This might not be the "deepest" Incubus song ever... but I'm still diggin it.
At first I thought it was about a larger picture... sort of like a narrative about human beings... We as human beings have only existed on planet earth for a fraction of time when compared to the overall age of the earth... in that sense we are all "adolescents." Yet, we're f***ing up the world with pollution etc... But we ignore the damage we do... we put it "out of sight" and therefore "out of mind." The singer, here, doesn't find comfort in the excuse of "kids will be kids" or "kids do the darndest things" when it means we are ruining the world, etc... lol... I dunno. Too far?
But, I also like the more straight-forward idea of it being about growing up, life as a teenager... sort of a "1979" vibe?
In any case, I like Incubus for their ever-evolving style and the fact that every song can mean something different to everyone.

Rock on Incubus. Rock on.
