Incubus - Circles
This song has been tabbed already but Dirk plays it on a 5-string Warwick stage 2 bass
and this is the proper way.
He keeps it mainly on the B to get a nice warm feel to it.
E-mail me at jimmy_holman@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments.

| I like the philosophic analogy, Axiom. The line about the bee, however, is referring to the singer as the stinger, not the bee. Further, bees die when they sting. The act pulls the venom sacs, as well as the innards, out of the abdomen. | |

| Sorry all, but there is a very obvious meaning to the song. He's addressing an ex-lover or possibly a friend who wasn't there for him/dumped him. He's taking pleasure in pointing out to her/him how "what goes around comes around", and now that she/he mistreated him, the same is happening to them. "Reciprosity" of treatment is the key here. | |

| I think maybe this means.. Brandon (or maybe a different Incubus boy) had their heart broken, and the girl that broke their heart saw them hurting "You saw me lost in treading water I looked pathetic and as helpless as a stinger without a bee" meaning pretty much she knew she had hurt him, and also.. "Round and round we go We could know when it ends so well We fall on and we fall off Existential carousel " i think that part means that as long as she keeps going around breaking peoples hearts, shes going to get her heart broken, its like and endless cycle against her untill she stops, because shes never gonna know how it feels till it happens to her :) just my thoughts | |
