A Certain Shade Of Green - Incubus (studio)

A Certain Shade Of Green - Incubus
S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

A certain shade of green,
tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around say move ahead.
Could someone please explain to me
your ever present lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by ropes?
Or do grudges cloud your day?
My sources say the road is clear,
and street signs point the way.

Are you gonna stand around 'till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?

Would a written invitation
signed, "Choose now or lose it all,"
sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?
You've been raised in limitation,
but that glove never fit quite right.
The time has passed for hand-me-downs,
choose a new, please evolve,
take flight.

Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.

Green? What are you waiting for?
Said what are you waiting for?

A written invitation?
A public declaration?
A perfect constellation?
Remember when you procrastinate you choose last
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.
Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.
What are you waiting for? (Echoes several times)

ok i totally get this song it means that what r u waiting for live ur life dont wait il the end of the world .and a certain shade of green title makes sense to cuz green means GO

[michael88bjj]

well its was believed by the myans that in 2012 the world as we know it would change. Some people (weirdos) think this means the end of the world. I dont think thats what thier saying in the song tho. USA are working on a 1 world goverment maybe that will come to life in 2012. What you think?

[arsimckhoi]

I have long stretches were I hate music because it all sounds so bland but then listen to this song and realize that has to be texturous and dynamic

[MrATravis1]

Im not sure if the illuminati ties in with the meaning behind the song. Totally against the illuminati , but this songs great to groove to whn your highh

[batzangelika]

I agree that the more meanings we can take from the song, the better! I think it means that we should get off our asses and fix the world before this certain shade of green (soylent green) becomes a reality. I like all these other theories too though. :)

@musiclilife1024 or weeeeed lulz

[kyledes91]

@TheEmilosis yeah its about making weed legal and how it could change the world and how were stupid for siting around waiting for it

[kyledes91]

@Facless55 pretty sure ur 100% right

[kyledes91]

everyone has their own opinion of this song but if u ask me its about making marijuana legal. and who knows maybe 2012 will be the year our government finally opens its eyes and does it. it would give a total 180 to the us economy

[sjjdiienno1]

its all about your own interpretation. i hate people saying theres one set meaning. i feel it could possibly ruin the song for someone
