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.

Trust Fall
Incubus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things have been a little inside out apologies
Babe, I'm gonna ride out the tide, take it in stride
Where would I run to?
Even if I was in disguise, it'll follow me
It's funny how the little things stick, make you seasick
Sweep you off your feet!
It's only a trust fall
Into the arms of all
Love is a blessed curse, lets you sail across the known universe
I like it when you look at me like I'm an alien
Lure me with a lock of your hair
Taking that dare is a fire under my feet
Now I see I gotta let go if I wanna know
Gotta let it steal my face
Now I embrace
So what's in front of me
Right in front of me
It's only a trust fall
Into the arms of all
Love is a blessed curse, lets you sail across the known universe
Everyone's in on it
And only a fool would quit
Love is the last and first lets you sail across the known universe
Love is the last and first lets you sail across the known universe
It's only a trust fall
It's only a trust fall
Into the arms of all
Love is a blessed curse, lets you sail across the known universe
Everyone's in on it
And only a fool would quit
Love is a blessed curse lets you sail across the known universe
Love is a blessed curse lets you sail across the known universe
It's only a trust fall
The palms of your feet
The whites of your eyes
The marrow in the tree
The sap in your bones
Same as the pistol, heavy in hand
Same as the storms, spinning on Io
Not a divide
That's an illusion, a collective dream
You startle and wake
Salute the abyss
Smile and surrender
Into a glimpse
The rapturous nothing
Into the arms of your captor
Into the arms of the all
Into the arms of the all
Into the arms of the all

Same as the pistol, heavy in hand
The weight of responsibility and the potential to cause harm or create change
Same as the storms, spinning on Io
The chaotic and uncontrollable nature of the universe
Not a divide
There is no separation between oneself and the world around us
That's an illusion, a collective dream
Perceptions of reality are subjective and influenced by societal norms
You startle and wake, Salute the abyss
Experiencing an awakening and embracing the unknown
Smile and surrender, Into a glimpse
Finding peace and acceptance in fleeting moments
The rapturous nothing
Finding joy in the absence of material possessions or distractions
Into the arms of your captor
Submitting to the forces that shape and guide us
Into the arms of the all
Finding love and acceptance from everyone and everything

Their old stuff is magnificent but their new stuff doesn't cease to amaze me. Their 2011 album took me by surprise by how amazing it was, and this blew my mind as well. Good job Incubus! Still got my attention after people kept telling me "it's just a phase"
