Red Hot Chili Peppers – Warped

  General Comment:During thi album Anthony started to do drugs again. For a long time he kept it a secret from everyone he knew. This song is a cry for help. For example:
  
  So much love
  So rare to dare
  Afraid of
  Ever being there
  Take me home
  I need repair
  Take me please
  To anywhere
  
  See?
  
  
  Please don’t look
  Too close at me
  You might not like
  What you see
  
  That line suggests he doesn't really want to be found out. But he still wants help.

  General Comment:during the making of this album, anthony was on drugs and hiding it from the rest of the band. hence the lyrics to warped. "im pretending see to be strong and free, from my dependency, its warping me"dave was on drugs too but not hiding it.

  General Comment:sht, I thought he said "she said all the way"...guess I was wrong...
  yeah, it's really one of their most hc songs, it f'n rocks
  I like what chad is doing, he really gives his best every time, but almost no one seemes to notice it cause he's kinda not exposing himself like the rest of chilis...
  strong lyrics, AK struggling with himself, ghosts from the past (drugs, ppl that passed away...)

    I thought Tony said "she said all the way" as well! I think it goes "descend" the first time but "she said" twice afterwards. Maybe I'm wrong, just a guess.
    
    Chad Smith is one of the most talented and underrated drummers on the planet.

  General Comment:Awesome song and one of the best album openers of all time! No one said anything about Chad's drumming in this one... jesus christ, that bass drum is making my head explode.

  General Comment:i really love the part at the end of the video when dave just sort of settles into anthony's lap and anthony starts stroking his hair. i think it was soo cute and symbolic of the hardships anthony and the band have been through and how they need comfort.
  
  and the kiss was definetlyyyy sexy.

  General Comment:Anthony relapsed after 6 years of being sober. He went to the dentist to get some teeth pulled and the dentist made a mistake and had to give anthony a shot. Anthony immediately scored some drugs afterwards and has struggled ever since. He wrote this song because he hadn't told anyone about his relapse and addiction, and the shame was killing him.

  General Comment:maybe im looking in2 this song too much, but maybe the actual music is ment 2 represent shooting drugs. with quiet and the sudden high or loudness. the song ends very abruptly too.....coming down perhaps? i dunno wat u think

  General Comment:He might say "Night craving sends me crawling" but it really does not sound like it at all. Seriously, listen to it.
