My tendency for dependency Is offending me It's upending me I'm pretending see to be strong and free From my dependency It's warping me
Wow!
So much love so rare to dare Afraid of ever being there Take me home I need repair Take me please to anywhere
Descend all the way All the way
Wow!
Descended from demented men Struggle with the art of zen Please don't look to close at me You might not like what you see
She said all the way All the way Every day Warped and scared Of being there Of being there
Craving sends me crawling a whole Beg for mercy oh does it show A vacancy that's full of holes Hold me please I'm feeling cold
She said all the way All the way Every day Warped and scared Of being there Of being there
Traduction - Warped
Perverti
Ma tendance à la dépendance Me froisse, ça me renverse Je me prétends fort et libre De ma dépendance. Ca m'a perverti
Tant d'amour, si précieux pour oser Effrayé d'être ici Ramène moi à la maison, j'ai besoin de réparations Emmène-moi, s'il te plaît, n'importe où
Refrain : Descendre, tout le chemin
Descendant des hommes fous Lutte avec l'art du zen S'il vous plait ne me regardez pas de trop près Vous n'aimeriez pas ce que vous verrez
Refrain : Descend tout le chemin, tout le chemin Tous les jours Perverti et effrayé d'être ici D'être ici
La nuit mes désirs obsédants m'envoient ramper Je mendie la pitié oh Est-ce que cela démontre d'une vacuité d'esprit Serre moi s'il te plaît, j'ai froid

02. Aeroplane
Paroles - Aeroplane
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain That motherfuckers always spiked with pain
Looking in my own eyes, hello I can't find the love I want Someone better slap me Before I start to rust Before I start to decompose Looking in my rearview mirror Looking in my rearview mirror I can't make it disappear I can't make it disappear Have no fear
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain That motherfuckers always spiked with pain
Sitting in my kitchen, hey girl I'm turning into dust again My melancholy baby The star of mazzy must Push her voice inside of me I'm overcoming gravity I'm overcoming gravity It's easy when you're sad to be It's easy when you're sad Saddle up me
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
Just one note could make me float Could make me float away One note from the song she wrote Could fuck me where I lay Just one note could make me choke One note that's not a lie Just one note could cut my throat One note could make me die
I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane and music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Let's spike with pain
My aeroplane (x4)
It's my aeroplane (x9)
03. Deep Kick
Paroles - Deep Kick
It started when we were little kids Free spirits but already tormented by our own hands Given to us by our parents We got together and wrote on desks And slept in laundry rooms near snowy moutains And slipped through whatever cracks we could find Minds altered, we didn't falter In portraying hysterical and tragic characters In a smog-filled universe We loved the dirty city And the journeys away from it We had not yet been or seen our friends selves Chase tails round and round in downward spiral Leaving trail of irretrievable vital life juice behind Still the brothers-blood-comrades-partner-family cuzz was impenetrable And we lived inside it Laughing with no clothes And everything experimental 'till death was upon us In our face mortality and lots of things seemed futile then But love and music can save us and did While the giant grey monster grew more poisoned and volatile around us Jaws clamping down And spewing ugly shit around Nothing is the same so we keep moving We keep moving
Oh shit! Oh shit!
Went off and got some haircuts Looking wild and got all drugged up Hopped a train into the night Got a ride with a transvestite Two boys in San Francisco Two boys in San Francisco Blasted off in a BART bathroom Those coppers woke us up Motherfuckers woke us up
Two young brothers on a hovercraft Yeah! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Telepathics love and bellylaughs Ha ha ha ha!
Storm the stage of Universal Slim shine talk box so subversal Papa's proud and so he sent us Pounding hearts full and relentless Two boys in London, England Two boys in London, England Climbing out of hostel windows Wearing gear so out but in though Come on kid and do the no no
Two young brothers on a hovercraft Yeah! Telepathics love and bellylaughs Oh yeah!
Oh shit! Oh shit!
We went to Fairfax High School Jumped off buildings into their pools We'd sit down, grease at canters Run like hell cause they can catch us Two boys in L.A. proper Two boys in L.A. proper Stealin' anything that we could Gotta sneak into the Starwood Gotta peak into the deep good
I remember ten years ago in Hollywood We did some good And we did some real bad stuff But the Butthole Surfers say It's better to regret something you did Than something you didn't do Yeah we were young And we were looking, looking Looking for the deep kick Yeah, seen'em come, seen'em go
And I feel like getting close to you

