Incubus is a five-man al… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists using this name:
Incubus is a five-man alternative rock band formed in 1991, based in Calabasas, California. Members include Brandon Boyd (vocals and percussion), Mike Einziger (guitar), Ben Kenney (bass), Jose Pasillas II (drums) and DJ Chris Kilmore (turntables). Former members of the band include Gavin Koppel (a.k.a. DJ Lyfe) (turntables) and Alex Katunich (a.k.a. Dirk Lance) (bass). The band's name may seem a peculiar choice to fans, as an incubus is a type of demon that, in mythological lore, comes in the night and has sex with women while they are sleeping; it seduces them in their dreams The story behind the name is that the band needed to think of a name hours before their first show and, after a few failed choices, Mike looked in a dictionary and chose "Incubus" almost at random. Mike says that the name was chosen because it sounded silly; Brandon holds that it was chosen because they were teenagers and the definition had the word "sex" in it. "We really didn't want to rape women in their sleep. But, we were fifteen and it seemed harmless to us then, and we never changed it," says the band.
Incubus has received both critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles. The band earned mainstream recognition with the release of their 1999 album Make Yourself. In 2001, Incubus became even more successful with the single "Drive" and their follow-up album Morning View. Their sixth studio album, Light Grenades, debuted at No. 1 in 2006 and has received Gold certification in the U.S. Incubus released their first greatest hits album Monuments and Melodies in June 2009, accompanied by a tour of the United States, Japan and Canada. The band's most recent album, 8, was released on April 21st, 2017.
2. A death/thrash metal band from Metairie, Louisiana. The band was made up of Francis Howard (guitar/vocals), Moyses Howard (drums), Andre Luiz (bass), and Luiz Carlos (guitar). The two Howard brothers are actually from Brazil, and immigrated to Louisiana. This Incubus has released one demo, and two albums, with one album being remastered and re-released with a different track listing. This band has changed their name to Opprobrium.
3. A death/thrash metal band from Georgia who released one demo in 1987. The drummer, Mike Browning, went on to Morbid Angel and later Nocturnus fame.
4. A thrash metal band from SΓ£o Paulo, Brazil that released 2 demos in 1986 and 1988.
5. A thrash metal band from JoΓ£o Pessoa, ParaΓba, Brazil.
6. A New Wave of British Heavy Metal band that released a full-length album "To the Devil a Daughter" in 1984. Still a favorite among NWOBHM fans.

8. A Techno/Rave combo.
109 Nice To Know You
Incubus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Better than watching Gellar
Bending silver spoons
There are experiences that are more fascinating than watching someone perform tricks, such as bending spoons, which impresses many people.
Better than witnessing
Newborn nebulas in bloom
Experiences can be even more incredible than seeing cosmic events like newborn nebulae coming into existence.
She who sees from up high smiles
And surely sings
Someone who sees the world from a different perspective is often happy and inspired.
Perspective pries her once
Weighty eyes and
It gives you wings
Looking at something from a new perspective can lift a heavy feeling and give you the ability to move forward in a positive way.
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 β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ). 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 β€οΈ 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 β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
And I'd say Ruxx's voice is five-star, but the Cygnus constellation consists of nine stars, so it's πππππππππ :)))
And now I'm off to sharing :))))
(because it's caring πππ)
