This song is a very cleverly written and performed song. It's such an upbeat song, which is why it was a huge radio hit, but the lyrics are about addiction to meth and chasing a high. It's sort of representative of a drug addict - typically they try to hide behind smiles and jokes, but deep inside there's pain and issues.

[@TheColdrush22]

Really is an incredible song. It is so unfairly maligned.

[@gabeitches2654]

DOIN' CRYSTAL METH WILL LIFT YOU UP UNTIL YOU BREAK, IT WON'T STOP

[@Clowncentral101]

“Crystal meth makes you feel bright and shiny” -Stephan Jenkins

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

yup. Methamphetamine not only transverses the blood-brain barrier faster than most chemicals known to man, but is also a MASSIVE Dopamine creator (your happy brain juice). It also affects the reward center of the brain within seconds of using. It literally "can" be the greatest feeling for some users that they will ever feel. This is why it's so addictive, because how do you just STOP using the one thing that's made you feel like you know what God & Heaven feel like? People that suffer from Neurodivergent disorders like ADHD make up the majority of addicts, since their disease literally deprives the brain of Dopamine (in a roundabout sort of way. In ADHD, your brain produces Dopamine, it's just that the Dopamine literally gets "lost" on it's way to the proper areas in the brain that it needs to get to...ironically). So in essence, a lot of meth addicts are just undiagnosed/untreated neurodivergents that are self-medicating.

[@johnandersonii]

It's a cleverly disguised, very sad song. Which in itself is a metaphor.

[@aaronpeddicord4175]

"And the four right chords can make me cry" - This has always been one of my favorite lyrics.

Yea to this day they are one of my fav artists because of how consistent they are with great songs and how they are still making music. They just came out with a new album in September

[@FizzledDreams11]

I just went and started listening to the album bc it’s so amazing and never gets old!! I also love all their other songs but my favorite is deep inside of you

[@fulsomekitten2585]

The whole album centers around this couple's addiction to each other, drugs and alcohol, as well as how often they both try to quit. There's suicide, overdoses, moments of sobriety followed by heartbreaking relapse. It's absolutely brilliant how the album is really one long tragic story.

[@tool26]

Happiest dark drug song ever - Listen to their song "The God of Wine" (yes my name is from that) - its so dark and melodic...this band's records/cds are great - really deserve just listening to them in full. Edit - their song "slow motion" was to come out right after columbine, and happened to be about similar stuff, so it was put on this CD as an instrumental - its CRAZY emotional with the lyrics, you can find it on KZbin with the full lyrics. Edit 2 - here is slow motion w lyrics - gut wrencing kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnrFcpyDoJxkeNU

Ahh... this song brings back so many memories. Love and Drugs of a tainted youth. Its about doing crystal meth with a girl. The part that was reversed (and mouth covered) was "Crystal Meth" and its a highly toxic but true love relationship that would never work but still means a lot I'm glad you guys did this song. Also, love y'all's shirts today. Much Luv from Central Florida

[@richard_n]

This song is so well written, one of my favorites from the time period. It's about drug addiction and they intentionally made the music upbeat to counteract the depressing reality of drug use. The video you were watching intentionally censored the crystal meth part.

[@jobryan191]

That's probably the best poetry in the whole of rock. And all the catchy Blink-182ness is just the icing on the cake!

I died when she said it reminds her of "Boy Meets World". Yes, there is a very Disney Channel vibe to this song...it's got an upbeat, care-free, and innocent sound to it.

[@mismismism]

I loved this song as a kid and I was shook when I grew up and found out it was about meth. A lot of 90's songs were about dark or nasty stuff and sounded super happy. This one fit right in with songs like The Macarena and Mmmbop that don't sound like they're about something messed up.

[@eddiemoney1093]

'The background' 'motorcycle drive-by' and 'god of war' are a... different vibe and they're all amazing songs. Stephen Jenkins is a deep, clever lyricist.

This song is extremely dark, but Stephen Jenkins was smart enough to give it that pop music vibe and basically got it played despite the lyrical content.

Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics - Third Eye Blind Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo… I’m packed and I’m holding I’m smiling, she’s living, she’s golden She lives for me, says she lives for me Ovation, her own motivation She comes round and she goes down on me And I make her smile, like a drug for you Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you Keep on smiling, what we go through One stop to the rhythm that divides you And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse Chop another line like a coda with a curse Come on like a freak show takes the stage We give them the games we play, she said… I want something else to get me through this Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby I want something else, I’m not listening when you say good-bye Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo… The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break It won’t stop, I won’t come down I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again, then I bumped again I said… How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you How do I get myself back to the place where you said… I want something else to get me through this Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby I want something else, I’m not listening when you say good-bye I believe in the sand beneath my toes The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling I believe in the faith that grows And the four right chords can make me cry When I’m with you I feel like I could die And that would be alright, alright And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing The velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive Now I’m struggling to survive, Those days you were wearing that velvet dress You’re the priestess, I must confess Those little red panties they pass the test Slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress one And you hold me, and we’re broken Still it’s all that I wanna do, just a little now Feel myself, heading off the ground I’m scared, I’m not coming down No, no And I won’t run for my life She’s got her jaws now locked down in a smile But nothing is alright, alright And I want something else to get me through this life Baby, I want something else Not listening when you say Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo… The sky was gold, it was rose (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo…) I was taking sips of it through my nose (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo…) And I wish I could get back there (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo…) Someplace back there, in the place we used to start (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo…) I want something else (Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo…)

Happy, upbeat, all-american crystal meth addiction vibe mmmh :D Loved this tune in 1997 when I was 13, and it still rips. Great reaction guys!

You guys have to do "Jumper" It was their biggest hit and a top 10 of the 90s.
