Incubus has remained an ever-changing and developing band throughout their history, evolving their sound and lyrical content through each of their four full-length albums, various EPs, soundtrack work and home DVDs. It is this kinetic approach that has allowed them to survive throughout their 12-year career. 2003 has been an eventful year for the band and brought about several changes, including the replacement of founding member Dirk Lance with bass player Ben Kenney, former guitarist of the funk, hip-hop group The Roots. After taking a much-needed break following more than two years of promoting Morning View, Incubus has been writing new material for their much-anticipated follow-up album. They plan to debut new songs for audiences across the country this summer when they More... (Submit New Incubus Lyrics) (Submit New Incubus Lyrics) Review about Incubus Religious song? I think so...please read | Reviewer: John P - Cincinnati ------ About the song Drive performed by Incubus My take on this amazing song is that it is indeed about religion and God, but certainly not about believing in it. Let me break it down a bit. Christianity is a fear based religion. Brandon sings, "And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer..." Christianity is also a faith based religion where you submit your will to a master plan, ie: everything is just part of the "plan" and any choices made on your own free will and against God's plan come with heavy guilt. Brandon sings, "Will I choose water over wine, and hold my own and drive?" This is clearly a statement of free will, and the choosing of water over wine I feel is a symbolic reference to the story of Jesus turning water into wine. Only in this case, he chooses water instead, going against the choice made by everyone else submitting to God. The lines "It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal. But lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel," and "It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around. But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found" are both further statements of going against the masses to make your own choices. In short, this song, like many other Incubus songs, is about non-conformity. But many things in this song could easily point at organized religion in particular...and the water vs. wine reference to me is icing on the cake inferring that this song is indeed talking about the rejection of religion. Hail atheism! This song is absolutely incredible and carries a powerful message. I miss you | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus The first time I heard this song was several years ago and though I knew the words, I did not completely understand them. My boyfriend has been gone for almost two weeks and I am realizing how much he taught me about love. I have never been so excited to see someone in the morning in my life and every night I have to imagine that he is asleep next to me so I can fall asleep Hearing my husband thru their words | Reviewer: Christina ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus My husband is in the military and is deployed at this moment. He tells me all the time that he loves me, but can't ever express himself more than that when it comes to his feelings for me. He has this song on his myspace profile and informed me that this song is how he feels. Whenever I need to hear from him but I can't, I listen to this song, ans its as if he is speaking to me. Their words are worth millions to me. Somewhere | Reviewer: Arek ------ About the song Drive performed by Incubus The first time heard this song, it was a piece of it, and I didn't pay attention to the lyrics. But the music seemed so special ... I keep on searching who played it, and from now on I love it more and more. Nicole | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nice To Know You performed by Incubus To me the song is about being in a situation that has made you dead. And you woke up and realied what was going on "Like a waking limb... in pins and needles". You realized the people who put you in this situation and are keeping you in it, and so finally you say enough is enough because you realize at the end of the day they have no real control over you. "She who sees from 'up high' smiles and surely sings. Perspective pries her once weighty eyes and it Gives you wings...Good-bye x4 Nice to Know You, To know... You" missing someone in the military | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus This is the sadest song and brings tears to my eyes, my husband is a soldier serving our country and live countless months apart. sometimes the only thing i have is the smell of him on my pillow. i miss him more than anything. being married to the military is a hard life to live. when we are apart we play this song for eachother... i miss her | Reviewer: shady ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus ive loved this song since it first came out, but not until a year ago did it truly touch me. i had been with my fiance for 3 years and it ended a year ago. i didnt realize until a few months after we broke up, how much i love her and miss her. i messed up and kick myself every day for it, and want her back more than anything in the world. she was my lover, my support, and my best friend, and am lost without her. she is that perfect girl for me, my dream girl. this song says exactly how i feel about her now. every line in this song means something special to me. i cant pick one line over another that touches me more, the entire song touches me. im a guy, and this song gets me teared up when i hear it. this girl means the world to me, and it would be a utopian dream if i knew she felt the same way as i do. i miss her. heart in hand | Reviewer: tinkerbell ------ About the song Echo performed by Incubus I loved this song since the day the album came out. Incubus is my favorite band. Funny thing cause just when u think u can't possibly see anything interesting, along comes something that shows you more than ever. The beautiful green eyes, that look you see in them, reminds me that i'm alive and inded she is so worth the fight. Could you show me dear...something i've not seen? yes love you can...and it definately is something infinately interesting. This song has a lot of meaning for two special people. Can you show me dear? Yes, yes baby i can. Awesome song | Reviewer: doubled ------ About the song Aqueous Transmission performed by Incubus This is a great song, Incubus are amazing, and for those of you fighting about the instrument used, it's a koto, but for any guitarists out there who want to imitate it, a nice trick is playing right at the bridge on an acoustic, gives the same effect as long as you have strong fingers =). last minute | Reviewer: ( }:(|) ------ About the song Certain Shade of Green performed by Incubus everyone will interpret somthing different depending on how it relates to them, so i don't believe there is a right or wrong even if he did have an intended point. This song really realates to me and im sure many others who have left things to the last minute because for no other reason than procrastination. I am a painter and i always have an idea, but for no reason at all find it hard to get started, as if i'm waiting for some 'certain shade of green' to get inspired to start working. And if i'm doing a commissioned