Michigan is the birth place of the legends anthony kiedis and the amazing chad smith. It includes 'lions and tigers' because anthony's name can be shortened to tony and he said he stoked a tiger and made a conecction. And he was born in the year of the tiger. It can also refer to the pro sports teams of detroit, michigan, the detroit lions and detriot tigers. Also this masterpiece talks about how michigan is mitten shaped. 'a mitten full of fishermen'.

While it is about Anthony being from Michigan, I think it's more about hime escaping to his father's house in Michigan to get clean. The opening "life is my friend.. alludes to him enjoying his life again when clean. Most of the rest of it shows appreciation for the simpler, purer life away from the fake shallow California he was written about so often before.

Hey man, it's not his dad's house where he got clean. His dad was always in Cali, and he got his son into drugs. Why the hell would his dad help him get clean at his house in Michigan, when he created this problem? Read the book, Scar Tissue, and you'll figure out that his mom's house has always been his sanctuary, and it still is to this day. Idiot.

It's about escaping from his dads drug filled house to live with his mum for the first semester of 9th or 10th grade I can't remember and it's when his youngest sister was born. "show me how to make her grin when I'm in Michigan" saying that is mum is happy to see after he had been away.
