A decade ago
I never thought I would be
At 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 definate
Possibility
To me.
So pardon me while I burst
Into flames
I've had enough of the world
And it's 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 knee.
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 3D
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.
Last week I posted a question asking what everyone thought this song meant. This is my favorite song and it really means a lot to me. It is kind of a comfort because I feel like this a lot. It just tells me that I'm not alone in how I feel. Sometimes this song brings me to tears, and Incubus is just brilliant when it comes to song-writing.
