Lyrics:
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, 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 want to 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 say
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Goodbye
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips up into 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 kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Goodbye
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
But 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
So slide up 'round the belly face down on the mattress
And I want something else
To get me through this life, baby
I want something else
Not listening when you say
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips up into my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
In the place, we used to start our lives
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
(I want something else)
*******************
With hits like “Semi-Charmed Life”, “Jumper”, “How’s It Going To Be” and more, Third Eye Blind’s fresh take on alternative rock has delighted listeners everywhere since 1993. In recent years the band’s popularity has only grown with their most recent tour-Summer Gods-breaking their previous attendance records. During this 2019 tour the band donated a portion of the revenue from each ticket sold to off-set their carbon footprint in partnership with ClimeCo.
Of their latest full album, Screamer, lead singer Stephan Jenkins said: “My current mood resonates with rebellion, energy, courage, and risk.” Adding that “I seek to combine it with a percussive level of musical immediacy in this collection of songs to cultivate collective idealism and an unapologetic aspiration towards humanistic values.”

This is the most upbeat song about drug addiction, ever.
Hands down!
Drugs and sex
Ben S hes literally talking about taking a bump and then snorting another bump into his nose.
Lol. I hope you aren't serious
Ben S How did you know? Oh yeah I recognize you from the meeting we held last month. You're the president of that kind of people I see.
I didn't fully listen to the song until I was an adult xD most upbeat drug addiction song ever!
the fact that Disney put this as the trailer song for "Tigger's movie" without realizing it's a song about drug addiction is hilarious
Wasn't Tigger an allegory for drug addiction?
EDIT: nvm it was ADHD I'm a dumbass
This was also used for the trailer of M.O.D.O.K.
@Quel Tipo Sul Tubo It was disappointing finding out this is about meth. Gotta admit though, that is pretty funny.
@@inspectorlunge3887 if it wasn't for meth this song wouldn't have been created.
@@UglyStru they disabled the comments for that trailer lol I wonder why
Dear God. Please take me back to the 90's. I was a kid and both my parents were still alive. I'd do anything to go back and enjoy just how special my childhood was.
thats rough buddy
The past has a purpose as well as the present and the future. Take the present as a gift. Your parents wanted you to have a flourishing life, so use their memory as the motivation to appreciate life. And maybe try to give someone else a bit of what your parents gave you.
You can never go back...but we're all here together reminiscing of better days. Do you still have any of your old Jncos? lol!
Same !!! My simpatie
I was only 1 when this song came out. But RIP to your parents.
This song is from my kid's generation. I loved it then and I still love it today and I am 72 years old. Good music is good music no matter how old you are!
This song takes me back to ‘97. Twelve years old, living in a small town, riding my bike everywhere, my CD walkman, basketball after school, sleep overs at Greg’s house playing Resident Evil, going to the movies on my own every weekend. Happiest time of my life.
🤘😝🤘
@@etthelost love your profile photo
@@hallie8252 thanks!! Me too!
This, all of it.
Man, I know they don't care or wouldn't understand, but kids nowadays don't know what they missed out on. I can relate to exactly what you described because I'm the same age and have been there.
Ironically, I'm addicted to this song.
Ironically I’m addicted to crystal meth
The sky was gold it was rose I was taking sips of it with my nose
Modok too
*I've been grinding my teeth to this for years. They're sharp af.*
Here ya
This song is what the 90s felt like.
Exactly, a shiny veneer over a world that's still pretty shit. This song is about meth addiction bro
@@Cobalt985 you're pathetic.
Things might've still been shitty, but it doesn't compare to now. At least in the 90s, there was still more good than bad. @@Cobalt985
Doesn’t change the fact that this song was played on the radio over and over again and this melody is the theme song playing in the back of their heads.
For those of you who only know them for the singles I encourage you to check out that full first album. It’s absolutely great all the way through.
God of Wine is heartbreaking
lates 90's and early 2000's were a beautiful years to be young.
And reminds us that we are growing old
1995-2002 born people had the most fun i think
This was such an amazing time
and old 59 and love it
@@xpertnerdy6114 not anyone from 1989 to 1994?? Haha the 2000s had the best music when I was in elementary school 👏👏👏
The 90s and early 2000's absolutely didn't have good music. May I suggest listening to Nina Simone?
