THIS IS WHERE I AM A GENIOUS! This song is not about marijuana, this song is not about a green light and not about a green traffic light. Here goes my Story. A Certain shade of green pertains to the Mayan Indians and The Shaman indians. The Mayans calendar year ends in the year 2012 AD. This is the predicted end of the world for many The Exact date of this is December 21, 2012. Brandon is hugely spiritual and got this way by studying the Mayan Indians it says in a few interviews he was taught by a woman who was a genious in mysticism. Also, the shade of green is by the Shaman indians. IF ANY OF YOU HAS READ THE BOOK PHOENIX RISING by Mary Summer Rain (I am almost positive Brandon Has Read this book). When the Phoenix days are near, The sky will turn a certain shade of green due to the negativity and pollution of the world. Also, when Brandon warns about procrastination, he thinks that it is not a good Idea to wait for the Pheonix days to come around just to warn people. I wish i could explain this better, but there is only so much you can type out to people, with out talking tothem in person. But this is definitely what it is about. The drastic change that is about to occur if us as a civilization and as a human race stays on this greedy, money grabbing trail. Almost all of his songs are about this type of thing. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ PHOENIX RISING i suggest you do, all of his songs have some inkling of reference to this book, or this type of thing. (Warning, Nice to Know You, and the rest of them.) Brandon, as well as the rest of the band are very easily misunderstood when it comes to lyrics. Anyway, if you like these things, another good song that is somewhat like this is AENEMA by tool. Listen to the lyrics. P.S. Mother Nature always wins in the end. Thanks!
haha I was reading through the comments and getting discouraged that no one had said the truth. You pretty much got it right on the nose. This is why I love incubus, they sing about the same goals I have. To change our society before we destroy ourselves. It's amazing how so many people are into the music but have no idea what he's talking about. Drugs, jealousy, road rage?! I mean come on! lol

@pooleyacht I think you hit it in the head! Wasn't the Mayan Calander the one that said the world would end in 2012? Heck there was even a movie with John Cusack regarding it I think. But none the less, this song was written in 1997 (SCIENCE)... so I definetely think it makes sense, it's not like they randomly picked a year 15 years later... I've always loved this album, I think it was a little before it's time as I really got into Incubus in high school (99-03). I've always loved them, Vitamin and Favorite Things are my two...
