Red Hot Chili Peppers – Breaking The Girl lyrics

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Breaking The Girl lyrics

I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

This song is about him being a player like his dad because ever since he was a young kid, his dad would sleep around. He meets this girl whom he has s* with just for the fun of it but the girl becomes attached to him trying to build up a love relationship. What he thought of a simple game, haunts him since now he must let the girl know and leave her. He feels that he's a player and must get rid of the girl, but unfortunately, he has to break her heart in the process.

This is about a rape and how it ruined him. It is commentary on a man secure in the world who took advantage of a woman who was not. It would be appropriate to send the proceeds from such a song to a rape crisis organization or a non-profit to help young men grow up to be honorable human beings. Is there such a group? As good as their music is, I don't listen to them much because o their duality on respect towards women.
