SNOW
Red-Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mates have all gone married now
Off living in a kindred cloud
Not that kind
They're cuddled up with kitten's bone
Puddle in their beds at home
I still can't find

Tell me what you wanna see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward now
Do you wanna come with me?
Do you wanna come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer now

I check my stupid phone again
No matter that it's 4 AM
It burns my eyes
Spotlights born to shine at night
Come what may, it always might
Burn so bright

Tell me what you wanna see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward now
Do you wanna come with me?
Do you wanna come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer now

Slow rodeo
Roll over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
Slow rodeo
Hold over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow

High-waisted, she tasted
Like a salacious confrontation salvation
From the salivating demarcation
Of Columbian incarnation
Of the patron saint of palliation
Her milk framed and rose satin
Untamed by the silk
That framed her Manhattan trap door
Which became duly unbattened
She's Latin, out cattin'

Does everything that feels so nice
Come with an inverted price
I still don't know
The ball is clearly in my court
And I am happy to report
It's moving slow

Tell me what you wanna see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward now
Do you wanna come with me?
Do you wanna come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer now

Slow rodeo
Roll over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
Slow rodeo
Hold over, roll over

Of a humbling Colombian
Two socks and a tumble in her slumber skin
The summer wind, we crumble some
The rock and rumble of a tumbling bubblegum
Some other umbrella trellis forgot to tell us
That the mellow tangelo is jealous
For the various and not necessarily contrary shell show
She said, "Hell no"
The cock bottom temple varies like autumn lights soft the cost
The Fibonacci lost her sauce
Into the last remaining hostage boss, sweet toss
Now I lay me down to reap the sleep of your selective sedative
Repetitive
An uncredited she comes well-vetted
Gracefully and studied
Blue steadiness, the wrath, the math
The not yet fractured tabernacle of the Basil Rathbone
And the last disaster casting
Impassible laughter blocks my path
Blue chaff




Blue chaff
Blue chaff

Overall Meaning

The song "Snow" by Red Hot Chili Peppers is a reflective track about the struggles of addiction, self-discovery, and inner peace. The use of snow in the chorus represents the idea of purity and cleanliness, which links to the themes of rebirth and starting anew. The first verse speaks about the things one tries to do to get high and numb the pain, which is a common symptom of addiction. However, the singer realizes that there is more to life than just being alone and high, they need people to connect with.


The second stanza asks the question of when will one realize that they cannot endlessly draw from the same source and that they have to look inwards to find what they need. The line “all that I need to look inside” highlights the importance of self-reflection and introspection as a means of finding answers. The bridge, “the more I see, the less I know,” could suggest that the more we experience, the less we understand about ourselves, pushing us to seek out answers even further.


The final stanza uses the idea of being underneath the “cover of another perfect wonder, where it's so white as snow” to represent being stuck in a state of limbo with no clear way out. The chorus repeats the lines “hey oh, listen what I say” to emphasize the importance of listening to oneself, taking action, and looking within to find what they need.


Overall, "Snow" is a deeply introspective song about the human experience of addiction and the journey towards finding inner peace.


Line by Line Meaning

Come to decide that the things that I tried Were in my life just to get high on
I realize that the things I did in my life were just to feel high


When I sit alone Come get a little known But I need more than myself this time
When I am alone, I introspect but now I need someone by my side


Step from the road to the sea to the sky And I do believe that we rely on
Going above and beyond, I know we depend on something bigger


When I lay it on Come get to play it on All my life to sacrifice
When I share my thoughts, I hope others can relate and I am willing to lose everything for it


Hey oh Listen what I say, oh I got your hey oh Now listen what I say, oh
Listen to me, I have what you seek, I'll tell you all you want to hear


When will I know that I really can't go To the well once more time to decide on?
When do I realize that I can't keep going back to the same source for answers?


When it's killing me When will I really see All that I need to look inside
When something is causing me pain, I need to self-reflect and find the answer within me


Come to believe that I better not leave Before I get my chance to ride
I truly believe that I should not leave until I have my chance to achieve success


When it's killing me What do I really need All that I need to look inside
When something is causing pain, I need to search within myself to find what I truly need


Hey oh Listen what I say, oh Come back and hey oh Look here what I say oh
Listen to me, I have what you seek, come back and hear it


The more I see, the less I know The more I like to let it go Hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
The more I see, the less I understand and prefer to let it go


Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder Where it's so white as snow Privately divided by a world so undecided And there's nowhere to go
Underneath the beautiful exterior lies an uncertain world that isolates individuals


Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed And there's nowhere to go
I am running away from my past, but eventually, there isn't any path left to run on


When to descend to amend for a friend All the channels that have broken down
Sometimes I need to descend and fix our relationship for a friend when things go awry


Now you bring it up I'm gonna ring it up Just to hear you sing it out
You made me realize something important, I want to bring it up so that you can express it


I said hey oh yeah, oh yeah Tell my love now Hey, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Expressing my love for someone I care about

Come to decide that the things that I tried

Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up
I'm gonna ring it up

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
I said hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
I said hey oh yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice.

Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh

When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more - time to decide on.
When it's killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside.
Come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride,
Well it's killing me, what do I really need - all that I need to look inside.

Hey oh... listen what I say oh
Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go;
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow,
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

Ho!

Went to descend to amend for a friend all the channels that have broken down.
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on,
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh... listen what I say oh

The more I see, the less I know
The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow.
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.
Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

I said hey oh yeah oh yeah... tell my love now
Hey yeah yeah... oh yeah.