J’ai commencé quand nous n’étions que des enfants Des esprits libres, mais tourmentés par nos propres questions Transmises par nos parents Nous nous sommes réunis et avons écris sur nos bureaux Et dormi dans des chambres blanches a coté des montagnes enneigées On est tombés dans ce cercle vicieux, on prenais tous ce qui nous passait devant Nos esprits en étaient au point mort, on a pas hésité Malgré nos portrait de personnages hysteriques et tragiques Dans un monde rempli de brouillard On l'aimait, notre petite ville degueulasse Et les voyages en dehors aussi Nos amis ne nous avaient pas encore vus On poursuivait nos contes de fées tournant et retournant dans cette spirale infernale On s'est noyés dans notre boisson qu'on croyait vitale On était toujours des freres de sang, des camarades de la même famille, des partenaires que rien ne pouvait séparer Et on a vécu avec cette tornade qui nous ravagait En riant, tout nus Et toutes les experiences possibles, on les a faites avant ta mort Dans nos tetes, la mortalité et tous ces autres trucs nous semblaient futiles Parce que la musique et l’amour pouvaient nous sauver et l’ont fait en partie Malgré tout le gros monstre gris grandit et devint de plus en plus toxique , vomissant de la merde encore et encore Nos machoires se contractaient Rien n’est plus pareil sans toi On doit changer On va changer
Oh merde Oh merde
Rentrés avec les cheveux coupés On regardait les collines aussi defoncés que d’habitude On esperait qu’un train allait passer dans la nuit On a eu un ride grace a un travesti Deux mecs a san fransisco Deux mecs a san fransisco Détruits hors d’une SALE salle de bain Ces flics nous ont reveillés Ces fils de putes nous ont reveillés On est comme deux jeunes frères, comme deux copilotes Des amours et des fous rires télépatiques Tempète dans les studios d'Universal Une boite de conversation mince et éclatante devient subjective Papa est fier et il nous y envoie Mon coeur retenti dans ma poitrine Deux mecs a Londres, Angleterre Deux mecs a Londres, Angleterre On est tombés d'une fenetre d'hotel Sur les mécanismes d'un port controlés par la pensée Viens par là petit gamin et fait le non non On est comme deux jeunes frères, deux copilotes Des amours et des fous rires télépatiques On est allés au lycée de Fairfax On sautait d'immeubles en immeuble dans les piscines On était assis par terre sur notre graisse On courait comme en enfer et ils ne pouvaient pas nous avoir Deux mecs a LA, approprié Deux mecs a LA, approprié On volait tout ce qu'on pouvait En se glissant dans le monde des stars Pour atteindre un niveau maximal, on doit se faire profondement bon Je me rapelle, il y a 10 ans A Hollywood, on a fait des trucs bien Et on a fait des trucs vraiment moches Mais les Butthole Surfers Nous ont répétés qu'il vallait mieux regretter Quelque chose que tu as fait Que regretter ce que tu pourra plus jamais faire On était jeunes, et on Avait pour but de faire un coup de pied bien profond Regarde nous venir, regarde nous partir
04. My Friends
Paroles - My Friends
My friends are so depressed I feel the question of your loneliness Confide, cause I'll be on your side You know I will you know I will
Ex girlfriend called me up Alone and desperate on the prison phone They want to give her seven years For being sad
I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself
My friends are so destressed And standing on the brink of emptiness No words, I know how to express This emptiness
I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself
Imagine me taught by tragedy Release is peace
I heard a little girl And what she said was something beautiful To give your love no matter what That's what she said
I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself

[Refrain] J'aime tout de toi Blessée par le froid Si difficile et seule aussi Quand tu ne te connais pas
Mes amis sont tant dans la détresse Et se tiennent au bord du vide Pas de mots... Je sais l'exprimer Ce vide

05. Coffee Shop
Paroles - Coffee Shop
I am just a lousy man Searching for the unknown crumb The crumb, the crumb Something or someone to come Come along illuminate my lust, combust Confucius might have been confused And Buddha might have blown a fuse I ooze the muse
Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hot spot
Back and forth my body's jerking Will to thrill will not stop working Work and work I'll take you on a honeymoon Jumping on a bed in a hotel room The room, the groom
Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hot spot
Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hot spot

Rendez-vous au café Nous pouvons danser comme Iggy Pop Un autre coup au parking Frottant sa jour sur ton membre chaud
En avant et en arrière mon corps se contracte Mon désir de frissoner ne s'arretera pas de fonctionner Fonctionne et fonctionne Je t'emmènerai en lune de miel Sautant sur le lit d'une chambre d'hôtel La chambre le marié

08. Walkabout
Paroles - Walkabout
I think I'll go on a walkabout To find out what it's all about Just me and my own two feet In the heat I've got myself to meet A detective of respective I Need to try to get a bigger eye Open wide Bloodwood flowers in my gaze Walkabout in a sunny daze Do me now
On a walkabout
You could do it in the city You could do it in a zone You could do it in a desert You could do the unknown On a walkabout
High desert skies are what I spy So fly, you've got to wonder why The stingrays must be fat this year I'm moving slow in my lowest gear The digirido original man with a dream I believe the Aborigine
On a walkabout
You could do it with a shuffle You could do it with a stroll You could do it with a stride You could do the unkown On a walkabout
A walk could cure most all my blues Bare feet, or in my two shoes One, two
I think I'll go on a walkabout To find out what it's all about Can't hurt to try Use your legs to rock it wide Take a ride to the otherside
09. Tearjerker
Paroles - Tearjerker
Could you turn up the track a little bit, please?
My mouth fell open Hoping that the truth would not be true Refuse the news
I'm feeling sick now What the fuck am I supposed to do Just loose and loose
First time I saw you You were sitting backstage in a dress A perfect mess
You never knew this But I wanted badly for you to Requite my love
Left on the floor Leaving your body When highs are the lows And lows are the ways So hard to stay Guess now you know I love you so
I liked your whiskers And I liked the dimple in your chin Your pale blue eyes
You painted pictures Cause the one who hurts can give so much You gave me such
Left on the floor Leaving your body When highs are the lows And lows are the ways So hard to stay Guess now you know I love you so

