Nebula Lyrics

Cover art for Nebula lyrics by Incubus

probly the same thing the santa skit is about at the end of You Will Be A Hot Dancer.

Maybe im just too much of a psychonaut but this song makes me think of tripping, especially on DXM aka robitussin (or maybe dissociatives in general but this is the only one i've done) because it seperates the central and peripheral nervous systems via NMDA antagonism so it kind of makes you go into your own nebula. Its a very introspective experience and because i like to philosophize about a lot of stuff i guess it lets my lunatic indulge itself too. It could probably be about an illegal drug or at least a more controlled drug because of the whole thing about society needing to let the artist do his own thing for creative purposes, but, at least in the united states and most of the rest of the world, there is a stigma about all recreational drug use so I think it still applies. I dont know if Boyd or any other incubus member has actually tried DXM but i know they smoke(d?) a loot of herb and did their share of shrooms. Maybe its just about getting introverted if you get too high, but I wouldnt call that nebulous.

And for those who say its not about drugs and is just about creativity you need to understand that creativity=thinking outside the box and what better way is there to help get your thinking away from the usual?

Im not trying to push drug use here, especially to people who have only tried weed or arent psychologically mature enough because this one is intense. But, if you must try it now that i mentioned it do some research on harm reduction on erowid.org or the rest of the web just search dextromethorphan and you will find something and avoid all other active ingredients in dxm products.
