Red Hot Chili Peppers - dark necessities

이 곡은 삶의 복잡성과 감정의 어두운 면을 탐구하며, 세상과의 단절을 느끼는 화자의 심경을 잘 드러낸다
특히, 개인의 내면에 자리잡은 어두운 필요들이 자신의 정체성의 중요한 요소임을 이야기하며, 이러한 복잡함을 타인과 나누고 싶어 하는 마음을 표현한다
결국 세상에 떨어지는 것 같은 불안과 그에 대한 수용을 노래한다

Comin' on to the light of day, we got
Many moons that are deep at play so I
Keep an eye on the shadow smile to see what it has to say
You and I both know, everything must go away
Ah, what do you say?
Spinnin' knot that is on my heart is like a
Bit of light in a touch of dark, you got
Sneak attack 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
Playin' 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
