Lyric discussion by complete_loner 

i saw anthony 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 "making love with beautiful women" :). 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.
