Cover art for Otherside lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Yep, this is a pretty kikazz song. As I was reading the lyrics though, I think it might be about suicide, or just death in general. "Slit my throat" Otherside could be relating to the afterlife. "Once you've gone you can never go back"

Also, I think it may be relating to drug use because of the line, "Burn me out leave me on the otherside" Burn is a term for smoking marijuana, so "Burn me out" would be like, "get me stoned" and "leave me on the otherside" could mean that he likes being in that other state of mind, or being stoned, the drug world is the otherside and he wants to stay there.

Just my two cents though.

Push the trigger and pull the thread... shooting heroin? I have heard this song was based on drug use. Knowing that Anthony had drug problems with Heroin, I think this is about when he was at a low in his life, and he needed to find a new way of life, or he would end up dead. being a recovering addict, I guess when you hear songs like this, it kind of reminds you of yourself.
