Pardon Me

Although the lyrics to the above-mentioned Incubus song are a bit over-dramatic, I love the song for a few obvious reasons:

1. I’m 23, duh.
2. Nick Lazzarini used it for his last solo performance on “So You Think You Can Dance?”
3. It’s Incubus, duh.

A decade ago, I never thought I would be,
At twenty-three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion.
Woe is me.

But I guess that it comes with the territory;
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.

I need you to hear,
I need you to see,
That I have had all I can take,
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me.

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me…
Don't ever be the same.

On a sad, unrelated note: Love Monkey has been pulled by CBS after ONLY three episodes. For those of you who were not in the meager 7.2 million viewers that it averaged, go fuck yourselves/I’m pissed. My heart-felt sympathy goes out to both Tom Cavanagh and Jason Priestley, whose careers are both struggling…poor Canadians!
