“Absolution Calling” is the first single released off of the first of Incubus' two EPs to be released in 2015, Trust Fall (Side A).
The song seems to be about reaching Transcendence. Transcendental meditation is something that Incubus front-man Brandon Boyd has been known to support.

[Verse 1]
It’s like an intuition, or a feeling in the air
An intangible impression that’s always everywhere
You bit into the apple, laid down your sword and shield
(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smiles)
Then spun round like a gyre in the unified field
(Inside, your elegant guide, an arrow in flight, a million miles)
[Chorus]
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
“Are you there, or not?”
[Verse 2]
It’s an open invitation, come see the sights of sages
We’ve been a pride of lions, so afraid to leave our cages
Don’t fret over the pieces that smolder in the sun
(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smiles)
Cause nothing can be broken when everything is one
(Inside, your elegant guide, an arrow in flight, a million miles)
[Chorus]
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
“Are you there, or not?”
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
“Are you there, or not?”
You bit into the apple, laid down your sword and shield
(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smiles)
Then spun round like a gyre in the unified field
(Inside, your elegant guide, an arrow in flight, a million miles)
[Chorus]
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
“Are you there, or not?”
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
“Are you there?"
