ДЄfter the second chorus, a 16-measure guitar solo is played by Frusciante, along with a modulation to A major. It is notable for its sparse combination of guitar and bass notes in the main riff Frusciante drew inspiration from ' Carnage Visors' by The Cure. For the pre-chorus Frusciante then strums a combination of Am and Fmaj7 chords for twelve measures, until the chorus when he strums the chords C-Gmaj7-Dm9-Am, then C-G-Dm9. The song begins in the key of A minor with Frusciante picking the chords of Am and F for twelve measures, before picking the chords of C-G-F-Dm then going back and picking Am and F for 8 more measures before picking C-G-F-Dm again. The phrase 'First-born Unicorn' refers to Dorothy Stratten, whose life was covered in the book The Killing of the Unicorn. Other cultural references include the Beach Boys ('They're just another Good Vibration'), Star Wars ('and Alderaan's not far away') and Star Trek ('Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement'). The 'spheres' are a reference to Music of the Spheres, an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies as a form of music ('Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station to Station?'). The track also makes references to topics such as pornography ('hardcore soft porn') and plastic surgery ('pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging') and even some pop culture references including Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain and David Bowie. The song begins 'Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation.' Kiedis says in his book Scar Tissue that he took the inspiration for the line from hearing a woman on a New Zealand street ranting about 'psychic spies in China'.

Kiedis had written the lyrics, which he felt were some of the best he had written, but the band could not decide how the song should sound musically.ДЄs they struggled with the song it seemed like they would not be able to finish it in time to include it on the album, until one day Frusciante walked into the studio and exclaimed that he had 'figured it out'. In Kiedis's book, Scar Tissue, the author reveals that the band had enormous difficulty in putting the song together.
