What is interesting is that it isn't the kind oyu get from dirty needles or sex, it's the kind you get from bad seafood, so my guess is that he maybe got it in Indonesia or Australia.
I believe the song is about music being a part of social evolution and the evolution of himself as a human being.
Can't stop addicted to the shin dig
he can't stop making music because it's what he does best.
Choose not a life of imitation
He discovered music shortly after he broke away from his father, who was an actor in Hollywod. In Scar Tissue, he talks about being the perfect replecation of his father from the age of twelve until he was about sixteen and moved out.
Distant cousin to the reservation
Refering to himself as the subject of part of the song, he has distant Indian heiritage.
Knock out but boy you better come to
Don't die you know the truth is some do
The Chilis had died in the mid nineties between when John left and came back. eventually they came to and didn't die as a band or as a group of friends.
The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to
The chorus refers to everyone being part of life. I don't believe that the song is about life not being able to be stopped, but the wave of existence itself.
As for writing your message on the pavement, he's saying that everyone has something to say, so you should say it, that makes the workd a more honest place.
Not every line has to mean something special. As a writer, some of the things I put onto paper are just things that sound good with the idea that I'm trying to convey. Maybe Anthony is doing the same.
I don't think anyone but Mr. Kiedis will ever know the true meaning of this or any Chili Peppers song unless he chooses to relay it, just like any piece of art created. Why don't we all just enjoy it for what it is instead of beating it to death with a hose? These interpretations of mine are just things that come into my head from what I've read on this thread and what I know about AK, but I'm not really sure I want to know what he's saying completely, I like just hearing it flow.
