Although I can't choose myself, what is your favorite lyric?
Or top favorites?

...so insecurities
are about as useful as trying
to put the pin
back in the grenade.
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.
my problem is you make me melt and I don’t want to be frozen anymore.
and of course...
some people fall in love & touch the sky
Some people fall in love & find quicksand.

Haha, if I smoked, I probably would want to also. I'm glad I don't though. Used to, got sick of it, and I'm completely happy with my choice.

To each his own. I don't think it's that big of a deal. If you don't that's cool, but if you do, that's cool too. Other people's choices don't effect me.

to go off the i miss you line;
to know that you feel the same as i do,
is a three-fold utopian dream.

I didn't think I should start a new thread, but does anyone wish Aqueous Transmission was longer? I do.

Calgone IMO has some of the worst lyrics to an Incubus song. It's really funny, Brandon singing about being abducted and etc., but it just is really childish compared to the kind of stuff he writes today. Man's a genius.

Incubus 101, you just posted four times in a row. Not only could you have included all of those "favorite lyrics" in one post, but that is considered spam. Please try not to do it again.

Oh man, I have so many that I just love to sing too..
Ill try to just pick a few.
This is one..
Quote:
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.
...I know what Im looking for, cannot be sold to me...
...cause' what I want and what I need
is and will always be free...
...and not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me no more...
cause' now I'm full...
(Ok basically the whole song fucking rules!!)
...Choose a new, please evolve,take flight...
...High fives to a better judgement...
...A butterfly under the glass, You are beautiful
But you're not going anywhere...
My UBER favorite.
...There's something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight...
...Should I apologize if what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?!...
...Then there are times when I can't seem to understand at all and yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere, really fucking fast...
...I'm kicking myself that I shared spit with you
So fuck yourself
And fuck this bleeding heart of mine...
...This body's state of "I'm ok, you're not ok"...
And now Im gonna stop.
Last but not least, see my sig 
P.S Wouldnt that be a fun game, 'Guess the Incubus lyric' ??? Altho I gotta say, I know all of them off this page already, but that would be cool to try to stump us Incu-fans. Idea maybe?

wow uh, I thrive on their lyrics. SO here we go...
"In my fantasy you look good intwined in my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine"
- Pantomime
"12pm and my dusty telephone rings" not for the lyric itself but for it's delivery
- 11am
"Blink and you miss a beat keep one of your eyes open at all times"
- Consequence
"This careless thread it's gone ascue"
- Pendulous Threads
"Soliloquy, she was my...
A picture, a wake,
my metaphoric friend"
- Hilikus
"Yeah you got your little world
Picture perfect, its a pearl
Now go and try and sleep in the bed you made"
- Zee Deveel
"Into the sleep machine I won't plug in,
in fact I'd rather die before I will comply.
To you, my friend,
I write the reason I still live,
'cause in my mind it's set the vitamin is ripe to give"
- Vitamin (for both the lyrics and its delivery)
One more and then I'm done
"Temporaryism has been the black plague
And the Jesus of our age"
- Just a phase (probably my favourite in this list)
ps. "I miss you" is definately underated and is an amazing song, one of my favourites and his singing is at it's best in this song. Of course this is all in my opinion.
