If you're looking for a tune that's dripping with emotional syrup, buckle up! "Dosed" by Red Hot Chili Peppers is a heartfelt serenade to the one who got away—or rather, the one who never quite was. The lyrics paint a picture of unrequited love and longing, wrapped up in metaphors about mountains and seahorses (because why not keep things interesting?). The protagonist is dosed, not with medicine, but with a heavy hit of affection that's closer than most yet still out of reach. It’s like reaching for the last cookie in the jar and realizing it’s just a crumb. So what’s the remedy? According to our lovelorn singer: acceptance and moving on. Easier sung than done, right?
Dosed
Lyrics
I got dosed by you, and
Closer than most to you, and
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away
I never had it anyway
Take it away
And everything will be okay
In you, a star is born, and
You cut a perfect form, and
Someone forever warm
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Way up on the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon, I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
Show love with no remorse, and
Climb on to your seahorse, and
This ride is right on course
This is the way I wanted it to be with you
This is the way I knew that it would be with you
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Way up on the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon, I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
I got dosed by you, and
Closer than most to you, and
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away, I never had it anyway
Take it away, and everything will be okay
Way up on the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon, I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
