I get it, I know where your coming from. I always looked at Incubus as that next 20 yr generation progression of RUSH. S.C.I.E.N.C.E was progressive experiment but they still rocked it subsequent albums, mixed in with a lot of melodic mind bends, (Warning anyone?) which still made them one of all time fav bands.

After dirk lance left, incubus was never the same.

This song is about taking control of your life and making it awesome. A certain shade of green in my opinion can be interpreted in a number of ways both literally and metaphorically. In a sense he's saying quit waiting for everything to be perfect and exactly as you envisioned. Seize the day now instead of making excuses. Go and live your dreams now without excuse. Quit waiting for the so called perfect situation and do what you want to do with your life before it's too late.

AYVSO Sucks? I respect your opinion, but I'd like to think Morning View is a pretty good early 2000s alternative album. Incubus went from a really sick funk rock/alternative metal band, to a pretty cool alternative rock band. I'm not too keen on anything past Light Grenades (2006), but given that every album they made after Fungus Amongus varies in style/is very different from their previous albums, Morning View is different and well done in its own right :) It's more so calming and ethereal. It's a great album for a chill day.

Lyrics (Fixed Version) : A certain shade of green Tell me is that what you need? All signs around They say move ahead Could someone please explain to me Your ever present lack of speed Are your muscles bound by ropes Or do crutches cloud your day My sources say the road is clear And street signs point the way You gonna stand around 'til 2012 AD? What are you waiting for? A certain shade of green I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate What are you waiting for? A certain shade of green! Would a written invitation Signed choose now or lose it all? Sedate your hesitation Or inflame and make you stall You've been raised in limitation But that glove never fit quite right The time has passed for hand me downs Choose a new Please evolve Take flight You gonna stand around 'til 2012 AD? What are you waiting for? A certain shade of green! I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate Green... What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? A written invitation? A public declaration? A private consolation? Remember when you... I think I grew a gray watching you... procrastinate! You gonna stand around 'til 2012 AD? What are you waiting for? A certain shade of green! I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for...

I still listen to this album almost every day. Incubus seriously has a phenomenal discography!

Saw you guys live twice, f*cking incredible. The first time was especially memorable, I drove from Pittsburgh to Virginia Beach for the show, bought lawn tickets because I enjoy walking around during shows and it rained that day so they CLOSED the lawn section and crammed hundreds of us behind the main seats under the roof, heard Young the Giant play but didn't see them, I was about to give it up and go back to the hotel, I asked my girlfriend what she thought, she said let's wait. Not 5 minutes later your photographer (I had no idea initially) approached me and struck up a conversation, after he heard I drove 10 hours to see you guys he literally pulled out two pit passes and gave them to me, said you guys gave him some and had him hand them out, I was beyond grateful, went and got my wrist band and saw you guys from 15 feet away, insane show, you guys sound so good live, thanks for hooking me up and saving my first Incubus show! You guys f*cking rock!

Still the best Incubus song in my opinion...

Pretty much this whole album is a greatest hits

I LOOOOVE Incubus! 24 years a fan! Can't wait to see you guys in Sydney next month ❤

Incubus in the late 90s kicked ass, saw them with (Hed) PE open for Korn in '98.

i have written this on several incubus videos across youtube, so if the name and comment sound familiar i apologize, but i will say it again. Incubus between 1997 - 2004 ( SCIENCE, Make yourself, Morning View, and a Crow Left of the Murder, ) was their prime as a band. What came after that is still great music, everything incubus makes is gold, but this is the sound i grew to love.

I happened to hear New Skin on a radio program at the time that was playing "underground rock". They also happened to play another song by another band that would become a favorite as well. '97 turned out to be a pretty good year to start really delving into music as a pre-teen with Incubus and the Deftones really beginning to hone their sounds with albums like S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Around the Fur.

2:30 when the dreadlock comes off - It reminds me of being in high school in the early 00s. My buddy had dreads, and he and some other friends at some shrooms while out snowboarding for the day. In the lift line he bent over and picked up a small stick and thought it was one of his dreads that froze and fell off.
