Make Yourself

Number of listens: ||
Stars (out of 5): 3


Brandon Boyd has a great voice.

I never want to like this song when it first comes on. The unorthodox start doesn't do it for me but once the song gets going I remember how much I like it. The background beat and guitar is fitting in the beginning and causes the listener to pay a bit more attention and then they are thrown into it at "son becomes a man."

I saw Incubus a few years ago, before "Drive" came out and everyone went insane. They were so good live and I'd really like to see them again. Personally, I think they are a great band who manages to capture their energy in their recorded music.


Blink and you miss a beat.
Keep one of your eyes open at all times.
Think that you're on the brink?
The shit hasn't even began to hit the fan.
Consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes.
Situation has a stink.
Better clear the air before your son becomes a man.
Blink.
Everything's been augmented, you've been left so far behind.
Think, for sure, next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head.
Consequence you've seen has been stranger than sci-fi of any kind.
Situation baffles me.
I guess it's true you too are one of the walking dead.
You better think fast!
Cause' you never know what's comin' around the bend.
You better not blink!
For Consequence is a bigger word than you think.
It's bigger than you or me.
