nice to know you

incubus un muhteşem sarkısı

nice to know you

better than watching geller bending silver spoons
better than witnessing new born nebulas in bloom.
she who sees from ’up high’ smiles and surely sings.
perspective pries her 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 how much this feels
like a waking limb...pins and needles,
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you... to know you

deeper than the deepest cousteau 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 ’birds eye’ is to turn a blizzard to 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, good-bye
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you, good-bye
nice to know you,
to know... you

so could it be that it had been there all along?

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, good-bye,
nice to know you, good-bye,
nice to know you, good-bye,
nice to know you, good-bye,
nice to know you
to know..you

bass ve davulun yardığı şarkı.

bir incubus parçası. morning view albümünde yer alır. solistinin yazdığı sözlerin özünde her şeye başka bir bakış açısıyla bakmanın gerekliliği yatar. sözleri kafasının karışık olduğu bir dönemde yazmıştır. başına gelen bir sağlık problemi sayesinde (sol kolda felç) aydınlanma geçirmiş, kafasındaki bulutlar dağılmış, hayatının anlamını keşfetmiştir. aslında önemli gibi gelen şeylerin önemsizliğini anlamış ve hayatına yeni bir yön vermeye karar vermiş, bu lirikleri yazmıştır. ayrıca sözler kadar müzik de sıkıdır.
