"Snow (Hey Oh)" lyrics

"Snow (Hey Oh)"

Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey, oh
Listen what I say, oh
I got your hey, oh
Now listen what I say, oh
(Oh)

When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me, when will I really see
All that I need to look inside?
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me, what do I really need
All that I need to look inside?

Hey, oh
Listen what I say, oh
Come back and hey, oh
Look at what I say, oh
(Oh)

The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa-whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go
Ho!

When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey, oh
Listen what I say, oh
I got your hey, oh
Listen what I say, oh

The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa-whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go

I said hey, hey yeah (Ooh)
Oh yeah, tell my love now (Ooh)
Hey, hey yeah (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh yeah, tell my love now

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go

I said hey, oh yeah (Ooh)
Oh yeah, tell my love now (Ooh)
Hey, hey yeah, oh yeah (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

This song stayed at the top of the Billboard Modern Rock Chart for the longest time in the history of that chart.
The lead singer said that this track is about "surviving, starting fresh". He explained further, "I've made a mess of everything, but I have a blank slate—a canvas of snow—and I get to start over."
The "Privately divided by a world so undecided" line supposedly means what Anthony Kiedis explained, "I had this duality of trying to kill myself with drugs, then eating really good food and exercising and going swimming and trying to be a part of life. I was always going back and forth on some level."
Before being released as a single, this song climbed to number 53 in the UK iTunes top 100 on the 13th of May 2007.
This single was the band's only top-10 song in Germany, where it reached number 5, making it their most successful song there.
