Incubus Lyrics

    ------ About the song Drive performed by Incubus

The song is about locus of control - an external locus means that we perceive the things that happen to us as beyond our control, a function of circumstance. An internal locus of control implies that we are masters of our own fate. The song is really about taking ownership of our own lives and cultivating an internal locus of control. You are responsible - not the booze, not circumstances, not anyone else, no matter what, be "present" in your own life.

    ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus

I can't compare to the amazing stories of soldiers away from their families, and whatever it is between the 16 yr olds or people who knew someone for 2 weeks that's your thing. Aside from any of that my bf and I have been together on and off for 3 years. Every word in this song is how we are and when I moved to go back to school we broke up. Two weeks later he called me realizing I was the one. Its a hard road but it's doable and this song doesn't make my cry, it just reassures me that we aren't the only ones who have felt this way. Good luck to anyone who has to work through a relationship where this song has that much meaning, where it's reciprocated and maybe for the time being you can't be right next to the person you love and who loves you.

    ------ About the song Drive performed by Incubus

This whole song is about fearing change then learning to embrace and accept it.

Read the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" - Spencer Johnson, M.D. and you will find the same message there that can be applied to life and work.

    ------ About the song Wish you were here performed by Incubus

This song has been many things to me, a breakup song, a song to grieve with, and the list goes on and on. When I was with my ex we loved to listen to Incubus. When I went on vacation with my family I would think of her and I would wish she were by my side. Whenever she broke off the relationship I would listen to this, and " I Miss You" on repeat. As of right now, I really wish this girl I think I may love were here with me. When my mom passed away a few years ago, I listened to this song nearly everyday for a few months straight. This song really means a lot me in many ways. Incubus really is a great group, and I really hope they know just how much their fans appreciate their music.

    ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus

The day you talked to me and told me you loved System of a Down was the day I realized I was the weirdest. The day you told what a "douchebag" really was, I never laughed so hard. And the say you told me you thought I was the opposite of ugly made me realize: I'm not hopeless. Because I had you. And then the sister came in. And I knew you'd eventually notice I couldn't be yours. Us stopping those hour long conversations were the death of me. I miss our friendship. And the way you smelled like smoke and candy. And the way you smiled. And how long that hair was. I miss the real you.

"I know I'll see you again, whether far or soon. But I need you to know that I care, and I miss you."

    ------ About the song Aqueous Transmission performed by Incubus

I always loved this song, but now placed in the situation I'm in, I've found a new meaning for it.To me, its about 2 lovers that love each other so much, but they must part, or go on break or something of that sort. And he's saying that without his lover, his emotions are hurting and he doesn't know how much he can take ; "Will I make it back to shore or will I drift into the unknown?" But then he's saying , maybe they can meet again and things will be great and they can share their experiences that they had away from each other.

    ------ About the song Anna Molly performed by Incubus

I agree with you Sam, this song is great and so is the band. I wouldn't change any of their albums or their sounds, because they have proved they can play very mature and complex music and I love them. I prefer to think of Anna Molly as the imaginary girl He cannot get over. Love this song and the band!!! :)

    ------ About the song Nice To Know You performed by Incubus

Brandon was having mental troubles for awhile, relationships etc. and then on tour he fell asleep on his hand and when his hand started to "wake up" he had epiphanies about his relationships and problems. So he was waking up as his hand was waking up. I dont think he ever had a drug addiction

    ------ About the song Pardon Me performed by Incubus

These lyrics I think point to something deeper, intended or not. It's about contemplative prayer-- described as the deep consuming fire of Gods love experienced by those pursuing Him in the quietude of the interior. This union is a fire, the fire, that sets first the individual, next the world, ablaze with the undying and transforming Spirit of God. The world, marked by its 'people's mindless games', is "a vampire" (as the Smashing Pumpkins put it)-- for which the only answer is a life totally fulfilled and radically transformed by the gift of self to Jesus' Gospel and the 'combustication' of the fire within! As another writer put it, "why not be totally changed into fire!" ... What a great song...

This song alludes to the monk who set himself on fire to prove a point as well as this song is proving a point. It relates to burning himself as a form of suicide to escape the ridiculous aspects of human life
