Make Yourself by Incubus

If I hadn't made me, I would of been made somehow..

If I hadn't assembled myself, I would've fallen apart by now..

If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow!

Powers that be would have swallowed me up,

But thats more then I can allow!

(But!)


If you let them make you! They'll make you paper-mache!

At a distance you're stong, until the wind comes..

Then you'll crumble and blow away...

If you let them fuck you! There will be no foreplay!

Rest assured, they'll screw you completely, until your ass is blue and grey!


You should make amends with you!

If only for better health!

But if you really want to live...

Why not try, and Make yourself?


If I hadn't me, I'd have fallen apart by now..

I wont let them make me..It's more then I can allow!

So when I make me, I won't be paper-mache..

And if I fuck me...I'll fuck me in my own way!!!


You should make amends with you,

If only for better health!

But if you really want to live...

Why not try, and make yourself?

I've never particularly enjoyed the music to this song (there are much better Incubus songs around, especially Fungus Amongus).  The difference is what it says and the problem it entails.  People always talk of living beyond the proverbial influence and/or not caring what others think.  If you really didn't care what others thought, you would do whatever you wanted, but you don't.  Making yourself only works half the time, and even then, can fail in bringing you happiness.  Fuck people, but fuck these stupid transcendentalists who say through human progressive psyche we can attain shit beyond our wildest dreams.  My "progress" hasn't made me content--much less, happy.
