07 A Crow Left Of The Murder
Incubus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unlearn me
Ditch what I read
Behind what I heard

Look, find, free
Yet, do you get it?
Yet, do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map
Of it all, it all

Evidence
March of the air
Pulse of the sea

Look, find, free
Yet, do you get it?
Yet, do you get it?

From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map
Of, it all, it all

On a line indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map
Of, it all, it all

Everything I wanted
Wanted to know
Everything I wanted
Wanted to see, to see

Unlearn me
Unlearn me
Do you get it yet?

Look, find, free
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?

Do you get it yet?




Do you get it yet?
Do you get it?

The "straight roads" we thought we needed to follow may lead us in unexpected directions, but each step we take contains its own clues, its own map.


Overall, the lyrics of "A Crow Left of the Murder" seem to be urging listeners to question their assumptions and to trust their instincts.
