Incubus - Oil And Water Lyrics






You and I are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying trying
Ohhhh, to mix it up.
We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened souls.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I've been dying, dying, dying
Ohh, Ohh, Oh to let them go.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe that everything would get better.
We've been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let's just call it what it is!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!

    My longtime girlfriend and I listened to this album alot right before my family and I moved to another state 1000 miles away where I never saw her again. We kept in touch for a little bit reminiscing and she'd quote verses from these songs to make me happy before we eventually drifted apart. Life goes on.

  27. b.... ....

    I love, love this song! and love this band. I only hope I can go in one of their tours at some point in my life.

  28. P.... ....

    Honestly, one of my favorite songs is "Echo". The only complaint I have is that it needed to be longer. Beautiful song.

    P.... ....

    Phloyd. i agree

    P.... ....

    That's my favorite too 👍

  29. H.... ....

    two people who acknowledge they have differences but make the relationship work anyways. love it

    H.... ....

    The lyrics at the end heavily imply they should just break up; but I suppose you can still come to a different conclusion.

    H.... ....

    KrisJM1234 Let's just call it! 🎶

  30. J.... R....

    call it for what it is...

  31. A.... B....

    its good

  32. J.... R....

    I love Incubus

    J.... R....

    Julian Rivers me too! Since s.c.i.e.n.c.e.

  33. D.... M....

    At risk of sounding pretentious, I think it's artful that a break-up song has a more triumphant sound to it.

    D.... M....

    This is my anthem while going through my divorce and YES TRIUMPHANT!! Not pretentious at all, songs like this need to happen more!

    D.... M....

    Pretentious or not, I agree.

    D.... M....

    Although I had broken up with something a little less tangible than a person when I first fell in love with this song.

    D.... M....

    Dustin Mitchell I think it's triumphant because ...he accepted it and is cool with it..we feel better when we accept things and just..move on?

    D.... M....

    Love freedom are triumphant :) 🙏🙌❤️

  34. A.... ....

    Most people relate this to love. I relate to my own light and dark sides within myself.

    A.... ....

    That's awesome changes the song so much!

  35. L.... ....

    amazing.

  36. J.... T....

    I know this song all too well. 

  37. R.... G....

    One song that I've yet to find a decent cover of.

  38. G.... ....

    Good song

  39. R.... C....

    ¡Fuck Yeah! Arriba Perú

  40. A.... ....

    Peru is waiting for Incubus !

  41. J.... ....

    the dude is my cousin i was just trolling you queer lol..

  42. l.... ....

    Pretty much what I'm feeling right now. Damn good song even if you can't relate to it.

  43. E.... P....

    You completely missed his/her point. XD

  44. E.... P....

    I'm actually just discovering newer than 'Make Yourself' Incubus myself. I gotta say, I'm loving what I'm hearing.

  45. T.... A....

    lol, so you're one of those weak, clingy people who need validation to feel important...

  46. s.... C....

    You and I are like oil and water
    And we've been trying, trying, trying
    Ohhhhh, to mix it up


    when he sings this it gives me chills his voice is simply amazing and beautiful.

  47. P.... P....

    i was to young, but this music makes part of my life... but now.. i'm 18 and this music is just about MY SITUATION with one girl... never this music make so sense now..

  48. J.... A....

    Your comment is easily the best "take the number of people who disliked this and make a clever generalization about all of them" that I've seen yet on YouTube.

  49. M.... A....

    this band really grew up through their music. one of the best bands, and they deserve all the credit they get. they're one of the few that deserve all the fame they have.

  50. A.... C....

    man stoner rockers are composers they have always been composers

  51. t.... ....

    I really didn't like this first time. What happened I don't know

  52. J.... V....

    Beautiful song!

  53. R.... M....

    Beautiful song, the voice projects through the music. That's what I like.

  54. s.... ....

    very well put

  55. j.... ....

    are you deaf?

  56. L.... R....

    Still sucks. Sorry guys.

  57. n.... ....

    Genius.

  58. p.... ....

    "I've been smiling / with anchors on my shoulders / and I've been dying/dying/dying to let them go.." Unbelievable lyrics in this amazing song, one of their top yet most underrated songs, in my opinion..

  59. D.... ....

    cant forget to download this track!

  60. D.... M....

    Still amamazing

  61. A.... C....

    well what you need is an emulsifying agent. . .. . . .noob

  62. w.... ....

    How brilliant is the drumming pattern on this track?!

  63. N.... ....

    you'll be fine, you probably haven't dated anyone serious since then, so you dwell on this person. You'll be fine, get out date, have fun. Take things slow

  64. c.... m....

    It wasn't four years, but 2 years is enough to get some sort of idea how you feel. It sucks. Really bad.

    Hope everything is working out for you!!

  65. c.... m....

    I cry every time I listen to this damn song. I love it to death, but god it makes me miss my ex more than anything...

  66. E.... �....

    man this album is so amazing :D

  67. K.... R....

    that album is cunt i remember some fucked up days back at the time :D

  68. J.... C....

    los amo

  69. M.... ....

    Me and my ex :p she doesn't seem to realize she's oil and I'm water.

  70. J.... ....

    Listen to the band "Audiobakery" if you're bored and want some new music. You'll like. I think.

  71. n.... ....

    that part always gives me goosebumps. XD

  72. T.... ....

    my ex and i got matching tattos 4 years ago for this song. she got water, I got oil. I think we both knew it would never last but being young and detached from reality we fought for years to mix it up. guarnteed nobody can comprehend the significance this song had on my life... we are now divorced and going through a custody battle. trust your instincts and embrace the fate your instincts are telling you.

    T.... ....

    Tyler- I for one, can comprehend. I'm going through a very similar situation right now. It's the hardest thing I've ever gone through...I relate to this song very well...almost like it was written for us.

  73. S.... W....

    I'm the 480,000

  74. I.... D....

    Probably one of my... hell. They definitely are one of my favorite bands.

  75. L.... S....

    one guy I know or knew kept calling us 'oil and water.' how ironic to see a song about it. how true

  88. T.... E....

    23 people have never been in a relationship.

  89. G.... W....

    @AzureKnight461 my gf was actually just saying if they released a new album itd be a hit, but i think theyre dying out before they got as big as they deserved.

  90. G.... W....

    @AzureKnight461 thats because you became a fan of the old incubus, so anything out of the ordinary they do, might not seem the same ya know

  91. G.... W....

    @AustinTheLittle its made of different charms, like a bracelet, except its a grenade

  92. S.... ....

    This is the most amazing song ever written.