My homies left. Now I can listen to my white people music.
yo don’t be afraid to show what u like to the homies lol if they reject u they aren’t real homies bro
DO DO DO DO DO DO DOOO DO DO DO DO DO DO DOOOOOO
@@cait3 yessirrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lmaoo
lulz
I am 24 and this song came out just before I was born, proof that amazing music lives on beyond different eras :’)
This song came out 3 years before I discovered meth. It was 10 years before I even knew what this song was really about. Now after 19 years of usage, I'm knocking on 5 years sober. Still love this song. Strength to everyone else battling addiction! 🙌🏽
Congrats on sobriety my friend
Good for u man
Good job my friend.. Funny how I'm older & you listen to this song & love it. Only today do i realize it's about Meth. Sometimes you just never know......
Congrats!
Felicidades!!
I literally looked up “do do do dodododo song” and I managed to find this. I’m happy.
omg me too lmfao
that skill is unsurpassable, though 🤔
Are you the REAL Sal????
lol, web searches are so intelligent now, even if you don't know the title of the song if you know few lines of the song you can find it :)
Sal Vulcano hello I watch impractical jokers I see this song is about giving up meth
I was a crystal meth addict for 6 years, and after relapse after relapse and finally jail and rehab I'm almost 1 year sober. I can truly listen to this song and appreciate its bittersweet message.
Thanks for all of the positive comments and likes on my post. It's now 2-7-24 and I just celebrated my 2 year sober anniversary on January 17th of this year. WE DO RECOVER! Blessings to all still struggling with addiction, you can do this!!
Keep it up!
i love you man
Keep going I hope everything is good. I been free from opiates from close to 8 years and for at least the first year or so I couldn’t even step food in a public restroom room without feeling sick
Stay strong .👍😀
Congrats . Bloody hard but worth it. All the best 👍
Who’s here in 2024 for the nostalgia 🙋🏽♂️

2/21/2024 here! Still listening to this song and have since it came out and I was 14 in 1997.
METH
I still love this song to this day 👍
I'm here for the red panties
1997 seems so good. Lets go back.
Rose tinted glasses... or cheerleader goggles 😂
The last great year.
No, the 90s were really that good@@squareeyes4574
it never left we left
Forever, if I could 🙁 I'd Groundhog Day that year for the rest of my life if at all possible.
The song for every 42 year old thats actually still 19 inside.
my mum turns 62 when i turn 18, and she still rocks out to this song like shes 20
I’m 60 and I still love it!

This is one of the most upbeat songs with surprisingly dark content...
That's meth for ya.
Read the lyrics ! Brilliantly Twisted !
Stephan Jenkins has a BA in English so that explains the amazing lyricism :) Read the lyrics to his other songs too, I love TEB bc their lyrics aren't generic
Slow Motion is a really beautiful song all about really ugly things
thats the 3EB magic
If not thee most
Can we turn back time? I miss the 90-00's
Me too
This is the best time machine for now, appreciate such a thing
you could just do meth and have sex
Yes!!!! Adulthood sucks!
I'll be 66 in May so I'm making this a 90s Sunday
Man, this was one of the most played songs of the entire decade. This thing was always on the radio in the late 90's.
Back when life was really good
Before the world went to crap
Must have been nice
@@almighty5839 Well, it was a semi-charmed kind of life.
🤣
This has “90’s” written all over it.
Better than 2000-now
Maybe because it was released in 1997.
Ummm...yeah... It's crazy how a 90's song sounds like a 90s song. Mind blowing even.
@TCT By all means, elaborate or allow him to speak for himself, even though that isn't needed for this conversation. "This has “90’s” written all over it." is pretty self-explanatory. He is saying that this song depicts the 90s perfectly; it's written all over it (also known as a figure of speech). What's funny is that you're the one that can't follow along, and even worse, you thought it was a roast. Maybe I should have said "sounds/looks" to be 100% precise for your honorable. Then again, you're the same idiot that looked at his comment and felt like saying "Also crystal meth." By all means, continue your mission to think you're educating others on what the song is about. lol On the bright side, I'm the only idiot that even bothered to respond to you, so you're welcome. You got your chance to talk with someone. Speaking of being confidently wrong though...
@TCT lmao
If we live through the 1990’s and bring hits from 1990’s into 2024 Nostalgia
God, we were so lucky to be teens in the 90s 💗🔥
Damn this song is catchy as hell!
*looks up lyrics*
Oh..
Ha ha ha
Catchy definitely! And a little addictive too 😂
hehehe
Catchiest meth song ever!
