He can not help. Yes! i always thought of the song as being about drug use and a girl.
Oh. The Fall of your life comes just before intractable decline and inevitable death. i fully agree with pretty much everything you said here.

I see where you can get that. })(); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It's almost all about addiction, y'all.
good job with this song. For one, the scar tissue is basically the pain that he is maybe hiding from the world but for some reason wants this one girl to see what he is actually going through. "Blood loss in a barthroom stall" is the blood that leaks out of needle's entry point. "Nuclear Device (The Wizard of Aus)" was written about the then Premier of Queensland, Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

He can only watch the helpless downward spiral of his savior.
the song came to kiedis while the band were working on material at flea's home in the Hollywood hills.
