Red Hot Chili Peppers: Parallel Universe Meaning

Parallel Universe Lyrics

Deep inside of a parallel universe
It’s getting harder and harder
To tell what came first

Under water where thoughts can breathe Easily

Far away you were made in a sea
Just like me

Chorus
Christ I’m a sidewinder I’m a
California King
I swear...

   I think they all wrote the song, to me it seems like they're just toying with the ideas of what a parallel universe is.
   
   And each verse is like a snip it of ideas. Which you could interpret however you like. Say I paint a picture and you find your own one thousand words
   
   I over read someone saying that a sidewinder and a California king is two different snakes....I was sure it was just because it's a hook that sounds good, which is also true. But then thought they might be talking about two snakes like two different parallels, both are off the same kind but different. Because he says he's a sidewinder and a California king
   
   My quick interpretation of the verses
   
   1 =

   This song is about immortality and references some primaeval symbolism of same (snakes shedding skin etc) with more modern (meta)phsyics re paralell universes and evolution in general.

   this song is about the reptiles that rule this earth....
   V1... we come from a parallel universe, where we lived under the water....we have been here so long we forget what home is like.....
   
   chorus.... christ i'm a giant snake(reptile)
   
   its everywhere, its everything...they have control...
   
   v2..look up, try find home
   you see yourself now instead...microcosm>>>>>>>>1.A community, place, or situation regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristic features of something much larger.
   .....Humankind regarded as the epitome of the universe.
   ...you can die, but your consciousness will be released bk into the collective mind and you will finally be free...or maybe death is the only portal back to the parallel universe we came from?
   
   final verse...use your heart to find your mind..realize who/what runs this planet...WAKE UP!!!!!!! the end of days is here listen for the trumpets!!
