Punch Drunk
Incubus污 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I found it I would drive so far from here
The city streets are dim
And my hands are tempted once again
To give in
I'm having trouble seeing
I'm punch drunk and
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I will survive
On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
On the road my thumb is out
I'm hitchin' home tonight I am without a name
Where was it that I lived?
Well nevermind just take me with you
And forget
The lack of information
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I will survive
On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
I will survive
Tonight I wander and I roam
Just lookin' for a way back home tonight
The sun is coming up
I think I've had my fill
Wait, who the fuck are you?
Where did I park my car?
Please forgive my
Lack of information
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle, oh
I'm having trouble seeing
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I will survive
On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
I will survive
Tonight I wander and I roam
Just lookin' for a way back home tonight
Spare me, a ride, a ride tonight
Spare me, a ride, a ride tonight
(On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?)
The lyrics of this song convey a sense of confusion and desperation as the singer seems to have lost his way and cannot remember important details like where he parked his car or where he lives. He is punch drunk, which means he is in a state of drunkenness or disorientation, and he is searching for a way back home. He asks for help from the people around him with lines like "It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige" and "Spare me, a ride, a ride tonight". Throughout the song, the singer is in a state of existential crisis, unsure of his place in the world and struggling to find a way forward.
The theme of being lost and searching for meaning in life is a common one in Incubus' music. The band often blends different genres of music, including rock, metal, and pop, to create a unique sound that reflects the complexity of the human experience. "Punch Drunk" is a great example of this blend of styles, with its catchy chorus and driving guitar riffs. The song was released in 1997 on the band's album "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." and has since become a fan favorite.

Did I park my car?
I can't remember where I left my car
If I found it I would drive so far from here
I'm so lost and frustrated, I just want to escape
The city streets are dim
The darkness around me is overwhelming
And my hands are tempted once again
I feel weak and helpless, like I might make a bad choice
To give in
To succumb to my temptations or fears
I'm having trouble seeing
My mind is clouded and I can't think clearly
I'm punch drunk and
I feel disoriented and dizzy, like I've been hit repeatedly
I need to find a way back home
I feel lost and alone, and I want to return to a place of comfort and familiarity
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I'm desperate and begging for help, hoping for a kind or helpful stranger
I will survive
Despite my struggles, I am determined to keep going
On this island I am stuck
I feel trapped and isolated in my current situation
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
I'm hoping for some sort of fortunate turn of events to get me out of my current predicament
On the road my thumb is out
I am hitchhiking, hoping for someone to give me a ride
I'm hitchin' home tonight I am without a name
I feel lost and anonymous, like I don't have a true identity
Where was it that I lived?
I can't remember or locate the place I call home
Well nevermind just take me with you
I'm willing to abandon my past and follow whoever will lead me out of my current circumstances
And forget
I'm willing to let go of everything and start anew
The lack of information
My confusion and uncertainty about my situation
The sun is coming up
A new day is dawning, offering a chance for a fresh start
I think I've had my fill
I've had enough of my struggles and want to find a way out
Wait, who the fuck are you?
I'm feeling paranoid and suspicious of those around me
Please forgive my lack of information
I'm apologizing for my confusion and asking for understanding
Spare me, a ride, a ride tonight
I'm pleading for someone to give me a chance and help me out

Sade has one of the most beautiful voices in history, yet she and her band put together two of the most spectacular instrumentals ever in this and Siempre Hay Ezperanza. Almost too much to believe.
