"Otherside" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in 2000. It was the third single from the album Californication, and confronts the battles ex-junkies have with their prior addictions. It was the band's fourth #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The video was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris in a black-and-white/monochrome Gothic style similar to Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, all influenced by German Expressionist art. Elements of Cubism and work by the graphic artist M.C. Escher are also seen in the video. A cartoonish story line is juxtaposed upon the song; that of a young man's dream sequence. The band members appear dressed in black in unusual locations, with props intented to appear as surreal instruments. Throughout the video Anthony Kiedis with his short, platinum hair is seen in a castle tower. His stage persona is different and quite dark when compared to his more energetic perform
