supermonk Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Does anyone understand their lyrics? Especially Californication. I think Californication is a drug, but the lyrics really make no sense. Does anyone understand that song? Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992. Supermonk rocks, I want to have his children.Music is like candy. You always get rid of the rapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 That's one of the many things I love about RHCP... you just can't sing along to any of their songs lol. I don't even try... i invariably make a complete mess of it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 In my opinion, hardly anything they sing about has any meaning, depth, or comprehendability. Which begs the statement, I'm not a fan :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralord Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 lol I love the Chili Peppers for their uncomprehensible lyrics :P http://www.keepingongaming.com/boards -- Sign Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the statement, I'm not a fan :P That's what I like about them though. You don't know what the hell they mean, which makes you think about their song. Unlike rap, which is "I'M COOL! I GET GIRLS! DO DRUGS! I'M RICH YOU SHOUDL ALL BE JEALOUS! I'M DESTROYING THE WORLD BUT I DON'T CARE CAUSE I'M RICH! *Insert pointless obscenity here* " So, yeah. Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992. Supermonk rocks, I want to have his children.Music is like candy. You always get rid of the rapper.

Poopingman Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yeah I really hate how he just mutters irrelevent drivel most of the time. Regardless, musically, they're top notch. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the statement, I'm not a fan :P For me, meaning of lyrics doesnt really matter I just like the music. If you really want some lyrics to ponder over, listen to the last part of Death of a Martian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamable20 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Duude rhcp ROOOOOCKS!!! i went to see them live lol, it was awesome. i find that their lyrics arent rly THAT difficult to understand, i think that fallout boy is more like that :) http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3192/w ... ildxm7.png[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBrown Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I actually like a few lyrics they have in songs. I prefer Frusciante's solo efforts but he basically is the RHCPs now anyway :wink: If you look into the songs they do have meanings though (Not really the funk ones but the other type of songs they have example-Under the Bridge).

To me, under the bridge is about love, but not in a sexual way at all. It's about friends and the place that you call home. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

assassin_696 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Lyrically I think the chili peppers are pretty powerful. I agree that the meaning's aren't always clear, and that some of the lyrics don't make much sense at all, but i've found a lot of meaning in some of their songs. I like looking for meanings in lyrics instead of them just being thrown at me. Californication, quite clearly, is about the influence and corruption of the Hollywood lifestyle on the rest of the world. I could go through each song analysing their meanings if I had a bit more time. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, under the bridge is about love, but not in a sexual way at all. It's about friends and the place that you call home. its actually about his lowest point in life, where he went "under a bridge downtown" with his mexican dealer mario to shoot up their drugs. it expresses his feelings and tells us about his addiction. he loves the town he lives in as he grew up there but it has its downfalls. he says take me to the place i love, which isnt really a place, as he says in the funky monks dvd its where he is with his life, being sober and surrounded by people that love him and he loves. no chili peppers lyrics are pointless, he is a poet, they are just cryptic.

Its about the time that John was very addicted, how he felt. And for Californication, Anthony sings about the fact that every town in the world 'Acts' like california. Anthony says that every big town has a little bit of california in it.