painting for someone i'l leave it to the very last minute where i start to feel the pressure, hence the '2012 A.D.' which is in a way a metaphor for the end. There is also much more underlying themes i have found in this song reflecting society and the way it's raised us in 'limitation'. But in the end i believe the song raises questions about are choices that we make and when decide to act upon them before it's all over. }:Þ most relaxing song ever | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Aqueous Transmission performed by Incubus this song is the perfect song to listen to if you just wanna close your eyes and relax and someone said that the instrument was indian and not chinese well theyre wrong because my sister had to do an oral report on ancient china so she had this song playing in the backround It hurts | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus Me and this girl liked each other, i still like her im not sure if she feels the same about me. Anyways we hung out for awhile, but we never dated because her best friend wouldn't let us, i wanted to anyway but she wouldn't hurt a friend like that. Plus her parents dont want us dating, plus she doesnt like my smoking, which i found out after and made sure she knew i would have quit for her, because i would do anything for her. But now she is dating someone else and it hurts so much. I have to see them together everyday. I want to tell her how i feel but i dont know how. Im thinking about showing her this song one day and telling her that this explains how i feel about her perfectly. A Different View | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dig performed by Incubus This song reminds me of a friend. He's a great guy if you can get past his walls. His defense mechanism is being an arrogant jerk. This song reminds me of him because he respects me for being able to call him out on his bullshit a lot. He's been hurt, so has many things that dig at him. "So when weakness turns my ego up I know you'll count on the me from yesterday If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me" I always know when he's playing Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, and those lyrics are exactly what its like. I miss you | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus My boyfriend and I have been together for nine months, and this song brings tears to my eyes. It's so hard for me and him to see eachother with school and everything else in life. When I listen to this and the last lyrics "but I need you to know that I care, and i miss you." I start crying so hard because the stress of never seeing eachother takes such a toll on our relationship, but I love him so much. He is the light of my life and I am absolutley completley madly in love with him and I miss him more than anything. this song hits hard | Reviewer: kelli ------ About the song Drive performed by Incubus Today I was trying to find the words to talk to my 15 year old about the new chapter he is starting in his life. This song came on the radio, I have heard it a million but today I listened! I started crying because the words are so powerful and what he needed to hear, he needs to drive...he needs to take the wheel to his own destiny and let the rest of the crap go. There are so many downers for our youth these days, and because of lack of role models and a voice of their own, the have a hard time adjusting to life. This songs helps! The words speak for them selves...starting listening to the words, not just the melody...thanks Incubus! clean | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Clean performed by Incubus I really don't find that this has a September 11 feel to it. I think that it's just about not understanding each other in relationships. She doesn't express her feelings and he's just trying to figure her out. The Warmth and Meaning | Reviewer: B Boyed ------ About the song The Warmth performed by Incubus All the readings of this song fail to appreciate the humor of the text. Hearing the near-reggae bass and drum work for the stanzas and the out-of-this-world sound effects of the Dj and guitarist, the listener immediately thinks the song is seriously about human misery -- and it is but it is the human misery borne out of peeing oneself. In this song, the vocalist addresses a young man, laughed at as his pants darken in public, a person who pees himself constantly and is embarrassed by it. The song's text is saying just enjoy that warmth (the warmth of urine as it streams down the leg) while he can, before he grows old, senile, peeing himself and not even realizing it. Proposing??? | Reviewer: Kevin ------ About the song Drive performed by Incubus I love the song and so dose my girlfriend, just wanted to leave a question to you fans? I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend she loves the band and this song so i decided whenever i give the ring to play and sing this song to her. What do you guys think, i like the fact how it mentions "whatever tomorrow brings ill be there" meaning that i will always be there for her so exactly why i feel this would be perfect song. Please give me input on this? Thank You Can't listen to this anymore | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Incubus Boyfriend and I broke up about 3 months ago now, we were dating for about 2 years practically living together, and all this, and I can't sleep unless I pretend my pillow is him & his heart beating next to mine. Even after 3 months, I care for him so much. Probably even more now that we're apart. I miss him daily. The worst part is, we're still friends. And I see him around 3 times a week at mutual friends houses or hangouts. And there's times I think he misses me too, and I see that he still cares in his eyes. but then I think it might just be wishful thinking. He said there's still a chance for us, but he doesn't want to give me false hope, because he doesn't know what will happen. But I know that this is one of the hardest things I'll go through, pretending to get over him while still loving him secretly, no matter what happens between us. the song's meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nice To Know You performed by Incubus It's not about drug addiction OR his arm falling asleep. The "pins and needles" reference is a metaphor for his painful realization about the girl he was involved with at the time, and the direction the relationship was going in, which was nowhere. He was on a plane and his arm fell asleep because he was leaning on it. When he got the pins and needles sensation on his arm days later, he was also realizing that he was ready to call it quits with his girlfriend. He has talked about all this in interviews. The lyrics are brilliant ways of describing coming to realizations, finally, and how a sense of perspective can really make such a big difference to finally understanding the way things really are. "To obtain a bird's eye (view) is to turn a blizzard to a breeze." What a great line! It's so insightful. Taking that big step back in order to gain perspective changes shit that seems so huge and overwhelming into something so much more insignificant in the larger picture. We all need to be able to "see the wood for the trees." Perspective is deep and truth is pretty profound when we finally see things for what they are and can act on the realization.
