Well, it's pretty easy to say. It's about AK best friend Hillel Slovak.
1st verse:
describs the moments before Hillel's death. Hillel's brother - James, said that right before to take the lethal dose, Hillel called him. So maybe, Hillel also tried to call Anthony,but that time Anthony was high somewhere on the streets, hotels, etc. So Anthony couldn't answer. And when Kiedis stopped using drugs and came home, his girlfriend was crying and yelling at him, about Hillel's death. Also, AK regrets that he couldn't save him.
"Everything they said about everything
Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah"
-I guess, it's about how other people reacted to Hillel death, cuz parents and friends of Hillel thoughts that AK was the reason why Hillel started using drugs. And AK told, that it's just a life, and Hillel started the game with drugs by his own decision and failed.
"The next dimension show me in " — imho, it's affect of high.
"We were moving in the world, expanding your realities" — It means that they travel around and literally expanding realities by their music or drugs.
"A force of nature on the verge, commanding abnormalities" — this line about getting high, force of nature=drugs, on the verge=on the needle.
"Last thing I remember there was ringing in my selfish ears
Twenty-six a number much too small for someone's golden years" — pretty clear line, and 26-age when Hillel died.
That's what I see in this song, so if I realize something new, i will add.
