Cover art for Soul to Squeeze lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

"I got a bad disease Up from my brain is where I bleed"- psychologically and emotionally ill.

"Insanity it seems It's got me by my soul to squeeze Well all the love from me" its starting to make them feel numb. "all the dying trees I scream The angels in my dream They turn to demons of greed That's me"- they want to feel love but all thei good intentions turn bad

"Where I go I just don't know I got to, got to, gotta take it slow When I've found my piece of mind I'm gonna give you some of my good time" doesnt know if it will ever get better, but if it does their gonna give love to whoever gives it to them or whoever made them better.

"Today love smiled on me It took away my pain, said please I'll let your ride be free You gotta let it be" -something/someone made them feel loved, so their gonna give it back w/o expecting anything else.

"You're so polite indeed Well I got everything I need Oh make my days a breeze And take away my self destruction"-the love is all they need and it makes them stop behaving so destructively

"It's bitter baby and it's very sweet I'm on a rollercoaster but I'm on my feet Take me to the river lay me on your shore Well I'll be coming back baby I'll be coming back for more."-feeling loved, feeling numb is all mixed up and crazy and confusing.

"I could not forget but I will not endeavor Simple pleasures are more special but I won't regret it never" they wont forget how they were self destructive, but they wont try to be like that anymore, but still, they wont regret how they once were.

"Where I go I just don't know I might end up somewhere in Mexico When I find my piece of mind I'm gonna keep for the end of time" -once they get that piece of mind, they wont let it go.

Thanks for actual correct lyrics.
