Red Hot Chili Peppers - this is the place

가사는 현대 사회의 냉혹함과 저항, 그리고 유혹의 힘에 대한 복잡한 감정을 표현한다
화자는 자신의 정체성을 찾고 싶어하지만, 과거의 그림자와 유혹이 그 길을 방해하고 있음을 느낀다
결국, 이 모든 갈등 속에서 진정한 소명을 찾으려는 노력을 각인시킨다

This is the place where all the junkies go
Where time gets fast but everything gets slow
Can I get some Vaseline? Step into a modern scene
Take a chance on that which seems to be the making of a dream
I don't wanna do it like my daddy did
I don't wanna give it to my baby's kid
"This is my calling", I said, darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said, darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
This is the place where all the devils plead
Their case to take from you what they need
Can I isolate your gene? Can I kiss your dopamine?
In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine
I don't wanna say it if it isn't so
I don't wanna weigh it, but I've gotta know
"This is my calling", I said, darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
"Hammers are falling", I said, darling
Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you
