Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
Haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there... I'll be there.
So, if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
Aah-ah-oo-o-o. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/incubus/drive.html ]
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeahhh
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there... I'll be there.
Would you choose water over wine... hold the wheel and drive?
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there... I'll be there.
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Ohh wa oh
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Ohh wa oh
The meaning of the song is simple... It is not about a guy who is drunk, qvicky1297, however it is about taking control of your life and not making the easy choice simply because it is what is expected from you or that everyone else is drinking the "water". It is about living your dream and not settling. It is not about being reckless... It is simply trying to decide on the choices we must make in life.
Primarily it is all about a guy who was being involved with a car accident and now he got an amnesia. And by then they call him "my amnesia boy"
wahahaha ::: lolzz!!
He contemplates choosing the water not the wine. Water being less appealing than wine- right now. Following our own paths, making our own choices in an uncertain future- regardless of how others try to influence us.
I think what denise67 is trying to say in a fancy way is that just don't let your fears take control of your life, you decide what you want in life and what to do about it.
I just think it means that hes a drunk and he needs to take control of his life, like the whole "water over wine" concept. But i totally love this song, go incububs
