R&P: Thoughts on these lyrics?

Question

Hey brahs, what's up? The surfer from Hawaii himself, Citizen King here. Bringin' you another questio for all you to of course... Enjoy.

So at this very moment. I am listening to my all-time favorite song Pardon Me by Incubus. It so incredibly good. I love Brandon's voice and by far, this song takes the cake for me on everything. Perfect singing, perfect bass and guitar playing, perfect drumming, perfect remixing, perfect video, perfect everything. Because the lyrics are so good, I wanted to hear your thoughts on them brah.

So today's question is:

"What are your toughts on these lyrics?"

Pardon me while I burst...

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 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 knee.

I said, "I can relate,"

cause lately I've been thinking of combustication

as a welcome 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, yeah...

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!

Never be the same, yeahh!!

MQ: FAVORITE SONG BY INCUBUS????

10 points goes to best response and as always brah

Enjoy :)

Answer 1

Sounds like the same ole rock lyrics of the last years or so about a person who is tired of life and of 'other' people, as if they are above everyone else. Actually, the music I like, and can even relate to the lyrics just a bit. However, it would be fresh to have lyrics a bit more realistically. After all, we're all human, we all make mistakes, we can all, even myself, be hypocritical at times. peace out brah  

Answer 2

Citizen King... I think your lyrics have seen "Better Days"

Answer 3

Love this song.

I read somewhere that he literally saw a picture of a man bursting into flames, and wrote "Pardon me, while I burst into flames" on his hand right then and there.

Good song about trying to deal with things that life throws at you.

MQ: Drive is definitely another favorite. And Megalomaniac.
