Otherside
Red Hot Chili Peppers (GAMPER DADONI Remix) Lyrics

How long how long will I slide
The singer is questioning how long their downward spiral will continue.

Separate my side I don't
The singer doesn't want to be torn apart by their own conflicting thoughts and feelings.

I don't believe it's bad
Despite their struggles, the singer doesn't believe their situation is entirely negative.

Slit my throat it's all I ever
The artist feels trapped and hopeless, like the only escape is death.

I heard your voice through a photograph
The artist is reminiscing about a past relationship and how it still affects them.

I thought it up and brought up the past
The singer is actively revisiting memories of their past relationship.

Once you've gone you can never go back
The singer understands that once a relationship is over, it's impossible to turn back time and fix it.

I've got to take it on the other side
The artist has to move on and leave the past behind them.

Centuries are what it meant to me
The artist has been dealing with the pain of this past relationship for what feels like centuries.

A cemetery where I marry the sea
The artist feels like they're in mourning, and the ocean is the only thing that can understand their pain.

Stranger things could never change my mind
No matter how unexpected a situation may be, the singer's mind is already made up about the past.

Take it on
The artist is urging themselves to face their problems head-on.

Pour my life into a paper cup
The singer is pouring their emotions out, but they feel like it's useless and pointless.

The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
The singer feels like they're oversharing and burdening others with their emotional baggage.

She wants to know am I still a slut
The singer feels judged and misunderstood by others who may not know the full story of their past.

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
The artist is seeking comfort in a new partner, but their past still haunts them.

A candidate for a soul mate bled
The artist has been through heartbreak before and is hesitant to fully commit to a new partner.

Push the trigger and pull the thread
The singer is making a risky decision and hoping for the best outcome.

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
The singer wants to feel alive and forget about their troubles through a passionate experience.

Burn me out leave me on the other side
The artist is willing to risk getting hurt again in order to move past their emotional pain.

I yell and tell it that it's not a friend
The artist is acknowledging that their addiction or coping mechanism is not healthy for them.

I tear it down I tear it down
The artist is actively trying to break their negative habits and behaviors.

And then it's born again
Despite their efforts, the singer knows that their struggles will likely resurface in the future.

How long I don't believe it's bad
Repeating the previous lines, the artist is still questioning how long their struggle will continue, but still believes that it's not entirely negative.

Slit my throat it's all I ever
Repeating the previous lines, the singer feels trapped and hopeless, seeing no way out of their struggles except death.