Check out alex meltons version “if blink 182 made semi charmed life” it’s even better.
Im in recovery from Crystal meth. This song really speaks to me. It makes me cry. Keeps me happy. Reminds me of the high..
Most of all it keeps me sober
Fair play mate hope your well
That's great! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations 😁
Keep flying Mr Swan. 🙂
I sugest you forget the high and avoid things that remind you of the high because it'll make you crave using again ... But good luck mate wish you the best ,youcan do it andstay strong
You can get through this!
Born and partly raised in SF this song and band means so much!! I’ll never forget the lyrics ❤
The 90’s was such a vibe
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of NEVER LET YOU GO by Third Eye Blind and 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 2 of the most iconic bands of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out & stay safe in the '020s.
Do you listen to the lyrics in music or are you like most who don't. Take another listen.
WE JUST WERE LIVING IT IT'S JUST LIFE WE NEVER USE WORDS LIKE THAT NOW THERE JUST MEMORIES OF THE GREAT RADIO OF MY 6TH GRADE
A lot of people keep saying this song is super upbeat to be talking about something so depressing, but it’s actually very very fitting for it to be “happy sounding” because when you’re on meth even if things are super shitty it’ll still feel fine and dandy and with the almost rapping for the verses are also fitting because people on meth tend to talk fast and have racing thoughts like this song is actually really fitting for the topic in my opinion lol
Your opinion comes from experience I guess 😂
@@sunnygawande5283 hell yeah I was probably high when I wrote it 😂😅 sober now at leasr
And that's why you keep going. Headstrong, my friend
My mom smoked meth with me when she was pregnant with me and I can confirm this is probably where my ADHD comes from just saying
@@dustyspectacles8284 That's why I told myself when I joined the army if you're going to be dume then you got to be tough kind of like the song by the smut peddlers
These guys sure had a great run. The 90s had some great tunes from all genres
joshporter08 they're not done yet.. for example: They recently released their music videos for _Company of Strangers_ and _Weightless_ from their 2016 album, _We Are Drugs_
joshporter08 I just saw them in Atlanta
Yeah but who cares about their new shit
until they he kicked out the original gutairist: )
Not for all of them dude. Thrash metal almost died during the 90's.
We are going to need great songs like this to get us all through the life we are experiencing today.
Clean for about 3 years.
2021 crew??
Ah 1997... High school, MTV, flannel and jeans... Good Lord 2020.
Dont forget the Playstation, that shit was Awesome!
That’s sounds awesome
best decade of my young self
I was thinking about MTV, my so called life!!!!!
Amazing
Back when i was younger my local radio station was taking requests, I called in and requested Cocaine by Eric Clapton. The guy refused and told me that their station doesn't support drug use. So I said play Third Eye Blind Semi-Charmed Life and he accepted that request and played it. Funny, I never called him out for being so naive but I still think about it.
That's awesome 👌 both great songs, and people shouldn't be afraid to talk about drug addiction. Needs to be normalized so folks can get the help and love they need
Snowblind gets played. Same deal.
So I was a radio DJ. We really do only have accepted playlists. But we had the version of Bodies from DWTS and it said fuck and no one noticed 😂
I hate dj's they have such a high an mighty attitude, better than everyone cuz they control the airwaves. Piss on em.
Kevin White 😂🤣😂🤣 again I say, we don’t control what goes on their airwaves. Which DJ hurt you? 😂🤣
I'm in the back seat of a ford taurus with my older sister driving to six flags... what a fun time growing up as we did... coming of age in the 1990s was pretty terrific... fortunate
Of course 1999 im 14 years old and i want something else to help me get through this loved it what happened to the world
Once the "do do do's" get in your head, they'll never leave.
sounds like the run and go - twenty one pilots
Do do do do dodo do
@@abenovyerlan9265 that's what i'm saying dude :D
Facts 😭
Just like meth addiction
This came out the spring of 97 played all summer I was in high school had my very first boyfriend & no cell phones , we walked to meet in the middle of the night. My bf looked like this guy too. I remember stopping & thinking it's never going to be this good again. That was the only time I ever did that . To say this Is the best time of my life. Take me back to the 90s. Before 9/11 before cell phones, social media & life was so fun & easy. I'm aware I sound like my parents talking about the 70s. I only hope when my kids are teens they can feel this way about their youth.
