	I think it is also a song about not being able to deal with the "games" that people play, and welcoming death as the only way to set yourself free. Quality song.

No Picture Kyle Rhythm Player	#2 by Kyle Robinson at Jan 18, 1985 at 7:20 PM EST
	Life is a hard pill to swallow, and the way people treat each other doesn't make it any easier. I think this is what Brandon is expressing.

	Do you know the actual story? I read it in an issue of kerrang! Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Brandon had come back from tour to find out that his girlfriend of 7 years had been cheating on him and that both grandmas and a close friend had died. He was in a book shop when he saw a picture of a guy who had spontaneously combusted and he thought that his problems were nothing compared to this guy's. He wrote the lyric "Pardon Me while i burst into flames" on his hand right there. The End

No Picture CoRey Rhythm Player	#4 by CoRey TayLor at Aug 19, 1991 at 9:22 AM EST
	this is personally my fave song by Incubus. the way Brandon sings this song is amazing and i try to sound the way he does but i definitely fail miserably.

No Picture Allistair Average	#5 by Allistair at Apr 30, 1994 at 9:44 PM EST
	When I heard this song, I was awed at how well Incubus captured not only the feelings expressed in the song, but my personal feelings as well. It's not easy being a misanthrope. As soon as the song ended, I knew that if I ever got my book published (it's about a guy who deals with a lot of the crap that this song is speaking about and is known as the phoenix) that I was going to do everything I could for this to be on the soundtrack. This song is a perfect representation of teenage angst and adult frustration. It moves me... On a technical note, I prefer the acoustic version, but I can't find it on CD anywhere...

	best incubus song. even beats drive.

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#7 by claireus s at May 5, 2004 at 3:59 PM EST
	The song is quite amazing. It's mechanics flow well and lyrically, it's great. To me the songs seems to be about ignorance. I mean, you can only tolerate so much...

No Picture Vinnie Rhythm Player	#8 by Vinnie Valium at Jun 24, 2005 at 7:26 AM EST
