Red Hot Chili Peppers – Long Progression Lyrics 11 years ago
At first thought, it seems to me like this song is generally about adapting. You can't do the same thing for too long, especially in the music industry; it just becomes boring after a while. To last and to keep it interesting for yourself and others, you have to try new things, explore new territory.

That idea fits perfectly with this band; having been around for nearly 30 years, they are constantly changing, evolving, and growing. No two albums are the same, and they love exploring new areas of music and art.

Of course, any other interpretation is just as valid as mine, that's what the Chili Peppers are all about: taking what you can from the art, and it meaning something special and unique to everyone.

Also, in the chorus, I believe it's, "Bishop takes the knight" and not, "This shift takes a knife."
