Semi-Charmed Life, by Third Eye Blind. Basically, it's a song about doing meth... Spent almost twenty years just singing the chorus with absolutely no idea what the rest of the lyrics were. Now, it kinda feels weird, ngl.

I didn't know it was about Crystal meth for a really long time because I only heard it on the radio for many many years and they only played a clean version where the phrase "Crystal Meth" is cut out in a way that's not really obvious it was edited so I just never understood the lyrics.

"The sky was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose..." didn't clue you in?

[–] nafzib 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope. That song came out when I was ten, so I had no clue it was about anything like that until probably a decade later.

Oh. Never mind, I'm old.
