	definitly about dirk. its too bad that dirk was a fucking awsome bassist. I dont really blame him for leaving. hes a funk/rock guy. thats why all his crazy bass lines are on fungus amongus. he was more than discouraged by morning view im sure. as much as i like morning view, theres not too much going on on bass. but now hes kicking himself cuz the bass lines on crow are pretty tight.

	not about dirk listen again, as for rumors of them being bi-sexual dont believe everything you hear damn i mean just cuz u read i9t on the net doesnt make it true, its exactly as you said a RUMOR 1 2 Next

Stefano Average	#3 by Stefano Santin at Jul 3, 1974 at 1:53 PM EST
	This song is about Dirk Lance, the ex-bassist of incubus. "I'm over my head I need a pick-me-up Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man" -- "our backs" refers to the other members of the band and "getting high" is making a name for yourself and having fame for being in the band

	It's a total political statement, the album was aimed at that theme. I think this song is the most obscure piece of art.

eric Rhythm Player	#5 by eric morgan at Aug 6, 1975 at 8:55 AM EST
	Also the lyric "So fuck yourself and fuck this bleeding heart of mine" is i think saying that he is really sad to have to kick Dirk out of the band becuase they were like best friend and highschool and to have to do something like that to one of your friends has to be hard.... but it still was very backstabbing of Dirk to be like that

No Picture ed Average	#6 by ed lubecki at Oct 24, 1983 at 5:01 PM EST
	This song is about their previous bass player. "The rides over, did you enjoy yourself" is basically telling him that its over for him and hes never getting back on. Theres a lot of comments about them being gay "Im kicking myself that i shared spit with you" is not saying they were kissing. Its meaning like whenever they would smoke weed and pass the hit on they would kinda share spit "so take another hit" "steal another line".

Guitar FrE@k Average	#7 by Guitar FrE@k Freak at Dec 3, 1987 at 6:25 PM EST
	My thoughts on the "men too could be on the rag" was talking about himself that men can be like girl get during that time of the month, moody, bitchy, impossible. but thats just me.

Jordan Average	#8 by Jordan Alley at Dec 23, 1989 at 10:12 AM EST
	That song is written in second and a half person. Lyrically, I stepped into what in my mind was what somebody else was trying to say at a very specific situation and couldn't say, so I basically stepped into their voice and said it for them. And that's all I can really say... ~Brandon Boyd

	Whoever this song was about (I would have no clue, I was probably like 9 when Dirk was in the band), I don't like them very much. They remind me too much of myself and what I want to change.

Ivar Average	#11 by Ivar Roban at Oct 14, 2003 at 9:40 PM EST
	oh my goodness i love how theyre so mad and hurting at the same time. he was a lover she was a leech and what it all boils down to is pain. its so beautiful.

ben Lead Player	#12 by ben Tee at Apr 1, 2006 at 4:57 AM EST
	Basically translates as: Met a girl. Liked her. She fucked him about. He got pissed. My sentiments at the moment.

Coke Wanna Be	#13 by Coke at Jul 10, 2006 at 8:16 AM EST
