Interesting facts and trivia about Adolescents. By Songfacts®.

This is the first single from American rock band Incubus' seventh album If Not Now, When?. It was the group's first release for two years, their previous single being their 2009 cover of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" from their compilation album, Monuments and Melodies.

Lyrically the track finds Brandon Boyd singing about feeling overwhelmed and out of bounds as adolescents tend to do, "Out of sight, out of mind," he croons. "We're out of time."

Boyd took to the band's official website to share some thoughts about the song: "It begins with Michael's unmistakable and inimitable guitar work and rolls its way into a kind of drunken waltz. Creeping its way into the idea that we are collectively just about to reach our cultural teenage years. It does seem like we've been around forever. Us, I mean. People. Culture. But all it takes is a sojourn into Earth's biological record to realize that WE are quite new! And the transitions at play in our complex little game are akin to the struggles that an adolescent might endure."