My thoughts exactly. We were that rare mini-generation that saw the world before and after cellphones/social media and everything they brought.
♥️
Natalie Panaro Stack: Well stated. It really was a great time.
I can agree. I want to go back to early 2000’a at least. And I was born in ‘02! It was just so much more fun and simpler back then without all the social media everywhere
Sadly kids these days will never know these kind of simple times. I can’t imagine in 20 years people longing for those great Face tattooed rappers of their youth
This makes me cry, it reminds me of my childhood
Who else thought this was a love song as a teenager?
My mom used to play this song in the car while taking me to preschool. I had no idea that the lyrics were so dark.
Same and im not 100% sure how I knew it was about sex and drugs at the age of 7...i just read the lyrics and figured it out 😬🤔😬
That's like how I loved Pumped Up Kicks when I was a little younger until I looked up the lyrics and meaning on the song a few years lager
Not really that dark, just another song about drugs
Your mum probably had no idea either 😂
Yeah, when my brother and I were kids we used to turn on the radio and jump on the bed to the music, and this is one of the songs I clearly remember jumping to. How awkward to know now that it's about meth!
This is the happiest song about meth that exists
I thought heroin?
Better than Silverdust?
lol
J Thomas 1:25 says "Smiling in the pictures you would take - Doing crystal meth"
Blister in the Sun is a good one haha
We didn’t know how good we had it….. we didn’t know that we were living in the PEAK of social society. Before social media ruined it.
2024 anyone ? ❤
I’m listening to Third Eye Blind Semi-Charmed Life early June 2024

Mid June 2024
The pure genius of this song still isn't fully appreciated: Every breakdown is different, different tones, instrumentation, dynamics, even what sounds like repetitive choruses have subtle nuances missed by most....none of this was accidental either. TEB's ability to play the same lick so many different ways is what really gives this song life. It's always familiar while always surprising.
That sounds like a physics dissertation of the history of music. WE JUST WANNA ROCK!!! #DweebsLife 😜
Yeah, this whole album is really really solid from musical standpoint and of course very enjoyable with some great lyrics, too
kevin cadogan is a G
Couldn't of put it better myself, the song is always so refreshing.
@@zs5948 Came to say that Keving Cadogan was the genius here... glad someone beat me to it. :)
This song is the anthem of my childhood. The 90's was the best decade of all humanity history.
Hard to disagree
Yes it sure was when people where so in tuned with humanity.
1985-2020 was the best era of human existence so far. I can only hope that i live long enough to see the current bad times come to an end
Not if you lived in the Balkans or China, but as an American I agree
its the anthem of the 90s in general. Looking back on it almost 30 years later, nothing captures the sound of the 90s like this song.
My official anthem of the 1990s. 90s now and forever. Always in my heart.
This is the perfect song to sum up the 90s
Bittersweet symphony too..
Oh yes! @@rustyshackleford9588

Such a boring unoriginal comment. Come up with your own ideas instead of copying everybody else

it's a great album, yes. i dont think there's ANY songs i skip. yeah, that's special for sure. there are others, of course...but this is probably top 5 albums of the 90's, yes... in terms of replayability.... i still listen to this album at work.
@@MicrowaveWalrus Man, you've got to listen to Kevin Cadogan's Wunderfoot album. It's absolutely awesome!
@@tjellis1479 Throwing Copper doesnt get enough love man
The 90s should go down in history as having collectively the best music ever made. I mean Rock, Alternative, Ska, Rap, Trance, House and almost every other genre from the 90s were on another level.

Everything was corny, colorful, over exposed and ...just amazing in the 90s.
I'm 64 now, didn't discover 90's music till I met and married a musician, computer geek. He turned me on to music beyond the 70's and 80's. Thank you, love of my life "SlowLee".

I am glad I watched "Wild Things" (1998) lately and it featured this song I had almost forgot about.
It's a great tune! : )
Saw them last night (5/18/2024) at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, CT. Great show! Will definitely try to catch them on their 2024 tour.
This was one of the best entire debut albums ever
I WANT SOMETHIN ELSE TO GET ME THROUGH THIS..... QUARANTINE KIND OF LIFE
Hahahahahaha
Play with the meat like the rest of us.
