It appears that Mike has been practicing a bit since Morning View and has honed
his sweep picking skills to the next level. Check out the bridge and you'll see
what I mean... I hope I'm wrong and its way easier than this...

Bridge
4 measures rest
After the first hammer-on, you have to sweep up the next three notes
while palm muting. This sweeping part appears a bunch of times.

| The verses according to the inlay on the album: The fact that you think you can speak to me the way you do it bleeds me to believe that you have never stepped out of the skin you live within But when and if this day occurs Your tongue, the taste, will imitate a battery: the anti-equilibrium your stomach becomes the floor A light goes on upstairs the attic is ablaze! This island isnt big enough for both of us so who will swim in eel-infested oceans Kiss the sand good-bye because the tide is coming up and in yeah water, water, everywhere and every chance to sink! Its an amalgation of the things you arent the ways you wish you were a split second perceiving of the way you really look to every one of them i wish that you could get a glimpse (Not sure if he actually DoEs say this) i wish that you could see because - and im sure you knowhow the rest of it goes i think its about people who are just so uneducated (in the life sense) that they just go about their daily lives like they are the centre of the universe - but one day its going to hit them, just how insignificant in the greater scheme of things they actually are, and they are going to 'drown' in the realisation. Like Outside Irony says, they'll get what comes to them. i dont know if anyone has read the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series... in one book theres this machine that in effect destroys peoples souls by showing them to paraphrase, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot with a little arrow that says 'You are here'. this sing kind of reminds me of that! i wish that you | |

| If it wasn't for the fact that I loved the guitar after the second chorus, I'm not sure if I would've liked the song as much. I don't know, I didn't like "ACLOTM" as much as I would've liked. I never listen to it. But I still adore Incubus. | |

| I find it so funny because he is mocking people who don't have a grip on reality. You've probably seen these people. Mostly, they are stern authority figures or just tradition obsessed old people. The day they realize that the world is much more important than anything they can imagine is incomprehensible to them so they look shocked! They think they have the world planned out to the T and then once they hit reality, they are totally helpless. | |

| A truly rocking song witht some great sounds. The guitar solo is mind blowing! As to what it is about...I guess maybe finally showing someone who has always looked down on you that you are great. Like you just won when everyone said you were going to lose. Peace | |
