Sonyxmd Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) Hi all, It is undoubtly that Dosed is my most played Chili Pepper song and may even be my favorite. Yet there are no clear definition or explanation given by Anthony Kedis on what Dosed really means. I've searched over the internet and some sites claim it is a measurement for medication and being lovesick. Does anyone know or speculate what Anthony Kedis mean for the word Dosed in this song Thanks, sonyxmd Edited June 14, 2006 by Guest Clarifying query Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Back in the 80's, "dosing" was taking a hit of LSD. I am not familiar with this song, but after reading the lyrics, it sounds like a love song in which the girl dies in the mountains, possibly by the story tellers hand. I am probably wrong. The lyrics made me thing of "Moonlight Drive" by The Doors and "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sonyxmd; if you ever come back & read this thread... I have the assumption that you are pretty correct about the medication hunch. Anthony has a written a lot of material regarding his habits & is under the Morphine need quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulGirl Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 these are the lyrics: Dosed 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 onto your sea horse (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 ok 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 personally i would take more the lovesong approach to interpreting this song. i think that being dosed refers to the intoxicated feeling of being in love.
