Under the Bridge

Where trolls lurk

Under the Bridge is a 1992 song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of the band's most recognizable tracks.

The title refers to a location in Los Angeles associated with drug use and isolation.

The phrase has become shorthand for hitting bottom or seeking solace in dark places: That summer I was living under the bridge, metaphorically speaking.
