever wanted was her life (aka love). Kiedis can give me a call, I won't shut him out. :)

Well, in my view, this is about his long term girl friend he recently split up with. Basically, he thought he had a perfect relationship with her 'show love with no remorse, climb onto your sea horse, this ride is right on course, this is the way i wanted it to be with you, this is the way i knew that it would be with you'. Kiedis says he got dosed by this person, meaning he was practically addicted to her,loved her and felt he couldn't survive without her, nothing to do with drugs. 'Deep inside the canyon, i can't hide' to me means that no matter where or how hard he tries to hide the feelings he still has for her, he can't.'Take it away i never had it anyway, take it away and everything will be ok' means that if his "love" left him, it couldn't have been real love in the first place and that if he just tried to forget her he would hopefully get over her. Overall its a sad but very sweet love song.

This song makes me wana cry
It can have so many meanings
it can just be about wanting a girl so bad and by trying to be with her even thought you got rejected your closer to her than anyone has ever been.
This is what it means to me cause something like this happened to me this year!

Just like to say as someone who tries to play the guitar the John is the best guitarist of his generation. He's technically fantastic but a lot of good technicians can't actually play with any spirit or life whereas your man is an ace, Thankyou.

And I also think that this song is about heroin ( ?? ) the girl in question is his heroin addiction, thats my view on it anyway, Anthony's always gone trekking in bad times, maybe thats the mountain reference, who knows though ???
