About Make a Move

"Make a Move" is a single released by alternative rock band Incubus, released from the soundtrack to the film Stealth. The song utilizes a unique melodic structure in that its main guitar and bass riffs are in the key of E minor, while lead vocalist Brandon Boyd's melody is performed in the key of E major, with the notes cleverly placed to prevent the clashing minor third (G) and major third (G#) from occurring simultaneously.

I'm at the end of my report again
For those who won't do apathy 
You had the perfect opportunity 
But pled the fifth and walked away 

Say something 
Make us proud
Cast the first stone 
Say anything at all

Make a move 
For every one thing we're ignorant of
A thousand more things beat the maze
You saw the apple hanging on the tree 
But missed the orchard in your gaze 

Say something 
Make us proud
Cast the first stone 
Say anything at all

Make a move 
(hands on the eyes are the engines of demise)
Make a move

I'm cautious of who I would call a friend 
Who you aquaint is who you are 
The darkest hours are when we choose a side 
So make your pick and take a fall 

Say something 
Say anything at all 
Make a move 
(hands on the eyes are the engines of demise)
Make a move

Incubus

An incubus (nominal form constructed from the Latin verb, incubo, incubare, or "to lie upon") is a demon in male form who, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, as in the legend of Merlin. Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death. more »
