If youre lonely and tou feel like the world is against you, remember that the message of this song is to be like a Phoenix. Burst into flames, be done with every shit in this life and rise again a new person, never be the same.

rdamata89 this is my favorite Incubus song. This hit me during my last year in college. All the bullshit dont matter in the end, only gonna drag you down if you dont burn the old you with them.
I've recently been trying to change gears in my life and become a better man. I was doing some work from a coffee shop the other day, and Pardon Me by Incubus was playing over the speakers. This song has been stuck in my head ever since. I've listened to Incubus for years, but I'd never really paid attention to the words of this song. Well, I'm 33 (not 23 like the song) but everything else in this song perfectly describes my journey and my desire to burst into flames, rise above them, and transform into my best self. Thank you Incubus for the motivation to keep pushing ahead.
I'm 43 and feel the same way. Last time I really listened to Incubus I was in the Navy, but this song hits different when you're trying to get out of a dark place inside your own mind. I wish you well on your journey.
@@TheSonuvabish I beg for your forgiveness my Lord for we are simply not as in amazingly intelligent as you are. You comment was just genius; you yourself are a genius.
@@esakl.694 You are a douchebag. Anybody who thinks Incubus made one of the best songs in the history of music is a retard. So yes, it is true that compared to this lot, I am clearly a genius.
"Rise above the flame" is probably the most important bit of this song. Many of us feel like we're living in hell, like we're constantly burning our time away. It's up to each of us to rise above and discontinue the monotony.
the funny part. its not a game. its a waste of life. when drama is your fashion. and you don't get paid for it. its the quality of a drama queen or king. Madness is my drug. but bored bitches isn't one of them.
that song that means so much to you it makes u cry when you sing it. not from sadness but from the realization of how much truth and realness is being expressed through words
When I was a teenager I was strictly a hip hop head. Then one fine day my ears were blessed with this song and that started the progression into being a metal head lol.... but this is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time
Imagine If This Was Chester Bennington Singing This IMHO It Would've Sounded Better Than Incubus's Version With Chester Screaming So Pardon Me While I Burst Into Flames
lindsey marie yes...music is my medicine. Music has been a constant source of therapy for me. I wouldn't be here now if i didn't find comfort in music. Some ppl just don't have anyone to listen or like myself I was all alone in my struggles. Thank God for tunes.
Their burning, agonized soul soon will rise above the ashes with colors and aesthetic just like phoenix. If only they escape their long torment with the sun.
I listened to this song for the first time in a long time (Used to be really into incubus as a teen) and finally at 28 and tired I never related so hard to the lyrics 'Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet earth' I feel this on a molecular level
This was my song. When mp3 players first came out, I remember I bought one and managed to load like 50 songs onto it. This was one of them. That shit changed the technological world.
I've always seen it as he's reached his limit in putting up with how irrational and hypocritical people can be and how it causes so much despair/pain/hindrance to the world. After noticing this he claims he's above that type of mindset and behavior, hence, "Pardon me while I...rise above the flame". He even says how thinking differently isolates him from others, "the perils of being in 3D(real, genuine)". Music really is poetry in action and can go very deep if you look/listen hard enough.
No, no, I appreciate it. I like hearing what other people think when they listen to music. It's one of the few things that allows me to keep faith in humanity.
Not a fan of Incubus, Numetal, or Post Grunge. To hell with all of it really...except this song. It’s just so perfect. It’s what Enter Sandman was. Or November Rain or something. Nobody hated those songs no matter how much they hated noisy rock or metal music back in the day.
I'm sure anyone could disagree with me cuz it's such a minor part, but I fucking love the guitar part 40 - 46 seconds in! It's mysterious, and maybe even a little tense, yet at the same time, calm! I can't really describe it, but it gives me chills every time I hear it,and I love it, especially at 1 in the morning when it's dark and quiet!
Why do I love so many songs like this and they are all older than me? Usually you would see a 15 year old wearing headphones and fancy ass shoes, listening to Drake and going through drama. I didn't grow up like that. The music may be older than me but I couldn't imagine life without it.
pretty straight forward, the guy is tired of the world and it's evil ways and he is a bout to freak out, that "burst" can be anything from screaming, to punchng someone in the face, jumping from a told building (not recommended) or simply writting an amazing song
23 years old just found out I have a left temporal glioma(tumor).. that is responsible for my epilepsy.. Attempted suicide recently due to side effects of seizure medication as well as stress. An aunt of mine saved my life my knocking away the knife that was being run across my neck.. She was the one who raised me through my teens. Incubus randomly popped into my head a day or two after the incident and this is the song that plays. Didn't know it would be so appropriate.. Me and my aunt were in tears once I showed it to her....
The complexity of conversation I had with a dear friend of these lyrics. Even though he has past on. I keep leveling up from where we met in life . This song for ever will speak on that mind set I was in when I met that dear person. Who helped me out of a dark spot with these lyrics.
Just some word to the wise..: People don’t ALWAYS help but there is ALWAYS one who will whether it be a dog that walks up to you wagging it’s tail,a stranger who recognizes your pain and offers help,or a song that you REALLY needed to hear that explained exactly HOW U FEEL!! This world is a lonely place but you are not the ONLY ONE so you’re not alone after all. If you need help,reach out to the one (or ones) that you (and you alone) know you can trust just enough BECAUSE you CAN NOT trust anyone 100%...EVEN FAMILY... EVEN YOURSELF... Remember that.
We destroy our homes out of some vague type of greed, wage wars for things we dont need. And we're supposed to think life is this precious thing. Well dont you agree, that we should respect ourselves a little more?
i got into incubus because of my dad, we used to sit on the couch watching the nice to know you video on music on demand. and i knew then i had a huge crush on Brandon
same here, I'm 23 and just had a massive panic attack at work not to long ago. this song came into mind. if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here bro.
no matter how old you get... there are still days, weeks, months and years that this song still resonates too.
so if i 1 day old it still resonates to me
shit i even type like I'm one day old 😂😂😂
Agreed
It's kinda like he's been saved and after that you will see mankind different on a whole new level it's spiritual
At 65, i really want to get the karaoke of this song down, so i can see the odd looks from the others im my group. Such an "in your face" piece.
This is pure nostalgia because I always heard it in the car when I was little. I miss those days.
I was gonna comment the same thing. Nostalgia for real.
@@goldfighter1677 qqqqq
I just heard this on the radio today, and I’m liking it a lot!
Me and my best friend Aaron always jammed this before our lives changed.
Same. Foo Fighters, Incubus, System Of A Down, Linkin Park, TOOL, Rammstein, still listen to it all

Yep the mindless games people play
What sucks even more than people not liking this song is people not "getting" this song. So much meaning.
I think I'd rather have someone who doesn't fully understand it but still enjoys the tune than someone who doesn't like it at all.

Unfortunately people who have never even felt that yet think the totally opposite way. Then when they finally feel it it’s everybody else’s fault.
