Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture TJ Average	#1 by TJ Smalley at Nov 9, 1972 at 7:13 AM EST
	during a very large fight with a friend, i got the incubus morning view cd, and i was already a bit fan of science and make yourself. i listened to this song, and didn't like it. then i listened to the lyrics, and i love it. i reckon this song is about a person who's been betrayed by someone, a friend/lover, and now both of them are simply acting politely to eachother despite how they feel. i have never heard anything as descriptive as "seeing you is like pulling teeth, and hearing your voice is like chewing tin fooooil". i mean, damn that's good writing, and it happened to pick exactly how i felt. i love this song. it's some good incubus, mainly with such brilliant lyrics.

No Picture Draven Average	#2 by Draven Gothe at Aug 13, 1974 at 1:44 PM EST
	i think it's got to be about brandon's deciding not to say something cause he's scared he will cause violence (and get beaten up). Champion group.

No Picture Alex Wanna Be	#3 by Alex Ovari at Apr 11, 1986 at 5:02 PM EST
	Punk in drublic says.. I agree... this song is probably one of my favourites because of the lyrics although I find Brandon's vocals and lryics don't fit in with the rythm of the song.. anyway.. I think this is about someone he hates soo much but has to be poliet to them for some unkown reason... etc. etc. etc.

No Picture Bill Wanna Be	#4 by Bill Rossi at Oct 8, 1988 at 4:08 AM EST
	I think this song is about him (or whoever) and and ex (who he still feels something for) that fight all the time, and he'd rather not, so when she around he just shuts up (the art of silent war) and bites his tongue (blood in his mouth), because he'd rather not have his eyes scratched out or anything (blood on the ground).

No Picture UknownSoldier Lead Player	#5 by UknownSoldier Nightmare at Oct 21, 1992 at 9:48 AM EST
	Boyd wrote terrific lyrics for this song and it used to remind me of someone I cared for and I got my heartbroken etc. but I still cared for him and started popping up in the most unimaginable circumstances! I kept thinking " get out of my life, get out of my life, you're no good for me..." That may not be deep but that's how i understand it, right down to the chewing tin foil.

No Picture Dan Wanna Be	#6 by Dan Z at Aug 11, 1995 at 1:48 AM EST
	the first time i heard this song was at a time in my life where i wasn't happy about a recent break-up, and everyone hated me for being 'childish' or whatever. i felt like no one understood me, until i heard this song and it described exactly how i felt. then i felt like there were cameras watching me and writing songs about my misfortune. i wasn't that much happier really, but hey, it's got a good beat.

No Picture One of the chil Average	#7 by One of the children of the KoRn at Sep 17, 1996 at 11:04 PM EST
	this is the ABSOLUTE perfect "hating someone song." it reminds me of ne person( doesn't matter who) that pisses me off and makes me mad.. its everything that u can't stand about the person and the way u feel when u'r around them.. just a perfect song 2 let out some pent up anger.. lol:)

No Picture CHAD Wanna Be	#8 by CHAD at Nov 25, 1996 at 3:19 PM EST
	mmm. good song. very very very good song. i LOVE their new album. and i LOVE their old albums. i don't like people dissing incubus just cause they've changed. they're still GREAT.

No Picture Dr. Average	#9 by Dr. Richard Benjamin Vannacutt at Apr 5, 2003 at 3:57 AM EST
	i agree wit MikeMT ...all of incubus' songs have the GREATEST lyrics ever ..it is kinda funny this is placed between 11am and mexico two very peaceful sad songs

No Picture Shayne Wanna Be	#10 by Shayne Marchand at May 8, 2005 at 1:24 AM EST
	I think this song is about an ex-girlfriends new guy, he does'nt want to say anything just incase he says something bad and so Blood would be on the ground!
