Neither Of Us Can See
Incubus · Monuments & Melodies [2009]
One big
Walking chemical reaction
A buzzing hive of
Self synapsis and nascent self perception
Isn't it
Disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything
We both have pains
We both have eyes (neither of us can see)
We both have pains
We both have eyes (neither of us can see)
One in the same
two of a kind (neither of us can see)
And neither of us can see (yeah)
I am
Just a
Blinking neon roadside attraction
I sow future wrinkles
and I'm told I'm tapped potential
Isn't it
Disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything
We both have brains
We both have eyes (neither of us can see)
We both have pains
We both have eyes (neither of us can see)
One in the same
two of a kind (neither of us can)
And neither of us can see (yeah)
I am
one big
fleeting errant contradiction
So good
To meet you
We are one in the same
Isn't it
Disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything
We both have brains
We both have eyes (neither of us can see)
We both have pains
We both have eyes (neither of us can see)
One in the same
Two of a kind (neither of us can)
And neither of us can see
Neither Of Us Can See

Produced by the band themselves, the recording showcases a mature sound that emphasizes mood and atmosphere over aggression. It stands as a key example of their evolution during the late 2000s, reflecting a shift toward more introspective and experimental compositions while maintaining their core identity. The track remains a notable song in their discography, often cited by fans for its unique sonic landscape and emotional depth.
