Admiration

I think it's about how he thinks the girl he's in love with is such a great person and strives to be more like her, and in regards to the "Could you move in slow motion..." part, happy moments in our lives pass us by all too quickly, so he wants to slow down and try and make it all last forever.

Beautiful song as always, ecstatic to hear fresh Incubus =)

as the title suggests, its an admiration of what a person has discovered in another person to which s/he strives him/herself -- 'my living example'. like 'unfenced fire' -- knows no bounds and 'traveling over walls' -- challenging whats denied.

and s/he gives that the person is superior than him/her, when it says 'could u move in slow motion' as ur normal pace is too fast for me, 'u speak in riddles' as i cant concieve ur thoughts. But still not being able to keep up doesnt make him/her to turn away, it rather 'turns him/her on' and ask for a promise of eternal love, longing to the level that s/he is becoming all possesive ;)

and the flirtation about mystical deap eyes and the objective character that treats both triumph and disaster as imposters (if i may get help from Kipling here a bit) 'keeping both poets and priests at bay'

and my best part 'could we just this once see eye to eye?' i'll come at level with u, 'ask me how it feels to vie' saying I strive to that too. woohh! i'm going to listen to this song for a long time, n hopefully will one day 'sing' it to my 'admiration' (thats if i dont scare her away with my voice, lol)

Its my first time to listen to incubus, n i'm confessing that i have been missing out on something too good to b missed.

the other songs i listened to r 'make a move', 'admiration' and 'neither of us can see' (all from 'Stealth' the movie) n i just thought, god! what have i just heard, how did i missed this out this long. i wnt to know all about them n their writings

I don't really know what it means exactly...but I think it's a GREAT song and I'm happy to hear something new from these guys!

great song, great song. it should've been chosen to be the next single instead of bloody 'make a move'.....

its simple...they probably wrote it in like 5mins. But, its fucking addictive. As for the meaning; fucked if i know...its something todo with love, probably.

I think it is about people who think sex=love. He's singing about how he loves someone and they move so fast and they want sex. He is singing about how in this fast-paced world that we live in, could everyone just slow down to admire the roses and admire what they have with people because the moment is all we have. Save the best part (sex) for last?

I'm not sure if the posted lyrics are correct. Here are the lyrics posted on incubusonline.com:

Admiration - from the Stealth soundtrack

Could you move in slow motion? Everything goes by so fast Just slow down a little Save the best part for last

You speak in riddles Your intentions turn me on I'm yours forever Will you love me when i'm gone?

You're an unfenced fire Over walls we travel Its you I admire My living example

Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away Any minute now keeping Both poets and priests at bay Don't get ahead of me Could we just this once see eye to eye? What you offer has me Ask me how it feels to vie

Your an unfenced fire Over walls we travel Its you I admire My living example

Its a photograph discovered a decade after Its a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker Its enough to bring a brick wall to its knees And sing, please

Could you move in slow motion? Everything goes by so fast Just slow down a little Save the best part for last

You're an unfenced fire Over walls we've travel Its you I admire My living example

A Certain Shade Of Green, Nowhere Fast, The Warmth, Stellar, Drive, I Miss You, Pardon Me, Circles, Wish You Were Here, Just A Phase, Mexico, Are You In?, Under My Umbrella, Aqueous Transmission, Sick Sad Little World, Pistola, Here In My Room

Basically, just listen to every one of their songs - they are awesome.
