"Flea says the song is a "yearning for a place beyond, a place of love, for me to speak my mind and be myself. I'm always just trying to be myself. I don't care about the act of politics. I think there is a much more transcendent place above it where there's discourse to be had that can actually help humanity, and actually help us all to live harmoniously and productively in a way that's healthy for the world. There's a place where we meet, and it's love.""
