Red Hot Chili Peppers: The Zephyr Song Meaning
Song Released: 2002
The Zephyr Song Lyrics
Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on
Take a look its on display - for you
Coming down no not today
Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off...

Seriously...there are 3 real opinions here...drugs/peace/patriotism the last is obviously wrong considering the time the song came out....the first two are probably both right...

To the first guy, didn't by the way come out AFTER 9/11
-
first guy. your stupid.
anyway. a zephyr is a west wind so, fly away on my zephyr= fly away on my west wind= get away from it all, also more evidence is the lyicin this this perfect weather and the following two lines.
unrelated the truth is,i looked it up, it is about starting anew.
also guy that said he couldn't think of any non-drug related songs, you r stupid, let me think.... oh yea, dani california, tell me baby, animal bar,... This, if(the song).
post a 1 at the top of your interpritation if you agree with me -
i think it's about Faries and butterflies.
-
I personally think its either about an acid trip or doing it.

Yes, you could interpret it on a drug addiction context, but more that that, I think it is of peace. Of a world-forgetting tendency. 'All the world can pass me by'. This means, no worries, no matter what happens, 'I'm gonna live forever'. FLY AWAY, on my zephyr, some kind of light breeze or wind, relaxing, calm. Drugs, can be also related, as come cause the typical feeling of freedom, 'I feel it more than ever, and in this perfect weather, we'll find a place together'. Together, high feeling maybe? because, there is no love reference in the song. But I stick to my position of no-drugs. The song is about pure freedom, of mind, body, soul, etc.

i agree with the person above and if you watch the video, hell you don't need drugs! not to criticise or anything but how many songs do they have about taking drugs and staying clean? I don't mean it in a bad way =D

Thanks for that bit of american patriotism, which I happen to think is idiotic, but hey. This songs focus is on drugs, and anthony's struggle with them. "pick it up its not to strong for you take a piece and pass it on." this has clear drug use overtones. He talks about their effect on him too,
"in the water where the scent of my emotion
all the world will pass me by
fly away on my zephyr
were gonna live forever."
great song. Suprised there aren't more interpretations. -
