Comment on When you actually pay attention to the lyrics of the song you're listening:

Semi Charmed Kind of Life by Third Eye Blind.
At first when I really heard the part about snorting crystal meth I thought I must have downloaded some weird cover like the ones you used to sometimes get from Limewire.

Lmao, it was while reading this comment that I realized it wasn’t Semi-Charred Kind of Life, a mistake that ironically helped me see that it was darker than it seemed.
It makes the line “I want something else to get me through this semi-charred kinda life” pretty obvious that he has negative feelings about it and from that I could guess that there was some kind of pain between the lines, though younger me thought maybe infidelity or some kind of mania (which I guess isn’t too far off the mark).
That said, despite the hidden tone, that song always makes me feel good. The overt tone is just so upbeat!
