Incubus - Hilikus Lyrics
About a hundred years ago now,
thought I was left for dead.
Soliloquy, she was my...
A picture, a wake,
my metaphoric friend.
it taught me this from that and...
a picture, a wake, you're gonna be hilikus.
History has a tendency
to block yout the popular beliefs
about the leaders of the time,
so glisten with my syllables and
ponder the thought,
maybe they should have
had to dedicate more to it, go!
You've got to be,
You've got to be HILIKUS!
So I took a walk out side
with my new found friend and the knowledge imbibe.
I figured I'd find another
with the same attitude,
yes, then maybe I could talk
to someone other than myself!
The doors are swinging wide open,
a positive attitude and the ilk in my pocket
had a lot to do with my new found friend,
the hilikus.
History has a tendency
to block out the popular beliefs
about the leaders of the time,
so glisten with my syllables and
ponder the thought,
maybe they should have had to dedicate more to it, go!
You've got to be,
So good to be,
You've got to be
HILIKUS!

Incubus Hilikus Comments
my favorite incubus song
Fresh Funk done by Freaky Flies
First time i heard this i thought he was saying holocaust. Lol
Nobody was ready for this. 2018 i still think it sounds futuristic. This has to be the most unnoticed masterpiece ever, ever.
Same asf 💯🔥
wellDankGod yes!!
Friggin awesome album and Dirk Lance's bass is next level.
FUNKgus Amongus!
This is my jam
I'm so learning this on guitar.
I smoke a blunt and ended up hooked on this song. Incubus is dope af 🔥💯💯🔥
Old school Incubus is the love child of Music/Grassroots era 311 and the Chili Peppers
and Mr. Bungle
For sure, especially You Will Be a Hot Dancer. Groovy as fuck
I take that back. Especially, ESPECIALLY on Sink Beneath the Line.
I forgot to mention that Primus should definitely part of that love child. I mean look at Trouble in 421. Sounds right off of Seas of Cheese
resembles the chicken by pastorius
This really reminds me of Grassroots era 311
best era of 311
Matt Doyle
Primus, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, 311, Incubus, etc....were Funky as hell during the 1990’s. Truly blessed times for “Western” music, specifically American music.
One of my favorite all time albums and this isn't the typical music that I normally listen to.
Very underrated album.
They sound like primus
Omar Martinez Early incubus was the bastard child of the rhcp, Mr. Bungle, and Primus
Love this whole album this song is one of my fav
incubus should stick to funk
Max Bailey That's what i said.
@wellDankGod I agree funk fits them better imo
what is this if not funk
this bass line makes me want to do coke off a hookers ass
I dont even do coke....
Me too.
Hilikus = High Like Us
Incubus is like the love child of Faith No More and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's like Angel Dust and Blood Sugar Sex Magik had a kid.
+The Interstellar Cast let's also not forget Mike Patton would never have a baby with the Red Hot Willy Lickers.
yeah, funny. faith no more was beefing with rhcp. incubus an accident child
+Edogg Goodson right on
in the booklet they say they were trying to sound like Primus and Mr. Bungle. so you're close...
bungle sucks dick
Sounds so much flea
The lp version is definitely more organised than this version, still I like the live performance quality this one seems to possess
Although Brandon's singing is good, in the band's recent stuff it seems like the rest of the band band forgot how to play instruments...
this is sooooooooo good
and all of their music hold up amazingly even years later.
A lot of people think hilikus means 'high like us' but it is actually a word meaning crazy, so "You got to be hilikus" means you've got to be crazy.
the hilikus
High Like Us
The reason why RHCP keeps the hyped-atmosphere within crowds in the music is because of flea and chad, RHCP has changed through atleast 5 guitarists and they were still able to get people going effortlessly, Incubus did start with funk, but it all changed because they have a different style of approaching music, the fact that Ben Kenny Got involved with them after Dirk Lance left it means nothing. They still created organized sound influencing many souls.
i wouldn't say that incubus is gay now. have you seen just one really good band, that haven't changed it's style during the centuries? what they're doin' now isn't gay, it's just something completely different.
I love the old incubus songs as much as the new ones. so go on and listen to fungus amongus the next 20 years, but don't fuck around with people who are in the condition to change they're musical style. because that probably the heaviest and best part of making art.
This style of music is so much better than what it is now.
oh come on dude. yes okay...there is quite a bit funk left in their songs...but compare that to mother's milk or blood sugar sex magic
RHCP still keeps it funky, though. I have no idea what happened to these guys...
one person is pretty lame XD
@devilbeastie
Nope.
@Masterskorne ...rhcp, silverchair, incubus....there are a couple of bands that turned extraordinary rainbow gay these days. mabe that's the new santan's curse. OK - I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL AND GIVE YOU ROCKNROLL SUPERHERO POWERS! (in small letters: by "soul" I mean your dicks and balls! after three albums you will turn into spineless right said fred supergay chart whores and your dicks will fall off and go to hell). NO JOKE! actual victim: keith caputo (life of agony)
@musicfnatk92 ah welcome brother, its like hearing the beatles for the first time again so to speak
back when funk and bluesy touhness was the name of the game for incubus. their new stuff is kool too, but man if only they had songs like this or sink beneath the line nowadays...
Incubus were so much better with Dirk on the low-end. Badman!
haha as if someone disliked
COOL ASS SONG!!!!!!
So fucking cool!!!!
This song shows just how much talent and diversity incubus has, makes me an even bigger fan!
funky incubus FTW
listen to fungus amongus first song to last when you're really high...out of body experience right there.
@TheManicBassist I don't think its better, just different. Every album has had its own sound. Thats what makes Incubus such an amazing band.
The bassist is such a badass mother loving creature!
the guitar solo reminds me a bit of cliffs of dover. besides, this shit is hilikus!
jose, rape me
@lakai958 It's fun to improve over the guitar solo
this song makes me feel insignificant as a bassist -_-
Love this song! Get,get DOWN Fuck ya man! INCUBUS ROCKS.:P
this shit stanky as funk makes me want a funk the funk up woo yeah
hmm about 10^10000000x better than the incubus of present
uunnnnnnnhhh so good.
I would love nothing more than to be able to hear the Enjoy Incubus EP version... way more funk, better drum intro and overall lyrical sound. Better song hands down.
@Lechaton2113 What other version is there? a live one?
Similar to Deep Inside from Science...I love how every album they put out is completely different from the one before it. So much creativity
you say it's just like a song from another album then proceed to say it's all different....
@confucio9n No its actually a term for 'crazy' but its chosen for the obvious reasons
I think he means High like us!
nope this would be the last one mate. they should've put more on here, they definatly had more songs written, idk, maybe they didn't have the money to do another 1-3 songs
@PiKaNgNiNe High-Like-Us ...
I have a question. I'm tryin to look for some incubus albums. & came cross this. But everytime i find it its only 10 tracks. Is it suppose to be 10 or is there nother song after this.
