Follow me down. Swallow it down.
A little bit of something instigating your frown.
The moon on the town, the blood on your gown.
You're always picturesque. Stomp the haunted mood in your crown.
I used to think about it then I...
Chose the word indulgence, now I...
Just need some more to stand my own.
Why I live this way? Who knows. Why I live this way? He knows.
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".
Oh oh oh oh oh. So once again the thought into my.
And visualize the blood as the life.
Is to bend the wheel of my own kind.
I wish you'd see the hope in my eye.
All in all sublime on this side.
Then again you'd have to leave this life... ....behind.
Why I live this way? Who knows. Why I live this way? He knows.
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".
Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B".

"Follow me down. Swallow it down." The first line indicates a "sinful path" to hell, as Christians would depict. The second has sexual connotations.
"I used to think about it then I... / Chose the word indulgence, now I..." Means he used to struggle, and saw it only as his own gratification. Even if Brandon, like myself, doesn't adhere to homophobic considerations, he could well consider them as part of a balanced argument.
"Why I live this way? Who knows. Why I live this way? He knows." Why do I feel these things? Why can't anyone figure it out? God is the only one who really knows, which leads to his struggle with the concept of damnation.
"Is this damnation? Or a beginning? I'll take "B"." He's decided it's not damnation. Or would like to hope so. B could stand for bisexual, which Brandon is alleged to be, some lyrics would suggest, and he described himself as on the Morning View Sessions DVD.
"And visualize the blood as the life.
Is to bend the wheel of my own kind.
I wish you'd see the hope in my eye.
All in all sublime on this side.
Then again you'd have to leave this life... ....behind."
He contemplates damnation while he tries to understand humankind. He wants to express he really doesn't want to be damned, he is not wicked. He wants to be himself. He knows to understand, he would have to die.
The sound quality on the mp3s of the demos is usually not very good, but they are definitely worth downloading.

For the meaning im not sure about the verses, but the chorus is fairly straight forward. This is one of my favorite incubus songs, dont know why they never put it on a album.
