Singers: Third Eye Blind Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics from Third Eye Blind (I want something else) Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics Detailsĭate of Release the song: June 17, 1997 She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now So slide up 'round the belly face down on the mattress one Those little red panties, they pass the test Those days you were wearing that velvet dress 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 the four right chords can make me cry To the place where I fell asleep inside you? Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said With a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the dropĪnd then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep stock In the third verse, the girl is crashing from her high, so she sleeps with him in exchange for drugs.She's living, she's golden, she lives for meĭo ever what you want to 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 stageĪnd I wish I could get back there, some place back thereĭoing crystal meth will lift you up until you break Then he's saying that he wants to go back to the time when they first started getting high together. The whole second verse before "how do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you" is about getting high. So his girl is saying that she wants something more in their relationship than just having sex and getting high together (I want something else to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life), but he's too high to change for her so she'll stay (I'm not listening when you say goodbye). The chorus is saying that the semi charmed life is the bittersweetness of being a drug addict. Now I'll explain it as best I can verse by verse. "When the plane came in she said she was crashing." crashing is coming down from a high.
So that's the whole, "And a bump for the dropĪnd then I bumped up I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again And then I bumped again" When you bump, you take small amounts of the drug to keep up your high. "The sky it was gold, it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose"Ĭrystal meth is rose coloured, and you snort it. Okay, First I'll explain the drug references. well,hope I helped some! this site is cool:) I like how this song is happy and sunny, like a trip on meth, but the lyrics tell a dark and depressing story, as does a life long addiction to the drug. For a few hours they are in ecstacy, but he knows that once it is over, she will leave him once again and he will be left alone to cope with his deficiencies. He sees his girlfriend later on and they have sex as they are still very attracted to each other even though they now lead different lives. When he is talking about the sand beneath his toes, the four chords that make him cry and such, he is missing his girlfriend and his life before his addiction but he realizes it is too late. The girlfriend, however, decides she has had enough of the 'semi charmed life' they are living and leaves him to steep deeper in his addictions-which describe the verses after the first chorus his life on meth. In the first part before the chorus, they are experimenting with drugs together, getting kinky, and the whole shabang and both of them are just having a fun time. So, I've heard this song and loved it since I was a little girl but only recently just listened to the lyrics and realized that the song is about how crystal meth is affecting his life with his girlfriend.
