Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
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 the winded
I never worried, now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
The lyrics for this song where orginally from a poem, written by vocalist Anothony Kiedis wrote. The lyrics express a feelings of loneliness and despondency and to reflect on narcotics and their impact on his life. Under the bridge was where he used to take the drug Heroin. At frist Kieds didnt want the lyrics to be used, as they where quite sad. But the other band members felt the vibes "got up and walked over to their instruments and started finding the beat and guitar chords to match it". Frusciante chose the chords he played in the introduction to balance out the depressing nature of the lyrics, saying "my brain interpreted it as being a really sad song so I thought if the lyrics are really sad like that I should write some chords that are happier" (refrence taken from Wikipedia).
But for my music video I am aiming to stay well clear of any drug related issues or redrences and will replace the drug use will general lonelyness the character feels from loosing his friends and lover.
