109 Nice To Know You
Incubus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing new-born nebulas in bloom
She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings
Perspective pries your once-weighty eyes and it gives you wings

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long, it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb
Pins and needles, nice to know you

Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
To know you

Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go
And higher than the heights of what we often think we know
Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees
To obtain a bird's eye is to turn a blizzard into a breeze

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long, it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb
Pins and needles, nice to know you

Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
To know you

But could it be that it has been there all along?
Yeah

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long, it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb
Pins and needles, nice to know you

Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you




Goodbye, nice to know you
To know you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Incubus's song "Nice To Know You" describe the feeling of a profound realization or epiphany, as well as the joy and gratitude that comes with it. The opening lines address the idea that life can be better than watching the supernatural acts of a psychic, or witnessing the beauty of the cosmos. The singer suggests that there is something even more wonderful, and it is "she who sees from up high", who can provide a new and enlightening perspective.


The second verse builds on this idea by imagining a bird's-eye view of the world, as something that can transform chaos into tranquility. The lyrics suggest that a clear perspective is a gift, and that those who possess it are "blessed". The chorus repeats the phrase "nice to know you", and the word "goodbye", which seems to suggest that the singer is saying goodbye to his/her old way of thinking and feeling, and welcoming a new way of being in the world.


Overall, the lyrics to "Nice To Know You" paint a picture of someone who has experienced a profound change of perspective, and is filled with joy and gratitude as a result. The song encourages listeners to seek out new ways of seeing the world, and to embrace the beauty and wonder that can come from a shift in perspective.

I haven't felt the way I feel today In so long its hard For me to specify I'm beginning to notice How much this feels like A waking limb Pins and needles Nice to know you Goodbye Nice to know you
The artist hasn't felt the way they do today in a long time, but they find it difficult to describe exactly what is different. They are starting to realize that this feeling is a sign that they are waking up or coming back to life, much like a limb that has fallen asleep and is waking up. They say goodbye, but they also acknowledge that it's nice to know the person or thing that helped them feel alive again.


Deeper than the deepest Coustou would ever go Higher than the heights of what We often think we know Blessed she who clearly Sees the wood for the trees To obtain a bird's eye is to Turn a blizzard to a breeze
There are depths that are beyond reach, even for someone skilled in their craft, and heights that surpass what we think we know. Someone who can see the bigger picture and distinguish between the details and the whole is truly fortunate. Having a bird's eye view can help us see a chaotic situation more clearly and make it easier to handle.


Could it be that it had Been there all along
The singer wonders if the feeling of being alive again was always within them, just waiting to be noticed or awakened.


To know you
This line is repeated throughout the song and can be interpreted as a desire to understand something or someone on a deeper level. It could also be seen as a farewell or thank you to whatever has helped the artist feel alive again.

You again tried, made and succeeded to do something new and unexpected (and simply by this you earned my pride and happiness ❀️❀️❀️). This what the rhythm section is doing is superhuman. Ruxx definitely hit a brand new road... so far I heard such rhythms only by drum machines. He did it now with his own drums, his hands, feet, heart and soul ❀️ Den, you probably soaked your bass into plutonium before recording, didn't you? :)) it's radioactive, it hits right in the root chakra (euphemism, sorry :)))) and keep doing these little, refined grooves and these little tricks, because you can do it, you can do it all and even more... Maestro Blu made me speechless again :) an absolutely diverse, multi-talented musician and I'm more and more happy every time that he enstrenghtens Cygnus on every Friday. Prof. Reny is the prof he is :) routine, small tricks that end in great results ❀️❀️❀️
And I'd say Ruxx's voice is five-star, but the Cygnus constellation consists of nine stars, so it's 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 :)))
And now I'm off to sharing :))))
(because it's caring πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‰πŸ˜)
