![]() ![]() The more snow there is, the less you remember or know about whats beneath it the more you are inclined to let it all go. snow covers up your past tracks you made in the ground. "The more I see the less I know the more I like to let it go" Investing in yourself, not focusing on the "well" so now YOU want to be listened to? "Hey oh listen what I say oh Come back and Hey oh look at what I say oh" Now its about knowing that you want to take this strength you wish to be able to derive from yourself, applying it, and not giving up before you get your own chance to live. the two lines above (about the well and seeing all you need to look inside) gives an impression of wanting to be self-sufficient. "come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride" Specifically, wanting to SEE something(s) that allows you to truly look inside of yourself. that feeling of wanting to have what it takes to be self-sufficient. "when it's killing me when will I really see all that I need to look inside" When do we realize it's no longer practical, useful, advantageous, or warranted given the unknown path we are really on and our unknown destination?Īgain, the "well" could mean anything that makes us feel better (whether it be drugs, the thought of another person which gives comfort, etc.) the "well" could represent something that gives us comfort but also hurts us or better yet, having justified access to that "well" that makes us feel better might be shaken by the changing dynamics in our lives. ![]() "when will I know that I really can't go to the well once more time to decide on" our paths in life are a journey we rely on so much to get us through this journey "step from the road to the sea to the sky and I do believe that we rely on" you truly learn when you're around other people not just yourself "when I sit alone come get a little known but I need more than myself this time" I believe this song is about a fresh start prying yourself away from things that comfort, but possibly isolate you. It doesn't have the same effect now that its spring and the snow has melted. I discovered this song on a cold winter day when there was no dirt you could see, just a thick blanket of snow covering the ground. Likewise, "The more I like to let it go", serves to illustrate the appeal of "snow," in that "snow" catalyzes dissociation with reality and initiates desire to associate more with the "ideal reality" than the "subtantive reality."Īnd yes, although not explicitly about drugs, this song could be used to refer to them, along with any other "skeletons in one's closet" that are dusted with "snow."Īnd yes, although not explicitly about drugs, this song could be used to refer to them, along with any other "skeletons in one's closet" that are dusted with "snow." Reason: As more "snow" accumulates, the less we know about the nature of what's beneath the "snow". The song in its entirety is analgous to the postulate: "everyone views themselves (or their situation) in the light that flatters them most." Thus, the obscurest landscapes and the most jagged of edges are unified and beautified when covered with "snow." Metaphorically, "snow" is essentially the medium by which true reality is masked.Īdditionally, the above lines serve to further the point that "snow" is the differential factor that obscures reality and idealism. Many people (especially the RHCP) have had their shares of hard times, but eventually all misfortunes of the past get "covered with "snow." Ultimately, people create "realities" or "wonders" (in the words of Kiedis) that mask the true substantive nature of their situation. Personally, Snow (Hey Oh) is a metaphorical juxtaposition of idealism and reality. Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed In between the cover of another perfect wonder Privately divided by a world so undecided When it's killing me, what do I really needĭeep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder When it's killing me, when will I really see When I sit alone, come get a little known Come to decide that the things that I tried
