Snow
Red Hot Chili Peppers̀ Lyrics

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

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

When 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 here what I say oh

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

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
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 like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa, whoa, 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, 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

The song Snow by Red Hot Chili Peppers takes on the themes of self-discovery and the search for meaning in one's life. The singer is reflecting on their past behavior and comes to the realization that the things they did were just to get high on. The singer feels the need for something more than just themselves to help them move forward in life. They want to step away from their current state of being and experience something new, whether it be in the sea or sky. The singer understands that they rely on something bigger than themselves to push forward.

The singer questions themselves on when they will see that they can no longer keep going back to the same things that used to give them happiness. They understand that they need to look inside themselves to find what truly makes them happy. The singer comes to the belief that they should not leave before they have a chance to experience what life has to offer. They need to look inside themselves to find the answers they are searching for.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "hey oh" multiple times. It seems to be a call to action, to listen to what the singer has to say, to listen to the revelation they have had. The song ends with a repetition of the line "Tell my love now," which suggests an urgency in the singer's message.

Come to decide that the things that I tried Were in my life just to get high on
Realized that my past actions were simply to seek pleasure

When I sit alone Come get a little known But I need more than myself this time
When I'm alone, I can only entertain myself for so long and need human interaction

Step from the road to the sea to the sky And I do believe that we rely on
Moving and exploring new places is necessary for growth and development

When I lay it on Come get to play it on All my life to sacrifice
I'm willing to give everything I have to achieve my goals

Hey oh Listen what I say, oh I got your hey oh Now listen what I say, oh
Hey, listen to what I'm saying because it's important and I have your attention

When will I know that I really can't go To the well once more time to decide on?
When will I realize that I can no longer make the same mistakes and need to make a final decision?

When it's killing me When will I really see All that I need to look inside
When I am faced with difficulties, I need to look within myself for guidance and clarity

Come to believe that I better not leave Before I get my chance to ride
I need to take opportunities when they arise rather than walking away from them

What do I really need All that I need to look inside
I need to figure out what is truly important to me by self-reflection

The more I see, the less I know The more I like to let it go Hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
The more I experience, the more I realize how little I know and how important it is to let go of things out of my control

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
I feel trapped in a world that seems flawless to outsiders, but is full of division and uncertainty internally

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed And there's nowhere to go
I feel lost and directionless, with no clear path to follow

When to descend to amend for a friend All the channels that have broken down
If I need to make amends with a friend, I must be willing to put in the effort to repair any broken bonds

Now you bring it up I'm gonna ring it up Just to hear you sing it out
I'll bring up a topic of conversation just to hear you talk about it and bring your voice to the forefront of our interaction

The more I see, the less I know The more I like to let it go Hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
The more I experience, the more I realize how little I know and how important it is to let go of things out of my control

I said hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now Hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
I am urging someone to express their love for someone else

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
I feel trapped in a world that seems flawless to outsiders, but is full of division and uncertainty internally

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed And there's nowhere to go
I feel lost and directionless, with no clear path to follow

I said hey oh yeah, oh yeah Tell my love now Hey, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I am still urging someone to express their love for someone else
