Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you
I hope I get what you deserve
And this is where I find
Smoke surround's your perfect face
And I’m falling
Pushin' a broom out into space
And this is where I found the way
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
Well I’m forming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don’t mind asking now
Alone inside my forest room and it’s stormy
I never thought I’d be in bloom
But this is where I start
Derelict days, and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd that it cannot phase
And I’m calling
Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal get's what the animal needs
And I’m sorry
Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
And I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
Well I’m forming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don’t mind asking now
And this is where I find
Rays of dust that wrap around your citizen
Kind enough to disavow
This is where I stand
Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
And I’m forrming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
Yeah I’m Forming
And I’m warming
To you
When I saw you
I hope I get what you deserve
And this is where I find
Smoke surround's your perfect face
And I’m falling
Pushin' a broom out into space
And this is where I found the way
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
Well I’m forming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don’t mind asking now
Alone inside my forest room and it’s stormy
I never thought I’d be in bloom
But this is where I start
Derelict days, and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd that it cannot phase
And I’m calling
Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal get's what the animal needs
And I’m sorry
Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
And I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
Well I’m forming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don’t mind asking now
And this is where I find
Rays of dust that wrap around your citizen
Kind enough to disavow
This is where I stand
Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
And I’m forrming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don't mind asking
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon)
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon
(Before and afternoon)
Yeah I’m Forming
And I’m warming
To you

And I�m falling
Pushin' a broom out into space
And this is where I found the way" makes me think of a guy who's a lowlife, trying to clean out his mind and heart by sweeping through his soul and cleaning it up for the girl.
Alone inside my forest room and it�s stormy
I never thought I�d be in bloom
But this is where I start
I think it's a reference to Kurt Cobain, or at least Nirvana. I know he had immense respect for the band, and even more for Cobain himself. He also mentions Kurt in Californication and actually wrote about his suicide in Tearjerker. I'm not sure what the song "In Bloom" is about (...yet) so I can't say WHY he added this in the song, but I'm sure it's a nod to KC.
I think this song is saying that "Stadium Arcadium" is another way of saying the place where he can think... where he can be alone. And he saw this girl and now he wants to find her. Thats what it means to me and i couldnt care less if I was wrong.
I love this band so much and is amazing to me that after 100 songs they still manage to come out with songs so full of meaning and so beautiful. Its also amazing to me that anthony kiedis is 46 and is still smoking hot. but even if he wasnt this would still be my favorite band. and i hate that people keep saying stadium arcadium sucks. Its my third favorite album by them. But my favorite song is on there- snow.
"Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you [[He meets a girl he likes]]
I hope I get what you deserve [[He thinks the world of her and wants to feel the same way back]]
And this is where I find
Smoke surround's your perfect face [[Sad emotion making it obscure to be able to meet "face to face". Feelings of "not being good enough"]]
And I’m falling [[Downward spiral of depression]]
Pushin' a broom out into space [[Something that is unique to a person that no one does, but helps the person. You know, that one thing that you do that helps you whenever you feel down?]]
And this is where I found the way [[He toughens up and makes his move]]
The Stadium Arcadium [[Picture perfect place]]
A mirror to the moon
(Mirror to the moon) [[Picture Perfect scenario]]
Well I’m forming and I’m warming
(Warming to you) [[He is mentally rebuilding himself and trying to fix his flaws, for her]]
State of the art until the clouds come crashing [[To be the best there will be till the day the world ends]]
Stranger things have happened both
Before and afternoon [[It may be unbelievable, but it could happen, so don't be quick to judge]]
(Before and afternoon)
Well I’m forming
And I’m warming
(Warming to you)
Pushing myself and no I don’t mind asking now [[Now he feels confident about talking to her about love and his feelings]]
Alone inside my forest room and it’s stormy [[Bad self esteem/loneliness]]
I never thought I’d be in bloom [[Never thought he could fall in love]]
But this is where I start [[but now he has]]
Derelict days, and the stereo plays
For the all night crowd that it cannot phase [[no idea]]
And I’m calling [[he made his move]]
Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal get's what the animal needs [[he messed up, possibly due to something that is very usual or common, hence the "media" or the "norm"]]
And I’m sorry [[pretty self-explanitory]]
And this is where I find
Rays of dust that wrap around your citizen [[Now he sees her in the perfect light and right image]]
Kind enough to disavow [[he gets rid of his older, wrong, thoughts]]
This is where I stand [[and now he says he wont go back to his mistakes]]"
Well, there ya go. That's what I think. I don't care if I'm wrong or anything, just wanted to share.
I hope I get what you deserve." I love you soo much I want to replace my pleasure with your pain and have you take my pleasure in my life."
Smokes around your perfect face and I'm falling. "Love at first site."
Pushing a broom out into space and this is where I find a way. " My mind is going crazy trying to figure out how to make you mind."
You should be able to figure out the rest of song from there.
dont know, dont care, just love the song