Baybaaay
Dude
Looks like were losing a whole year
Can anyone else in their early 30's relate to hearing this song on the radio while riding the school bus in high school, jamming out to it, and have no idea what the song was even about? 😂🙋
I mean, even in my late 30s, I never became some addict of wever. But I won't lie. I have dabbled in some things, that started in my early twenties. I thought most ppl have 🧐. ... like, you're prob lucky if you're not an addict. Bc I know damn well drug use is pretty damn high in the us. But in my late teens? I prob just picked up on context. But never, even to this day, bothered to look that in depth into it. Conveniently, I've never made meth a steady habit. Smoked & snorted it once. Smoking it was a way the better route. Bc the other way, had me up for f'n days & nights, hallucinating. But those were also my last time. 🤷🏻♀️ Not to redirect my bs, but it's kinda funny/sad/naive to hear certain kids talk about things now tho ... & I thought I gave ppl too much credit. .. drugs don't discriminate is all I hafta say. Like, I can't even taint them like that. But welcome to the real world... Good luck w/ that!!!
This song was a big hit back in 1997. I just wish i became as wealthy as paris hilton.
Kind of reminds me of a 90s take a walk on the wild side
I was in middle school, still living in the sticks and the radio saved my sanity. I'm glad I was a kid in the 80s-90s the radio always had 90s alternative and the better music from the 80s.
This song never cease to draw a bright wide smile on my face! What a blast time we had. Few last years of 90's were best times to live. Early 2000 is equally fun... to hit the milennium with such a notch. A time dearly missed, oh the memories remain
This is the Best Alternative Rock Song of All Time.
It's been 21 years and this song never gets old!!
I can’t fucking believe it’s been over 20 years. Wtf!
Tony Germano how u know?
Oh I know..it's painful that the whole 90's is now more than 20 years ago. I was born in 1990..and I have memory of 90's from 1995. So all these songs,1997 and Mtv..I miss those days so much..especially after my father passed away a month ago..it was one of his favourite decade.
21 years later and the song has aged well!
@@tonygermano8400 in what ways is Stephen an asshole?
Got such a nostalgic feel to this classic song.
"Goodbyee"
•Lochy•: where is the lyrics
They don't make songs like this anymore unfortunately.
yugi kun: this song is very old
"I want something else, to get me through this, Semi-Charmed Kind of Life!" One of the best albums of the 90's.
lol it's about meth
I'm from Brazil and in 2000, I was 18 years old, when I heard this song for the first time.
There is nothing more comforting than remembering the good times of youth and that whole routine of discovering life. These songs are triggers in my mind that bring back great memories! 😍
agree with you
idk why, but theres a certain charm to 90s pop rock songs like this
Am I the only one who is in a 90s music marathon? :D
Me too!! Blink 182, ChumbaWumba, Marcy Playground, Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, THird-Eye Blind, Etc.
Same! Sixpence None the Richer, Tal Bachman, Toad the Wet Sprocket!
Nope I'm going across the board
im in it right now
Once a week
When music takes you back in time! 90’s vibes
Loves it 🥰
indeed
Multilayered bursts of sound creating the hookiest song of the 90s. It’s addictive.
really miss this era of music
My husband use to sing this to me all the time. I can still see him singing it to me. 😢
I’m so sorry 😢
Don't worry he's waiting for you. GBU
@@robertnekoranec5668No offense to him, but he can wait a little while. She's got a long, full life to live. ❤
You still got time RIP
Oh baby, I'll sing it to you anytime! I want something else.............
I’m glad I grew up with third eye, Green Day, smashing pumpkins, everclear, blink 182, semisonic and all the great of the 90’s. I’m born in the 80’s btw. Cheers to all from the 80’s. 🍺 good ol’ times ainnit?
1990s❤❤❤
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of NEVER LET YOU GO by Third Eye Blind and 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 2 of the most iconic bands of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out & stay safe in the '020s.
This song is *addictive*
I miss this year so much.
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, 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
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, 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 myth, will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I 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 all right, all right
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, h ead made of 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 all right, all right
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
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, 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, in the place we used to start
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
(I want something else) doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
.
