Drive
Incubus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I, I can't help but ask myself
How much I let the fear take the wheel and steer?
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately, I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my
Chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive? Oh
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself
My light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
And hold the wheel and drive?
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
The song Drive by Incubus explores the theme of taking control of one's life and choosing to face fears and uncertainties head-on rather than letting them control one's actions and steer them in a certain direction. The lyrics evoke a strong sense of contemplation and questioning, as the lead singer grapples with the idea of being in charge of his own destiny. The chorus "whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah" suggests a willingness to embrace whatever challenges or opportunities come his way with a positive and accepting attitude.
The first verse acknowledges the power of fear and uncertainty to take over one's thoughts and actions, but the singer questions how much control he is willing to give away to those negative emotions. The use of the metaphor of "taking the wheel" and "driving myself" symbolizes the idea of being in control and leading one's own life. The hesitation expressed in the second verse is relatable for many people who struggle with making important decisions and taking risks, but the final lines of the song are inspirational and empowering, suggesting that with determination and self-belief, anything is possible.
Overall, Drive is a powerful song that resonates with its universal themes of taking control of one's life and facing fears and uncertainties head-on. The lyrics are thought-provoking and inspiring, and the melody is infectious and catchy, making it a classic song of the early 2000s.

This was my older brothers favorite band. He died two days ago and still don’t know how to feel. It’s been really weird. But I’m still gonna listen to incubus for those good memories of him
@chrisperez4199
I’m sorry to hear. My condolences to you and your family. Your brother must’ve been a great man.
@charlesthemore5297
@@chrisperez4199 it’s weird. He was great. I’ll miss him. Can’t do anything but to try now
@Anonymous-54545
that must be extremely weird. do you want to describe the situation, since we're a bunch of internet strangers who won't be full of Sorry For Your Losses about it? it seems like the people closest to the deceased person usually have basically no one to talk to because everyone's being so careful around them. how old was he? was he married? do you want to say how he died? etc
