| This is by far my favorite song ever and I think it's about a girl he loves but realizes he can't have her and wishes her well, but im a half-retarded dumbass | |

| Im with you on that one - lots of references to how he`s fallen for this girl. 'Our secret theme' surely refers to a song which reminds him of her just she doesnt know it! | |

| suckmykiss, i think you are on the right track, this song could meana lot of things and peolpe see things other ways, i think this is about drugs, you peolpe keep saying "stop saying drugs about everything". but you must realise that drugs are a major part of there lives and have been for 15 -20 or 25 years. they have lost friends ,many freinds and have all struggled thru drug prob's. "john say's to live above hell" john has been to the lowest point , so that's what i take that line as, anthony saying ,john has told me and is helping me to not go to that place. " i want to taste the taste of being face to face with common grace" anthony is saying he want to taste life straigt,drug free. " to meditate on the warmest dream" him,flea and john are all keen meditaters now. " sit alone in the sun, i wrote a letter to you , i'm getting over my self" that could be a letter he wrote john when they were apart, about getting over drug's himself, like writing to a friend and telling them your progress with your troubles | |

| This song is about drugs. Close to my skin I'm falling in? Can we say heroin? Left alone in another zone? Meditate on the warmest dream, shooting heroin makes you feel very warm and cozy. Just look through the lyrics, it's obvious. | |

| personally speaking, this was one of the songs i remember listening to shortly after a previous breakup. it was done through email, and as i was writing a reply to his, one of the lines i heard was "sit alone in the sun/I wrote a letter to you/getting over myself." ...listening to this song tends to make me sad. | |

| I agree with Kiefy. It`s all about wanting someone REAL bad and they just don`t wanna know. Like someone who`s almost like a best friend but thats it, hence the see right through line. | |

| "its such a waste to be wasted in the first place" dont fake your love towards someone, cuz if they find out its fake, things might not go too well... my 2 cents | |

| I have to agree with stillwater on this one. I had emailed it to my Lady a few minutes ago. She and I are HUGE RHCP fans. She just left to go back home and since I miss her, I felt this was appropriate to send her. | |
