About

This is the eighth song of the album and it seems to be directed to Hillel, ex-guitarist of the Peppers, that died from drug overdose in 1988.

Anthony already composed other songs talking about his friend as “Knock Me Down,” “My Lovely Man” and “This Is The Place.”

Feasting on the Flowers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walking through the streets I could not hear my best friend call
He was feeling incomplete about to take his final fall
Last thing I remember there were tears of blood and just not mine
Any other day and I would save you from this cold decline

[Chorus]
Everything they said about everything
Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah yeah
Feasting on the flowers so fast and young
It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah yeah
The next dimension, show me in

[Verse 2]
We were moving in the world, expanding your realities
A force of nature on the verge, commanding abnormalities
Last thing I remember there was ringing in my selfish ears
Twenty-Six a number much too small for someone's golden years

[Chorus]
Everything they said about everything
Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah yeah
Feasting on the flowers so fast and young
It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah yeah
The next dimension, show me in

[Bridge]
You get a little bit more this time when
You give a little bit for your brother's kind
Like she always said, "Oh, don't look back, just look ahead"
You sing a little bit stronger when you
Remember the song of your old best friend
Like she always said, "Oh, don't look back, just look ahead"

[Chorus]
Everything they said about everything
Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah yeah
Feasting on the flowers so fast and young
It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah yeah
