Soul to Squeeze
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

I've got a bad disease
The singer has a negative condition that affects their experience

But from my brain is where I bleed
The singer's emotional pain is causing their turmoil

Insanity it seems
The condition has become overwhelming for the singer

Has got me by my soul to squeeze
The condition is so intense that it is affecting the artist's spirit negatively

Well all the love from thee
Despite this condition, the artist acknowledges and thanks their supportive partner

With all the dying trees I scream
The environment around the singer is reflecting their inner turmoil

The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Previously positive visions have become tainted

Have turned to demons of greed that's mean
The previously positive dreams have become hellish

Where I go I just don't know
The artist is uncertain of their direction in life

I got to got to gotta take it slow
To avoid a worsening of their condition, the artist needs to move at a careful pace

When I find my piece of mind
The singer seeks peace and tranquility

I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Once the artist finds peace, they will share their happiness with their partner

Today love smiled on me
The singer experienced a positive moment

It took away my pain say please
This moment healed the singer's emotional pain

All that you had to free
The singer is grateful for their partner's actions

You gotta let it be oh yeah
The artist's partner should not hold onto negative feelings

Oh, so polite indeed
The artist appreciates their partner's good nature

Well I got everything I need
Despite their previous struggles, the singer now feels fulfilled

Oh make my days a breeze
The singer wants stress-free happiness

And take away my self destruction
The artist wants to avoid negative patterns that can cause harm to themselves

It's bitter baby
Life can be difficult

And it's very sweet
But it can also be enjoyable

I'm on a rollercoaster
Life is a wild ride with its ups and downs

but I'm on my feet
Despite the unpredictability, the artist remains standing

Take me to the river
The singer seeks a fresh start

Let me on your shore
They seek a new environment that is supportive and refreshing

I'll be coming back baby
The singer is willing to try again even after previous struggles

I'll be coming back for more
They are eager to continue experiencing what life has to offer

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Non-sensical sound effect

Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad
Non-sensical sound effect

I could not forget
The singer can't erase past memories

But I will not endeavor
The artist is not actively seeking to forget either

Simple pleasures aren't as special
The artist has become less attached to material desires

But I won't regret it never
Despite this shift in perspective, they will not hate themselves for wanting material things

I might end up somewhere in Mexico
The singer is open to unexpected, unplanned possibilities

When I find my piece of mind
Peace of mind is still a priority

I'm gonna keep you for the end of time
The singer wants to share their life with their supportive partner forever
