666 Lyrics
Something these days in the air
I’m afraid to sing this song
‘Cuz no one answers me
Got in the way of this one chance of mine
I threw it back
It wasn’t gonna last
I jumped ahead
There was a slipstream
One good feeling there
I got out quick
Lower than I go
I’m a pinball
Sticking through a lot
Then down the side wall
The drop
The drop
I must have been alone
In the meantime
Nothing comes my way
I’m proud to say
I crossed a line
I said goodbye
This state to recreate
Is the drain of time
I lead you on
There were no days to wait for
No carrying on
Life’s still a disease
Help it along
It’s a sure thing
Everyone I meet is a laughing star
The drop
The drop
You all should walk through a poster
You should see how things align
Change how you see a decline
See how high you really climb
You all should walk through a poster
You should see how things align
Change how you see a decline
See how high you really climb
You all should walk through a poster
You should see how things align
Change how you see a decline
See how high you really climb
The drop
The drop
I’m afraid to sing this song
‘Cuz no one answers me
Got in the way of this one chance of mine
I threw it back
It wasn’t gonna last
I jumped ahead
There was a slipstream
One good feeling there
I got out quick
Lower than I go
I’m a pinball
Sticking through a lot
Then down the side wall
The drop
In the meantime
Nothing comes my way
I’m proud to say
I crossed a line
I said goodbye
This state to recreate
Is the drain of time
I lead you on
There were no days to wait for
No carrying on
Life’s still a disease
Help it along
It’s a sure thing
Everyone I meet is a laughing star
The drop
You should see how things align
Change how you see a decline
See how high you really climb
You should see how things align
Change how you see a decline
See how high you really climb
You should see how things align
Change how you see a decline
See how high you really climb
The drop

More John Frusciante

Song to Sing When I'm Lonely

The Past Recedes

The Will to Death

Dying Song

Carvel

i read an interview with john frusciante, and he said the title of the song came from the 3 measures of 6/4 during the chorus, hence 666. yeah it makes sense.
Ah, that does make perfect sense to me now.
Ah, that does make perfect sense to me now.

i think it's about someone in pain who knows they are in pain and are trying to do something about it and being proud of trying even though they knwo that they are not able to try hard enough becaus eit is just not in their power to do so therefoe the drop!
they don't rcoginize that they are actually stronger than what they think they are though

He was reading a book about Alister Crawley at that time, so this one and I'm Around are ispired by it
