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).

Incubus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trippin' on his shoelace, searchin' for the hairy sucker.
He don't need no funny money, his love is all his power.
Half-naked and full witted, and two weeks less a shower!
You'll see me, I'll be there, with my nose in the grass!
One for me, one for you.
Three for me, one for you.
End of the sack, now the fungi's they are bloom.
The lyrics to Incubus's song Psychopsilocybin describe a person who is high on a drug called "psychopsilocybin", which is commonly known as magic mushrooms. The person is portrayed as being extremely intoxicated and in search of sexual gratification. He is also depicted as being confident and self-assured, claiming that his love is all the power he needs, and willing to indulge in his desires without any regard for money or hygiene.
The imagery used in the lyrics is vivid and often quirky. The person is described as running around with his shoelaces untied, looking for a "hairy sucker", which is likely a slang term for a sexual partner. He is also described as being half-naked and in need of a shower, indicating a lack of personal hygiene. However, despite these less-than-ideal circumstances, he is unapologetic in his pursuit of pleasure.
The lyrics also include a repeating pattern of "one for me, one for you", "two for me, one for you", and "three for me, one for you". This could be interpreted as a way of describing the drug-using behavior of the person in the song, or as a metaphor for a more general pattern of selfishness and disregard for others.
