It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again X4
When it comes, it comes abrupt
And it feels, it feels like trading brains with an imbecile
For real
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not buying philosophies that are sold to me, no, at a steal
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
In comes mental piracy, and NO
What I'm looking for (for)
Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always BE FREE
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again X2
When it comes, it comes unannounced
And it feels like a matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth
And I am the bull
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me
Cuz now I'm full
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
In comes mental piracy, and NO!
What I'm looking for (for)
Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always BE FREE
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again
It was one of my favourite songs during my teenage years
Yas, I see why you re-remember this song. It is amazing how music brings to our remembrance those things that have meaning for us. I know you have been through some tough times recently and I hope you continue to share your thoughts and experiences with us. Thanks for expressing how you feel through music. The Cs say "Music is Good". I don't know why I have been slow to pick up on their thoughts but I do see that there are messages and support in music that can not come home to us quite as clear as other mediums. Yes, they are letting it out again but this time so are we, and NO. May you freely find the support you need on the forum. :)
Thanks gotacobol. For me, this song was more about my irritation towards school and the lies they taught me there... :P

Yas, the song, When It Comes by Incubus takes me back to my high school days. Pretty sure I still have that album somewhere.
A favorite of mine from that same album was Pardon Me:

Cleo,
Wow, what an education for an old "Fa_t" I wish I had been paying more attention to some of the newer music (in my case decades). Yes, I see what you are trying to relate to. I know this is a crazy time to be born. I think if you can hang in there maybe some of us old "far_s" will catch up.
Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago I never thought I would be a twenty-three
On the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate 'cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcomed vacation
From the burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently
Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same, never be the same
Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Pardon me, I'll never be the same
I kind of remember when I was 23 but I can only imagine what it has been like for some of the younger members of the forum. Maybe you can help the ones who are closer to your age to relate to understand what is "going on", "mindless games" and all. :) Now I think will just go and "burst into flames". :(
Oh! I also loved this one. For me, it was some sort of WAKE UP music. You know, you just see all your peers doing silly stuff and playing mindless games while you know there's much more. In my case, I was really concerned about the situation on the world, I wasn't 23 yet, so it was quite an immature concern maybe. But I was just fed up of my classmates being so indifferent and all that. So this song was good for expressing that and I loved it when they say "AND RISE ABOVE THE FLAMES". Because their saying that even if you've got this fed up feeling, it's like the process of leaving that insanity behind and rising as a new person...
Mr.Cyan said:Really like Incubus' Make Yourself album as well, and their songs Privilege, Pardon me, Drive and the DJ Jam"Battlestar Scralatchtica" - my other favourite song is New Skin from their first album S.C.I.E.N.C.E...lyrics below
At first I see an open wound
infected and disastrous
It breathes chaotic catastrophe
it cries to be renewed
Its tears are the color of anger,
they dry to form a scab
To the touch, its stiff and resilient,
underneath, the new skin breathes
As outwardly cliche as it may seem,
yes, something under the surface says,
"C'est la vie"
It is a circle, there is a plan
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Look closely at the open wound
see past what covers the surface
Underneath chaotic catastrophe,
creation takes stage.
Its all been saved
with exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?
Its all been seen with exception for what could be
When will we be new skin?
Fallacious cognitions
spewed from televisions
do mold our decisions.
So stop and take a look,
and you'll see what I see now
Haven't heard them in a while, and this definitely brought back memories of high school days :)
S.C.I.E.N.C.E has some great songs, yeah! :D
I also haven't heard them for a while and I didn't like their new stuff so I don't really follow them anymore. I still think some of their old lyrics are really insipiring as you can see... ;D
Here's another one that (for me) talks about being your own master and driving yourself through life.
