You can hear the beat, hear the happy melody, see the vaguely paradise-esque kind of video, and be completely lost as to what they are trying to get across. This is another classic example of not examining what is going on with the whole song. I know that I didn’t even realize that was the line until starting this blog last week, and this is a song I grew up hearing.Įven the video depicts a fairly happy and nonchalant kind of vibe. Many radio stations found the line “ Doing crystal meth will life you up until you break,” to be a bit too much for their audiences and have censored over that line. And we all were sort of into hip hop, and so it has a hip-hop flow over it.” You know, it’s sort of a bright, shiny drug. “When I wrote ‘Semi-Charmed Life,’ the guitar riff was intended to have this sort of bright duh-nuhnuh-nunt, this shiny thing, because that was a feeling of speed. When band member Stephen Jenkins was on the show Reverb, the band intentionally put an otherwise upbeat and cheerful song with the very dark, and very serious lyrics. She’s got her jaws now locked down in a smile Still it’s all that I want to do, just a little now Those days you were wearing that velvet dress When I’m with you I feel like I could die
The place where I fell asleep inside you?Īnd the four right chords can make me cry I come on like a freak show takes the stage The proof is all here, right before your very eyes in the lyrics which you will find below.Īnd I speak to you like the chorus to the verseĬhop another line like a coda with a curse Little do most people know, if they are not paying attention to the lyrics, or have only heard the song on the radio, this song is all about the singer’s….wait for it….addiction to crystal meth! Yes, my friends.
It is one of the songs that Third Eye Blind is more well-known for and remains to be one of many people’s favorite songs by the band. A relatively upbeat and pop-y tune that was a hit in the ’90s. Helllllo! It has been awhile since I last posted anything, so here’s a new song for you to ponder over.
