Send "Follow" Ringtone to Cell

Look at you
With all your shiny
Toys for boys
It's all unnerving

Bold and new
But dark and spotty
The toys enjoy
The undeserving

Don't ask
Don't tell
Follow
Don't ask
Don't tell
Yeah

Fat the world
Then sink your teeth in
Cannibal and missionary
Toes are curled
My thanks uneven
When tales so tall
Are ordinary

Don't ask
Don't tell
Follow
Don't ask
Don't tell
Yeah

Don't ask
Don't tell
Follow
Don't ask
Don't tell
Yeah

    General Comment:I don't know a damn thing about Halo besides the fact that I got my ass kicked the only time I ever played it, but the song completely kicks ass.

    General Comment:*Quote*: "1st Movement of the Odessey is better" *Endquote*
    That is Follow, numbnuts, just as Everything In Ebb is the 4th Movement of the Odessey.

    This song is just pure Incubus. Freaky first few minutes of possible jamming then *BAM* it hits you with that whole Incubus sound.
    To me this song is just about dropping everything and doing something that you want, regardless of the consequences.

    General Comment:wow, i'm relieved that its about halo because this song had a much darker meaning for me before i learned that.
    it sounded to me like brandon was criticizing the scandals within the church, someone with religious authority abusing their power for unpleasant things. i thought the cannibal and the missionary were the same thing, he's a missionary so he has some sort of authority but he uses it for cannibalism (figuratively) and sinks his teeth in. plus the "dark and spiny toys for boys" didn't really help either. especially since they enjoy the undeserving.
    so now that i know its about halo its less disturbing, but i guess also less poetic. oh well, incubus rocks anyway. even though i dont agree with brandon on a lot of stuff they definitely make some kick ass music.

    General Comment:Follow is really just the first movement of a lager song called the Odyssey. That incubus did for halo 2 sound track it is about 27 minutes long of pure amazing ness. I would think Brandon has lyrics for all of them but that’s just me.

    General Comment:eyesuckink, you're so damn right!!!!!!!!
    I actually was soooo disappointed when I heard about in incubus being fans of halo because this game ought to be totally against their attitude and if you compare it to 'pistola' e.g. you'll find out that I'm right!
