Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Universally Speaking. By Songfacts®.

This song is probably about heroin use. The lines, "Cut up from the chase," "Nothing better, the feeling is so fine," "Delicate and wild," "Dying to get high" and "love stream flow" all support this interpretation, as well as the abundance of RHCP songs about heroin use.

The music video features the cab driver from "By The Way" (played by Doug Wilson), going through a long way and reaching a Chili Peppers show, just to give Anthony Kiedis a magazine he forgot in his cab after Kiedis escaped. The magazine can be seen at the very beginning of the "By The Way" music video and at the very end of this video.
