Song Meaning of “Intro – Live at HQ, Los Angeles, CA – June/July 2011” by Incubus
This 2011 live version of the Incubus song “Intro”, encapsulates the raw energy and passion that the band brings to the stage as they begin every one of their live performances. Lyrically, the song is a call to united action and a call to arms to those who are ready to rise up and fight for what they believe in.
The band urges listeners to “close our eyes and take a deep breath in”, a reminder to calm our minds before embarking into a difficult situation. It is here where we must “take the first step and hope for the best” when we are courageously fighting for what we believe in. As we begin, we are reminded that “it’s alright to be scared” and that in life there will be times when we are unsure of which path to take. The message of the track speaks to relying on one another to “spread the fire and the word” for what we stand for.
The final chorus line “we will fight for what we believe in the most” brings a powerful message to those who are on the frontlines, often in risky situations. As the final notes ring out, we are reassured that the fight will continue, despite the fear and hardship that we may face on the journey.
