Song Meaning of “11AM – Live at HQ, Los Angeles, CA – June/July 2011” by Incubus
This song by Incubus starts off with a slow beat, reflecting the uneasiness that 11:00am can bring. The lyrics give us a glimpse into the reluctant, almost apologetic emotion of the singer as they prepare for a meeting or confrontation that appears unavoidable. The ambitious guitar solo in the middle of the piece gushes with emotion, reflecting that same feeling of urgency and apprehension at the thought of going through with something that might prove to be difficult. This song embodies the chorus, “It’s 11 o’clock and I’m feeling all out of sync”, as uncertainty is palpable through the entire composition. By the end of the song, however, we find a glimmer of hope in the strength to press on despite the looming challenge ahead. It is in this realization that the singer finds his inner self and is comforted by the knowledge that ultimately he will be capable of achieving his goal.
