Are You In? Lyrics
i think the song is about how its so much better when we all get along. all is in... no one is out!
This song kind of epitomizes the overall theme of the whole album. Every Incubus album seems to have a different feeling behind it. A Crow Left of the Murder was very political, Make Yourself was very humanistic and focused on self-realization, and Morning View was all about forgetting all the shit that's thrown at you and enjoying life. This song represents that perfectly. Like whatever you and your friends do to chill and let go, do that, whether it's pot (sea-foam green) or whatever. Brandon is asking the listener directly "Are you ready to let go and enjoy life? Are you in?"
Has anyone taken the time to realize how talented Dirk Lance is?? GOODNESS, that boy can take a bass guitar to TOWN people. I saw incubus in concert about 2 weeks ago, and during this song he was all over. I only want to say one thing to those who say that this isn't a good song because the simple lyrics. Incubus makes MUSIC. Simple as that. They have a bass player, drummer, guitarist, dj as WELL as a singer. Why not let em all have a chance to show they can jam out? Great neat, great groove, hell of a vocal melody, and good guitar SUPPORT (switching roles!!) Guys... beautifully written song has to be respected...
I love this song =] Ar first i though it was kind of about chilling out and friendship but after watching the video, i think its got a bit more of a cheeky sexual meaning. Its nicer to think its the friend thing but i think its more applying to threesomes etc...
it's about an orgy. brandon boyd got inteviewed by chad micheal murray for ellegirl and brandon boyd said yes.
@celestina1the2 could definitely see them singing about such a theme, and with such a mellow / chilled out tune :)

My interpretation, having not seen the video (cause I didn't want it to influence my interpretation) is that this is a tongue & cheek song about how there's the "in" crowd that always has to be in hip/fashion and be conformists, then there is the followers who always want to be with the "in" crowd and then there's the others such as the geeks, nerds and the non-conformists. The song is more of a sarcastic/matter-of-fact take on these types of social scenarios, saying "are you in" or are you a geeks/nerd.
Love the track, chill music....
I think it is really simple, just that things are always better when everyone is in. When we are all on the same page, all in, all together....
Also Incubus are a bunch of Surfers and for them I would imagine when Sea Foam Green is in fashion the waves are good, and also good times when all are in with that.
This song is good, When I went to see Incubus Brandon said there was no need to ask us this question! :)
this song is about an orgy. if you look up a interview that chad micheal murray did with brandon boyd in ellegirl you will see.
