Incubus Lyrics

Most likely no one will ever read this but....Having read the comments I certainly think there is some truth to the literal sense of the lyrics, as I am sure that real events inspired the writing of the lyrics. As an artist, however, I can tell you that no matter my subject matter in the end I am writing about myself. To me, this piece is a deep reflection on the artists part. Exactly who is it that is trying brush him under the carpet, or hide him under the stairs.... It would be interesting to hear what Fish thinks these some many years later

@Patrick1204 Fish is a genius who has influenced me a lot in just letting loose when writing. Visiting places in the mind never thought possible or too scary to go. In my opinion this song has to do with the theme of the movie Angel Heart. The model made a pact with the devil for fortune and fame but one day forgot who made her what she became. Listen to the song again with this note in mind. It will blow you away.
