i've had a lot of talk about the meaning of this song... many say its sex... sex sex sex. i'd be depressed if that's ALL it is. it'sone of the most beautiful songs on earth musically... it's gotta be more!!!! "love is a verb here in my room" verb means action, that's why people think sex, plus "pink tractorbeam into your incision"... but it could also just mean in his room is where he finds his solace with love...
@Jondude11 To be honest, I think the fact that it is one of the most musically pretty songs on the album and on many albums makes it all the more awesome that it is about sex. I look at it like this, one of the reasons I love incubus is because they are so different in many ways, when I first heard this song, I was like WOW this is so beautiful, it makes me melt a bit, and it is such a pretty deceleration of love, but than I paid attention to the lyrics and was like WHOA...

This is totally about a hook up. Now, think about all the ONE NIGHT STAND songs, nothing compares to this, the thing that makes it even more pretty is the fact, that he isn't rubbing it in the face that HEY I GOT LAID, one night hook up yay me notch on the belt, NO he is saying how beautiful it is when the unexpected comes and snatches you off your feet, when you are someplace, so uncomfortable, so out of place, and you connect with someone even for 1 night, how magical it can be. It is to me a song about how amazing the perfect moment can be, and for many, they have had nights where the night just seemed out of place, and the seemingly littlest thing like a one night hook up can make a magical thing out of the mundane.
Taking something that is somewhat considered taboo like a one nighter and making it so pure and beautiful is what makes incubus so amazing.
I have experienced a night where I was just not excited about where I was, and felt lost, confused, upset, and out of left field became entangled in a situation with someone that ended up being exhilarating and magical, it doesn't have to be a hook up, but in this case the simplest nature of the one night stand matches with the beauty of the song.
Think about it... everything is dull, plain, boring... a technicolor explosion of a person enters the room, and you end up together. It doesn't HAVE to be sex, but that is this story, the sex is what puts it over the top, I came here expecting next to nothing, and this girl came in, and lit up his night, sucked him into her, and showed him the world seen from the stars.... If you have ever had a one night stand, a true one night stand, I mean when you leave the state to return home the next day, with never a chance of meeting again you smile a bit, and say. WOW thanks for being that kind of girl, we have fun, enjoyed one another, and never have to do anything else.... It really is a perfect display of the magic of a intimate connection between 2 strangers who are connected and attracted even if it is 1 night
