Otherside
Red Hot Chili Peppers · Live in Hyde Park [2004]
How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I gotta take it on the otherside
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I gotta take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spilling my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I gotta take it on the otherside
A scarlet starlet
And she's in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I gotta take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
(How long will I slide)
How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
(I)
I don't
(Don't)
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
Turn me on
Take me for a hard ride
Burn me out
Leave me on the other side
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend
I tear it down
I tear it down and then it's born again
(How long)
How long
How long will I slide
(I slide)
Separate my side
(I)
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever had
(How long)
I don't
(I don't)
I don't believe it's bad
(Side)
(I don't)
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
How long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I gotta take it on the otherside
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I gotta take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup

Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Recorded live at Hyde Park in 2004, "Otherside" captures the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the height of their funk-rock dominance. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of slurred guitar riffs, rhythmic basslines, and Anthony Kiedis's melodic vocals, delivered with the energy of a stadium performance. As part of the "Live in Hyde Park" album, the recording showcases the group's ability to translate their studio craft into a visceral, high-octane live experience. The song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the band's enduring influence on alternative rock and their mastery of groove-based instrumentation during the early 2000s.
