Familiar Lyrics

Could there be a familiar ring everytime I sing about
Cycle the tears everything in life no doubt I, I
Reiterate to my jaw is off-set,
But I'll say it again anyway,
What you give it what you get

Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again
Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again

So when the door comes swinging back around
and the taste of familiar medicine is abound
on your breath, breath, breath
Please don't come crawling back to me,
cuz you'll know what I'll say
brother let your knees bleed, please

Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again
Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again

Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again
Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again
Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again
Look at you now, look at you now,
you're put in your place, put in your place oh
all medicine, all medicine is
smacked in the face, smacked in the face again

Ooooh, ooh
Ooooh, ooh

im fairly sure the first verse lyrics are; "could there be a familiar ring, everytime i sing about, a cycle which is everything in life, no doubt i re-iterate til my jaw is offset, but i'll say it again anyway, what you give is what you get."

can someone fix it?

I think this song is about the frustration of a guy whose old girlfriend who has hurt him much in the past is trying to get back with him. So he is basically saying "Look at you now..without me...you;re smacked in the face..just like you smacked me in the face before..." As if His rejecting her is so familiar to when she rejected him. Its just vise-versa in the situation now

I agree, I finally found the lyrics to this song after i downloaded it. Great song. I shoulda known to buy the Spawn soundtrack. Brandon said he hates the movie Spawn I can really confuse myself

This is very different to the Incubus sound, I think it's an early one isn't it from the Spawn soundtrack... I love this song though, just because it shows just how good a vocalist Brandon is.

This is a beautiful song. Brandon's voice rocks on this. Its obvious what its about, u get what u give, what goes around comes around, all that. Like Circles.

I think this song is about a friend who was into drugs,hence "all medicine,all medicine" and when his friend came back begging for help he was "smacked in the face,smacked in the face again" and he was begging for forgiveness "brother let your knees bleed" this is one of Incubus' greatest songs,and I wasn't a big Spawn fan either

The song is different from the Incubus sound because it was remixed by DJ Greyboy for the Spawn Soundtrack. I've never heard the original, I don't know if a recording even exists.

im fairly sure this song is about alcohol or drugs (familiar medicine abound on your breath), and whoever the person maybe is getting back what they gave, and is now pitiful, because they are using drugs to escape their reality. however, since incubus in the old days (when they were actually cool) were completely drug fucked anyway (i mean, "fungus amongus"?), im not entirely convinced it isnt autobiographical.
