Nowhere Fast
Incubus · Make Yourself [1999]
Will I ever follow through with what I, with what I have planned.
I guess it's possible that I have been a bit distracted
and the directions for me are a lot less in demand,
in demand.
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
If the wind blew me in the right direction
would I even care?
I would. (chorus)
I take a look around; it's evident the scene has changed.
And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past.
Then there are times when I can't seem to understand at all
and yes it seems as though I'm goin nowhere...
really fucking fast, nowhere fast.
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
If the wind blew me in the right direction
would I even care?
I would, I would.
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
If the wind blew me in the right direction
would I even care?
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would.
Nowhere Fast
Incubus' "Nowhere Fast" stands as a defining track from their 1999 album *Make Yourself*, capturing the band's transition into a heavier, groove-oriented sound. The song features the group's signature blend of melodic vocals and distorted guitars, establishing a rhythmic foundation that would characterize their work for decades. Released during a pivotal era for alternative rock, the recording showcases the band's ability to fuse pop sensibilities with aggressive instrumentation. It remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a key example of the nu-metal and alternative metal genres that emerged in the late 1990s. The track's enduring appeal lies in its infectious energy and the seamless integration of frontman Mike Shinoda's vocal style with the band's powerful riffs.
