| Charlie = Cocaine Little woman = One of John's many dealers Flea's wrist = The mark wear he shoots coke Pick up that smell = The smell of cocaine Run like hell = Running away because he is afraid of slipping back into the patterns he has slipped into so many times before, or maybe running towards the cocaine to fulfill his desire | |

| This song is not based on cocaine. Anthony said that Charlie is your imagination but that it could also be a girl or cocaine, drugs were not the inspiration for the song. | |

| From Anothony: Lyrically: Charlie is your imagination - that little sparkle that you get when you think of something. But, he says: It can be anything for you - your girlfriend, your family, your favorite bicycle..whatever you want it to be. | |

| Even if "charlie" is a slang word for cocaine, I don't think this song is about drugs...or rather I hope it isn't. It would change the tone of the music for me, if you know what I mean. Anway...I was thinking, and Alanis Morissette's song, "Mary Jane" has nothing to do with marijuana, but yet the name would elude to that...so just because the songs called Charlie doesn't really imply anything. But at this point I wouldn't be suprised if the song is about or not about cocaine. Either way it'sd an AMAZING song that's awesome to groove to :) | |

| If any of you have read Anthony's book, he has been clean and sober since 2000. Even though this song MIGHT be about drugs, I highly doubt he is having a relapse. He's very adament about staying clean and has been for a little over 6 years so somehow I doubt it's talking about a relapse. And just because you write a song about something that MIGHT be cocaine, doesn't mean you're doing the drug. | |
