Lyrics:
How long, how long
Will I slide?
Well separate my side
I donāt
I donāt believe itās bad
Slittin' my throat
Itās all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up
And brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I gotta take it on the otherside
Well centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
The stranger things that never change my mind
I gotta take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on
How long, how long
Will I slide?
A-separate my side
I donāt
I donāt believe itās bad
A-slittin' my throat
Itās all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full
And Iām spillin' my guts
She want to know
Am I still a slut?
I gotta take it on the otherside
A scarlet starlet and sheās in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Mmm-push the trigger
And I pull the thread
I gotta to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on
[Chorus]
How long, how long
Will I slide?
Separate my side
I donāt
I donāt believe itās bad
A-slittin' my throat
Itās all I ever
Turn me on
Take me for a hard ride
Burn me out
Leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that itās not my friend
I tear it down, I tear it down
And then itās born again
How long, how long
Will I slide?
Separate my side
I donāt
I donāt believe itās bad
A-slittin' my throat
Itās all I ever had
(How long)
I donāt
I donāt believe itās sad
A-slittin' my throat
Itās all I ever

For those who are wondering, this song refers to one of the band members, Hillel Slovak who died of a heroin overdose on June 25, 1988. This song talks about his struggles from this addiction. The name of the song, āOthersideā is also used to say āafterlifeā. Although it is sung by Anthony Kiedis, it is supposed to be Slovakās voice and his perspective towards the situation. This song talks about how Slovak knows how much the drug has affected him and how he must kill himself to end his addiction. This song also shows his struggles to end this addiction by saying, āI yell and tell it (drugs) that itās not my friend; I tear it down tear it down, and then itās born again.ā His constant struggle is also shown in the music video which shows a man waking up and then finding himself in the same position at the end of the video which means that it is a cycle that never changes and that never will change. The video also shows his struggles by having a scene where the man (Slovak) is fighting against his shadow which shows that he was initially fighting with himself due to the addiction. In general, this song is not only showing people Slovakās struggles but also showing many other peopleās struggles with the same problem.

This came out the year my dad passed, my mom abandoned me, and I stayed in a broken house that literally didn't have a back wall. School was my sanctuary, this song reminds me of the strength it gave me back then, and now when I need it every now and then. Absolutely amazing song.
