Lyrics
Coming out to the light of day
We got many moons that are deep at play
So I keep an eye on the shadow's smile
To see what it has to say
You and I both know
Everything must go away
Ah, what do you say?
Spinning knot that is on my heart
It's like a bit of light and a touch of dark
You got sneak attacked from the zodiac
But I see your fire spark
Eat the breeze and go
Blow by blow and go away
Oh, what do you say?
Yeah, you don't know my mind
You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design and
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Stumble down to the parking lot
You got no time for the afterthought
They're like ice cream for an astronaut
Well that's me looking for we
Turn the corner and
Find the world at your command
Playing the hand
Yeah, you don't know my mind
You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Do you want this love of mine?
The darkness helps all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Do you want it all the time?
The darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Pick you up like a paperback
With the track record of a maniac
So I move it in and we unpack
It's the same as yesterday
Any way we roll
Everything must go away
Ah, what do you say?
Yeah, you don't know my mind
You don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah

Q&A: "Dark Necessities"
|
Hey all! To kick off the new Q&A initiative, I went crazy on Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Dark Necessities.” There were no questions on the song before I started, so I added a ton of questions and answered them myself! Did you know that astronauts never actually had Astronaut Ice Cream?
https://genius.com/Red-hot-chili-peppers-dark-necessities-lyrics
I tried to get some staple questions out there and then focus in on some more specific ones that can connect to annotations—this is a great opportunity for directing people to annotations who wouldn’t otherwise click on them.
Can anyone make some music connections to answer this question: “What other songs does ‘Dark Necessities’ sound like?”
Did I slack on any questions? What other questions should be added? Which of these questions are the most important, and which ones suck? Share your thoughts below, and add your own questions!
