The song is about what a wreck his life has become, and it really is just so sad. I lost the love of my life to drugs and I'm still hurt by it. I don't think one can truly appreciate this song unless you've been here. Just like everyone else on here, I never new what the song was really about until a few years ago. He's so addicted at this point he doesn't believe in himself that he can be sober, and she's still somewhat in his life, but obviously, nothing is alright. She's got her jaws just locked now in smile He loves his girl so much, but can't get his mindset back to before he started meth.Įasy, he looks at pictures before his life went upside down and he just needs to get back to that point, but meth is so overwhelming, he just can't for the life of him. It's about how crystal has ruined his life, but he can't stop. Someplace back there, in the place we used to start She's got her jaws now locked down in a smileĪnd I want something else to get me through this life Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now Slides up around the belly, face down on the mattress Those little red panties they pass the test Those days you were wearing that velvet dress The velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive When I'm with you I feel like I could dieĪnd when the plane came in, she said she was crashing The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feelingĪnd that four right chords can make me cry How do I get myself back to the place where you said How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the dropĪnd then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-byeĪnd I wish I could get back there, someplace back thereĭoing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break I want something else to get me through this You can’t always believe what you hear.And I make you smile, like a drug for youĭo ever what you wanna do, coming over youĪnd I speak to you like the chorus to the verseĬhop another line like a coda with a curseĬome on like a freak show takes the stage This song shows us exactly why we have to be vigilant and observant to those in our lives, the world we live in, and what people and the media are trying to tell us. What they are flat-out trying to say is that drugs will mess you up! They are bad! Plain and simple! They alter your reality and change your perception of what is real, and what isn’t. 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 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

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.
