No Picture JJ Average	#12 by JJ at Nov 16, 2006 at 2:25 AM EST
	Very good song, this whole album is just amazing. Great music to go along with the lyrics. This song is definately about his relationships, but i dunno if it is a recent one. It makes me feel like its about a lot of his relationships, he is struggling to want to stay with the girls he dates and he ends up cutting them off.

No Picture guitar girl Rhythm Player	#14 by guitar girl 13 at Jan 26, 2007 at 11:42 PM EST
	he needs help or love from someone. he wants to see something in someone that he never saw. he used to be so confident about the fact that he could always get a girl but he realizes that he's just alone. he knows he doesn't even care about this girl because she changed. he no longer loves her. he wants to see what she would do if he changed- which he knows he must. or maybe he's just saying now that he's gonna change so he can be committed and stay with this girl and proove himself.

	HappyChillmore: He's not all bad I also downloaded it and "deciphered" the lyrics to this song among others. I'm going to buy the limited Edition when it comes out on the 9th though!

No Picture Doolittle Lead Player	#17 by Doolittle at Mar 1, 2007 at 5:24 PM EST
	Actually the song is called "Snow (Hey Oh)", not "Hey".

No Picture sebastian Wanna Be	#18 by sebastian Shamburg at Apr 5, 2007 at 3:53 PM EST
	i think its about getting clean (snow is white, white is clean) and "Come to decide that the things that I tried Were in my life just to get high on" great song. so far i think its my favourite off SA. but ive only listened to the first album so far. and beatles4ever, i love your name. beatles are the best!

No Picture Abe Lead Player	#19 by Abe Watson at Apr 5, 2007 at 10:26 PM EST
	a complex meaning for a brilliant song... i don't think it's about drugs exclusively... i agree with rocky880211

No Picture Christina Average	#20 by Christina Anderson at Apr 26, 2007 at 2:42 AM EST
	Personally, Snow (Hey Oh) is a metaphorical juxtaposition of idealism and reality. Many people (especially the RHCP) have had their shares of hard times, but eventually all misfortunes of the past get "covered with "snow." Ultimately, people create "realities" or "wonders" (in the words of Kiedis) that mask the true substantive nature of their situation. The song in its entirety is analgous to the postulate: "everyone views themselves (or their situation) in the light that flatters them most." Thus, the obscurest landscapes and the most jagged of edges are unified and beautified when covered with "snow." Metaphorically, "snow" is essentially the medium by which true reality is masked. "The more I see the less I know The more I like to let it go…hey oh" Additionally, the above lines serve to further the point that "snow" is the differential factor that obscures reality and idealism. As more "snow" accumulates, the less we know about the nature of what's beneath the "snow". Likewise, "The more I like to let it go", serves to illustrate the appeal of "snow," in that "snow" catalyzes dissociation with reality and initiates desire to associate more with the "ideal reality" than the "subtantive reality." And yes, although not explicitly about drugs, this song could be used to refer to them, along with any other "skeletons in one's closet" that are dusted with "snow."

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#21 by Dark Avenger at May 4, 2007 at 3:06 AM EST
	@ beefcake: wow thank you for reminding me to take out the garbage. on top of that you also displayed your mental incapacity by commenting. stadium arcadium -believe it or not- came out on the 5th in some european countries including (where i live) germany. sorry to burst your bubble, but the worlds bigger than your hometown. so please, next time you flame, get the facts right. @ rocky88: while i do agree with the content of your comment, what you have done is tear this songs soul out and slap an analytical barcode on it, "metaphorically speaking". no song needs to be taken apart like this man, just enjoy.

No Picture kostas Rhythm Player	#22 by kostas kouveliotis at Jun 26, 2007 at 11:27 AM EST
	I think this song is about drug addiction. It's also obviously about a girl, the fairy he refers to, but this relationship is mixed up with drugs. It says take away the tourniquet so AK is saying that he needs to see his girl when she's not on heroin so he can see something 'that i never knew in your eyes'. Also maybe to start their relationship was good but now they are both on drugs its not, I'm sure Scar Tissue talks of one of AK's relationships that is like that but I can't recall the girl's name Also another random point but in an interview AK said he didn't think young people particularly liked this song as they don't get it, but I love it! It's very powerful and I think one of the best on SA

No Picture Dudey Average	#23 by Dudey at Jul 21, 2007 at 8:50 PM EST
	Amazing song, all of Stadium Arcadium is too, my favourite album from the Peppers ever. I'm gonna decipher some lyrics from the other songs off of it tonight, maybe get a few up. Not really sure what this song is about, maybe looking deep inside yourself to change parts of oneself? I am probably totally off lol.

No Picture LJ Average	#24 by LJ at Sep 9, 2007 at 4:04 PM EST
	I agree with sam... what an amazing guitar solo... it's deep man. I think the frustration of the lyrics and the melancholy nature of the song really come out in the solo. John repeats a lot of the same chords and then releases into some nasty ripping. Its so sick. I'd have to say its on par, if not better than the solo he did on "I Could Have Lied"

No Picture jordan Wanna Be	#25 by jordan at Oct 19, 2007 at 9:40 AM EST
	This is such an amazing song. The tone is just perfect, and the mood isn't too minor and sad but it still is, you know? And the funny thing is that the bridge starts out with E#m but it still sounds kind of uplifting.
