Crow
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?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "A Crow Left of the Murder" by Incubus can be interpreted in several ways. The song could be seen as a call to unlearn everything one has learned, to question what one has read, and to look for answers beyond what one has heard. The refrain, "Look, find, free, yet do you get it?" implies that there is more to learn, and that finding freedom requires a deeper understanding of the world.


The imagery of the song suggests that the world is full of clues and maps, waiting to be deciphered. The "evidence" mentioned in the lyrics could refer to the natural world around us, the "march of the air" and the "pulse of the sea." The song seems to suggest that everything we need to understand the world is already there, waiting for us to see it.


The repetition of the phrase "from here on it's instinctual" suggests that once we unlearn what we have been taught and start to see the world with fresh eyes, our instincts will guide us. 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. The song suggests that the world is full of mystery and complexity, but that by unlearning what we have been taught and keeping our eyes open, we can find the freedom to explore it.

SOUTHERN GIRL LYRICS

Is everything a baited hook?
And are there locks on all doors?
If you're looking for an open book
Look no further, I am yours

We'll behave like animals
Swing from tree to tree
We could do anything
That turns you up and sets you free

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bonafide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl
Could you want me?

So come outside and walk with me
We'll try each other on to see if we fit
And with our roots, become a tree
To shade what we make, under it

We'll behave like animals
Swing from tree to tree
We could do anything
That turns you up and sets you free

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bonafide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl

Could you want me?

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bonafide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
[Southern girl
Could you want me?] X7
SOUTHERN GIRL 👧💕

HERE IN MY ROOM LYRICS





This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
N You enter in full blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world were to fall apart
In a fiction worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

Your love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room
x2

N You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

If the world were to fall apart in s fiction worthy wind
Your love is a verb here in my room x2

Pink tractor beam into your incision
spinning as free as dervish's whirl
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
kind of girl
kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
That kind of girl
