  • My tendency for dependency
    Is offending me
    It's upending me
    I'm pretending see to be strong and free
    From my dependency
    It's warping me
    (Whoa)

    So much love, so rare to dare
    Afraid of ever being there
    Take me home, I need repair
    Take me, please, to anywhere

    Descend
    All the way, all the way
    (Whoa)

    Descended from demented men
    Struggle with the art of Zen
    Please don't look too close at me
    You might not like what you see

    She said
    All the way, all the way
    Everyday
    Warped and scared
    Of being there, of being there

    Craving sends me crawling, whoa
    Beg for mercy, does it show?
    A vacancy that's full of holes
    Hold me please, I'm feeling cold

    She said
    All the way, all the way
    Everyday
    Warped and scared
    Of being there, of being there Writer/s: Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith, David Michael Navarro, Michael Balzary

  • Deepkick from Montreal, QcI asked Chad Smith (at a drum clinic) why they never play any songs from One Hot Minute (my all time favourite record) and he said (with his eyes rolling) that "John, apparently never listened to any of the songs from OHM, so that's why they're not played." Which I also read in a rock magazine (interviewing John). Personally, I find that inside and kinda bull, but John is insane so it doesn't really surprize me.
  • Evan from Kali, MiThis song really impressed me, it's so powerful and different from the rest of their work.
  • Luke from Manchester, EnglandThis song has to be one of the best Chili's songs written, for sheer aggression and musicianship.
