Kiedis wrote many of the lyrics during a period of depression. After struggling with heroin and cocaine addiction, he had been sober for roughly three years. He felt that this had distanced him from his bandmates, who continued to use marijuana together; Kiedis felt that Frusciante was "no longer in [his] world".[5] Driving home after rehearsal in April 1991, Kiedis thought of his addiction during his relationship with his former girlfriend Ione Skye. He wrote in his 2004 memoir Scar Tissue: "The loneliness that I was feeling triggered memories of my time with Ione and how I'd had this beautiful angel of a girl who was willing to give me all of her love, and instead of embracing that, I was downtown with fucking gangsters shooting speedballs under a bridge."[5]

One verse discusses the harsh effects of drugs, their role in destroying Kiedis's relationships, and their impact on his happiness.[8] The verse recounts his experience entering gang territory under a bridge to purchase drugs; to gain access, Kiedis pretended that a sister of one of the gang members was his fiance. Kiedis wrote that this was one of his lowest moments, as it demonstrated the level to which he was willing to sink for his addiction.[3][8]

Kiedis has refused to reveal the location of the bridge, saying only that it is in downtown Los Angeles.[3] Using details provided by Kiedis in his autobiography, writer Mark Haskell Smith concluded that the bridge was in MacArthur Park;[9] however, this contradicts Kiedis's assertion that the bridge was under a freeway.[10] Other possible locations include the Belmont Tunnel about half a mile from MacArthur Park,[11] and the overpass where Interstate Highway 10 (the Santa Monica Freeway) crosses Hoover Street close to downtown L.A.[12]

In the fantasy world Geralt can interactive with a red pepper that is found under a bridge. At first I was trying to figure out what fairy tale this could be a reference to, then I realized it was a reference to the Red Hot Chili Peppers song Under the Bridge.

i saw anthony on some documentary saying that he was driving along the freeway in L.A once and he was really depressed. He felt like there was no one he could connect with and he was completely alone in the universe, so he started singing to himself, and this is what he sung. The verses at least.The chorus is about how he didn't want to feel that lonely ever again, he wanted to go to the place he loves, which was being in a band, making music, and "making love with beautiful women" :).the under the bridge downtown part is about when he was a drug addict, his only friend in the world was a drug contact called mario, and they lied to a mexican gang or something to be able to pass through this alley to get under a bridge in downtown L.A to use their drugs that they'd just got, and he said he regarded it as a real low point in his life.So there you have it, under the bridge is about being lonely and depressed.

Being a guy who was once wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, not only with money but friends and family until the needle found it's way into my life I know precisley what Anthony is singing about. NO one can actually know until they have been reduced to driving around all night either looking for dope or a place to shoot it. At that point you can't think of anyhting else. Hiding in a bathroom stall or in a park or yes even under a bridge. Squeezing ice cubes from a soft drink to drip water into a bottle cap to cook your dope then going on a vein hunt in the dark. Sticking sticking sticking yourself until FINALLY you register. At that point nothign else matters. Then suddenly after you fix, blood still running down your arm from several missed attempts....your high. Then when your mind can think of something else rather than getting off do you start to hate yourself. You think about all the good you have thrown away in your life. Friends...gone, Family...gone. The respect you had spent a lifetime earnig from others....gone. NO one to call, No where to go. No one cares. Your just another F*&#@ junkie. Until youve lived it. Until youve had that stench in your nostrils. UNtil youve curled up some where with blood crusted fingers and cryed yourself to sleep you can never really know. But you can enjoy the song. Peace

Anthony was travelling through L.A. after finished a drug binge and realised how beautiful his city was. He wrote the song that night and went over to John's and they finished it the next day. The name of the song was inspired from a time Anthony took drugs under a bridge with a Mexican (?) drug lord from the mafia.

The Variety Arts Theatre is at 9th and Figueroa, near Staples Center. If the bridge is nearby, it would have to be underneath either the 10 or 110 freeways, in the heart of Pico-Union.

New York mag's Vulture website claims to have located the infamous scene of one of the classic anthems of the nineties (and one of the classic LA jams of all time): the Red Hot Chili Peppers's ode to Los Angeles, "Under the Bridge." The song, which references a past time when Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis used heroin "under the bridge downtown," was impossible to miss back then, is still a KROQ staple, and will probably be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Of course it's possible that the song's operatic reference to "under the bridge downtown" is a metaphor for a life lived in the seedy underbelly of LA. However, Kiedis affirmed the literalness of the reference in a 1992 interview with Rolling Stone, in which he admitted that the bridge exists in Downtown, but was unwilling to specify where: "It's downtown ... but it's unimportant. I don't want people looking for it."

"The First Street bridge is a steel stringer structure that spans Figueroa Street. It is open to a busy street and offers the narrowest of walkways underneath. I'm not sure you could even sit down there without getting run over. The bridge at Temple and Figueroa, a 44-foot span built in 1940, has a similar problem. There's just no 'under' under there. In fact, the only bridge that looked even remotely likely -- where Beverly Boulevard crosses over Glendale Boulevard -- is, like the others, too exposed to traffic for late-night speedball fun."

"Kiedis said that he went 'under the bridge' in 1988. By that point, the park had become notoriously drug infested and dangerous. A Los Angeles Times article from April '89 headlined 'Drug Users Overrun MacArthur Park' cited rampant and open drug use in the park, and a subsequent police crackdown that year yielded 859 drug arrests in the first quarter alone."

I ran into some fairly unscrupulous characters involved with miniature Mafioso drug rings, and the hangout for one of these gangs was this particular location under a bridge. I ended up going there with this gang member, and the only way that I was allowed to go under this bridge was for him to tell everybody else that I was getting married to his sister. You had to be family to go there. Rolling Stone June 1992 e24fc04721
