Author/Artist: Incubus
Title: Here in my room
I downloaded a video of this from an Incubus fan site and liked it, and then it was
on 'Live in Japan' cd as well, so I decided to translate the piano parts onto guitar.
1 is in open position and would be the left hand on the piano playing the deeper
notes, guitar 2 is with a capo on fret 12 (an octave up basically) and resembles
the right hand on. There's also the added parts of Brandon on guitar in the intro
and under the solo. Live Mike tends to play the solo with the guitar on his lap
and goes back to the keyboard after, however I have seen it played on the decks
by Kilmore, but I've tabbed it out anyway.
The order's a bit awkward so I'll try explain it.
First all 3 parts play the intro, then the two pieces showing the piano pattern
repeat, Brandon's guitar goes into the rhythm section below. The two piano pieces
then play again through the verse, and then the capo'd guitar plays the 'end of
verse' section, whilst the open guitar just repeats the intro section again.
After that it's quite simple, but just wanted to try and explain the first few lines.
Intro/Verse (Brandon guitar not played in verse, just piano pieces)

Lyrics (seeklyrics.com):
This party is old and uninviting
Participants in black and white
You enter in full-blown deck of color
Nothing is the same after tonight
If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here
Love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
Your love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim on winter
I'm wary of eyes upon the skies
If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here
Love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
Your love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
Tractor beam into your incision
Spinning as free ? vicious world
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
Kind of girl (10x)

| to me this is definately about sex, but more out of lust, like he's genuinaly happy for the sex but at the same time in a sense its a one time thing, in which he really needs something else | |

| This song is amazing. I think it's firstly about sex but on another level about the very very deep love between the man (boyd?) and the technicolour woman. Its such a satisfying song and pleasing to know that even incredible ppl like brandon boyd are self-conscious (i'm weary of eyes upon my scars). If you haven't seen this song performed live, you must do everything you possibly can in order to do so! I live in Malaysia and theyve only ever been here once so you probably have more chances than me, its is just fantastic, mike on piano and brandon playing guitar, your heart will melt! | |

| Well, other than the "Your love is verb..." and the entire last verse, there's not a whole lot to say it isn't about sex. Something else to note, in the second verse he says "Now show me the world as seen from the stars," something that could be a reference to "Stellar" which also has lots of sexual overtones. And please, don't say that Incubus wouldn't be "that 'flat.'" Boyd wrote a song about sex using the most flowery language imaginable, but that doesn't change the fact that it's about sex. Oh, something else nobody's commented on: The references to "The Wizard of Oz." The black and white and technicolor and the reference to a "fiction-worthy wind" (tornado). Anyone have any thoughts on this? | |
