Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way Lyrics Meaning

No one knows what lyrics mean, sometimes the author, they are a rendition of the subconscious; "standing in line to see the picture show" may mean, waiting to get a fix. 'And there's a light on, heavy glow" is the burning of heroine on tin foil" as in by the way this is what I see in the lyrics. 'The picture show" is what happens when the drug works, good memories in the form of pictures is what he is waiting for, running through his mind. "By the way I tried to say I'd be there..." Is his last thoughts of where he was suppose to be before the drug starts working, that's why the sentence stops or runs off. "Waiting for DANI THE GIRL IS SINGING SONGS TO ME BENEATH THE MARQUEE ... OVERLOAD." This is one of his favorite memories where this girl he had something for would bear her soul by sing songs to him while he listened. The overload is the rush that someone gets as the drugs kick in. The show is his memories being played back from his past as if he were at a picture show. The 'HEAVY GLOW' MAY ALSO BE THE FEELING HE GETS AND SEES AS THE TRIP CONTINUES. This "SHOW" takes away the pain, it's were he goes mentally. I can't see the rest of the lyrics, but she bearing her soul brings him happiness and peace. He keeps trying to say he'd be there, but I think she is dead, and in a way he is dead too. The double meaning, is if he's missing the show, he's recovered, detoxed and can't go there like he use too. "BY The WAY" has an interpretation meaning that to see this show, he has to BUY THE WAY IN WITH MONEY AND SACRAFICING HIS BEING CLEAN. ALSO IT MEANS, BY THE WAY, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME, BUT NOT YOU. THE INTERLUDES WITH THE WORDS REFERRING TO THE SEEDY SIDE OF DRUGS IS WHAT MUST BE DONE TO SEE "THE SHOW". Double entendra is that there is somewhere he should be, but he can't explain all of this to someone else, meaning he never meant to tell them he would be off on a drug trip. The SONG IS YING/YANG, FULL OF OPPOSITES, BUT THE MEMORIES LIKE A PICTURE SHOW IS THE FOCUS OF DANI BEARING HER SOUL, A SPECIFIC MEMORY OR GROUP OF MEMORIES.
