I’m born, I’m alive
I breathe, in a moment or two I realize
That the sphere upon which I reside
Is asleep on its feet
Should I go back to sleep?
I’m born, I’m alive
I breathe, in a moment or two I realize
That the sphere upon which I reside
Is asleep on its feet
Should I, should I, should I go back to sleep?
You stare at me like I’m a vitamin
On the surface you hate, but you know you need me
I come dressed as any pill you deem fit
Whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily
We orbit the sun, I grow up
My open eyes see a zombified, somnambulist society
Leaving us as vitamins for the hibernating human animal
Do you, do you, do you see what I mean?
You stare at me like a vitamin
On the surface you hate, but you know you want me
I come dressed as any pill you deem fit
Whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily
And I wonder, will you digest me?
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
Because in my mind it’s set the vitamin is ripe to give
Coming closer to another two thousand years
You and I will pry the closed eye of the sleep machine
You stare at me like a vitamin
On the surface you hate, but you know you want me
I come dressed as any pill you deem fit
Whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily
what a i like the moust, as usual for incubus, are the amazing lyrics. they're so full of meaning. Everytime someone has something to say, we rather pay attention to the messenger rather than the message. We just don't get it... we just want to consume the master like if it was a vitamin,, like if we were all zombies in search for flesh,,, in search for light.... not the real light,, not the natural source but the one vehiculed by another...
Tell you the truth, I first heard this song on an old playstation game. Ever since then, I've always loved it and the message is pretty intense. Never cared for the movie it was in. But I can say with full confidence that I own and love the album it derived from. S.C.I.E.N.C.E was one of their best.