Tu peux monter le son un peu stp ?
Je suis resté bouche bée Espérant que la vérité Ne soit pas vraie Refusant la nouvelle
J’ai mal au cœur Putain qu’est-ce que je suis Supposé faire Juste perdre et perdre
La première fois que je t’ai vu Tu étais assis En coulisses dans une robe Un parfait bordel
Tu ne l’as jamais su Mais je voulais désespérément que tu M’aimes en retour
Laissé sur le sol Quittant ton corps Quand les hauts sont les bas Et que les bas sont une mauvaise habitude Tellement dur de rester J’imagine que maintenant tu sais Que je t’aime tant
J’aimais ton bouc Et j’aimais la Fossette sur ton menton Tes yeux bleus pale
Tu peignais Car celui Qui souffre Peut donner beaucoup Tu m’as tellement donné

One hot minute and I'm in it Come and get it One hot minute and I'm in it Come and get it One hot minute and I'm in it Come and get it If I chase it I might waste it Come and spin it Am I all alone? Am I all alone?
Sitting in the fire Get along and have some fun Floating to be higher Maybe I'm your special one Silent testifier Breathe the moon and eat the sun Sitting in the fire
Close you eyes and click your heels Can you believe how good it feels Am I all alone?
One hot minute and I'm in it Come and get it One hot minute and I'm in it Come and get it One hot minute and I'm in it Come and get it If I chase it I might waste it Come and spin it Am I all alone? Am I all alone?
Sitting in the fire Get along and have some fun Floating to be higher Maybe I'm your special one Silent testifier Breathe the moon and eat the sun Sitting in the fire
Say goodbye to where you buy you got it now Pay your father, pay your twenty, take a bow Say goodbye to where you bye you got it now Pay your momma, pay your father, take a bow Say goodbye to where you buy you got it now Pay your father, pay your father, take a bow Three pounds of love inside my skull A million more lives it's never dull Just a few times spun Spun around the sun A couple more or less And then we're done
Sitting in the fire Get along and have some fun Floating to be higher Maybe I'm your special one Silent testifier Breathe the moon and eat the sun Sitting in the fire

You can smell the purple light Comin' from her heart Get lost and wet I treat you like a teacher 'Cause that's what you are I wanna be your pet

Tomber dans la Grace
J'aurais jamais pu croire que je pouvais me sentir aussi bien Ce sourir dans tes yeux J'aurais jamais cru que je pouvais marcher à traver les bois Je crois bien que j'ai jamais essayé Agée d'un millions d'années Mais encore une petite fille Les vibrations du gong Les frottements des bols font que tu flottes tout autour font que ton amour est fort
Et quand on se retrouve au même endroit en même temps C'est dans ta grace que je voeux m'éffondrer pour déclarer mon amour
Je tombe dans la grace avec toi Je tombe dans le guru mukh Je tombe dans la grace avec toi Je tombe dans le guru mukh
Elle se déplace avec un tel ravissement Que sa capsule pourait aterrire sur ton étoile Méditant de bon matin la tête parée de blanc Une beauté bordélique
On peut sentir la lumière pourpre qui émane de son coeur Se retrouver perdu et trempé je te traite comme un professeur Je voudrais être ton animal de compagnie

Commentaire
4 ans s'écoulent entre Blood Sugar Sex Magik et One Hot Minute. En 1992, John Frusciante quitte les red Hot en pleine tournée japonaise. Après avoir épuisé bon nombre de remplaçants, c'est Dave Navarro, un ancien de Jane's Addiction, qui occupe le poste vacant. Rick Rubin reste quant à lui fidèle au poste de producteur, mais quelque chose va changer au niveau du son des Red Hot Chili Peppers. One Hot Minute est l'album le plus rock des Red Hot. Dave Navarro excelle dans les démonstrations pyrotechniques, ce qui donne à des titres comme Warped, Coffee Shop et One Big Mob un cachet furieusement métal. La formule Red Hot est cependant toujours présente, et on retrouve un certain équilibre entre power-ballads (My Friends, Tearjerker), funk syncopé (Aeroplane, Walkabout, Falling into Grace) et l'habituel moment d'incongruité présent dans chaque album (le monologue de Flea pendant le sublime Pea). Tout en regrettant la présence de titres un peu plus faiblards sur la seconde face, on tient peut-être là l'album le plus aventureux des red Hot Chili Peppers, si ce n'est le plus énergique.