Never noticed this version cuts the bridge
ngl, I just searched for this song by searching dodododo song lol
Ow
Third Eye Blind Semi-Charmed Life is one of my favorite song
Straight from what I found on Wikipedia:
"Semi-Charmed Life" was written solely by frontman Stephan Jenkins. Jenkins intended to write a song that acted as a San Francisco response to Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side", with the "doo, doo, doot" chants present throughout the song being directly inspired by Reed's song. In regards to the style of the song, Jenkins explained that it is meant to reflect changes that were occurring in the San Francisco music scene, particularly a growing interest in hip-hop. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Jenkins said that the concept of the song was developed through his observations of friends using crystal meth at a Primus concert. The juxtaposition of the music and lyrical content was intentional, as Jenkins intended to illustrate the "bright, shiny feeling" one gets when using crystal meth. However, Jenkins maintains that the meaning of the song more broadly relates to changing periods in one's life. He further explained the meaning of the song:
"It’s about living in the Lower Haight [in San Francisco] and all the machinations that were going on at a time where my friend group was finally out of the [educational] institutions that we’d been in our whole lives - because we’d all been in school since kindergarten and everybody now was in their early 20s and out of college. And then probably underneath that, also the weight of coming to terms with the kind of agony that your life is always about to change and never be reliable." - Stephen Jenkins.
Jenkins was initially against the decision to release "Semi-Charmed Life" as the lead single from Third Eye Blind, as he did not believe that it was representative of the work as a whole. Guitarist Kevin Cadogan was concerned with the explicit lyrical content of the song, as he had fears that radio stations would refuse to play the song. Elektra Records suggested that the band release "Semi-Charmed Life" as their debut single as opposed to "Losing a Whole Year", then prompting the release of several radio edits of the song. Upon the song's success, Jenkins explained that he felt most listeners misinterpreted the song to simply be a "happy summertime jam".
Wao , great research! Kudos !!
This is still my anthem.
It’s amazing how many mainstream outlets still play this song like it’s a happy song. Crystal meth
1998 - 8th grade.
This song played on the radio every day, literally every day, while I rode the school bus to and from school.
It's now permanently etched in my memory as a result. Thankfully it's a good song.
Well, it might sound like a happy, easy-going song,
but it's actually about doing drugs etc…
which is kinda fucked up… when you pay attention to the lyrics...
Kev27RS. You are drugs kev.
SwankBanker.
No it's a bad song, it's about drugs. just kidding.
1998 I was 6 years old. I got this CD in 1999. I still have it.
At least you were lucky to have decent music being played on your school bus. My bus driver made us listen to country music to and from school. lol.
36 now, this was one of the most popular songs during my junior high year. Damn I feel old.
Really.i was in my early 20's and bought my own place that year
Dude I was in college
I didn’t exist when this song was released
Another good one is Chumbawamba Tubthumping. CZcams that one, no issues with blocked from country BS after many years still. I used to play that & Semi-Charmed as background music while cleaning or organizing at home. I should do it again soon. Motivation Ovation...
For real lol 34 I know how you feel.
What a banger
I miss the 90s.
Me too friend
Moi ! également.
Me too 😢
Highschool, first kiss, first concert, first crowdsurf, seen them about 15 times over the years, nostalgia right here...
The memories...
Blink 182
Mer Feraine the world being great.
Tyuo
Mer Feraine I know
Too many and not all of them good but yeah me too!
Still hits me to the core of the great 90s songs and especially Third Eye Blind
You can go back to the 90’s but there’s no one there
This song hits different 24 years later now that I’ve been through it
The ending 🤧
Same
I love meth!
Amen.
W LEGEND
90's sound of music
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt
It does
@@kenpratt8649???ummmmmmmm............
.
Headed back to the 90’s, you guys need anything?
Rest in Peace, Matthew Perry. The laughter you have brought us will echo through eternity!
@KRisGT97 indeed
What does Matthew Perry have to do with this?
Meth
Matt Perry died because of acute affects of ketamine not meth lol. He had coronary artery disease.
Who ?
I swear Third Eye Blind always takes me back to a much more simple time. Love these guys
90s rock is my shit.
Yeah the 20th century.
The real MTV generation... I really miss that time... The great 90's...
80s MTV: nothing but music videos
90s MTV: lots of music with some shows like Beavis and butthead and jackass
Early 2000s MTV: lot less music lot more shows
Today's MTV: no music whatsoever just a bunch of cheesy reality shows
There's something oddly unique and incredible about 1997. I honestly don't know what it was about that year, but it was a fucking awesome time to be alive.
16 in 97
When humanity was at its peak my friend.
@@shortsman4249nah 96 was peak, before Tupac, Biggie mother Teresa and Princess Dianna died. Although 97 was the year we all peace in our hearts so you could be right. Mmm bop came out and will smith men in black was the best thing going. Spice girls was going crazy too 😂💙😔
