well i finally did it, i turned 18 six days ago so me and a few friends went to get tats. only two out of the four of us got one and i got the word REDEFINE on my forearm written in a font i cant really explain... this word has a lot of personal meaning to me because of the lyrics to the song by incubus. ill try and get a pic of it online soon, here are the lyrics:
Imagine your brain as a canister filled with ink yeah,
Now think of your body as the pen where the ink resides
Fuse the two;
KAPOW!
What are you know?
You're the humane magic marker, won't you please surprise my eyes?!
It's in your nature, you can paint whatever picture you like
No matter what Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight
So modify this third rock from the sun
By painting myriads of pictures with the colors of one
I'm sick of painting in black and white my pen is dry,
now I'm uptight
So sick of limiting myself to fit your definition
Picture the scene, where whatever you thought,
would, in the blink of an eye, manifest and become illustrated
You'd be sure man that every line drawn reflected a life that you loved
Not an existence that you hated
So, must we demonstrate that we can't get it straight?
We've painted a picture, now we're drowning in paint
Lets figure out what the fuck it's about
Before the picture we painted chews us up and spits us out
I'm sick of painting in black and white my pen is dry,
Now I'm uptight
So sick of limiting myself to fit your definition
Redefine
Imagine your brain as a canister filled with ink yeah,
