Suprised noone has said this one but im glad as its one of my favourite songs and while this song is actually about meth I relate it to my heroin/opiate use. Its a pretty popular song actually and most people dont realise its about drugs until they read the lyrics.
Third Eye Blind- Semi-Charmed Life
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living
She's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me ovation, she got her own motivation
She comes 'round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's 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 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..."
Doot (x24)
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place 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, she 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 could 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're 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
Slides up around the belly
Face down on the matress
One, and you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do
Just a little now
I feel myself heavy on 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 just locked now in a smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this
Life...baby, baby
I want something else
Not listening when you say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
Doo (x24)
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
In the place we used to sta-a-a-a-rt
I Also listen to hardstyle The_Student so a lot of that stuff makes me think of MDMA or meth but its not so much the lyrics but the music that gets me(going to Defon.1 Sydney 2012 fuck yeah 4th year in a row!!!
) The Prophet, Toneshifters, Donkey Rollers, Showtek all the best Aussie and Dutch DJ's. Not so much into the Hardcore/Gabber stuff though.
I associate psytrance with psychedelics as im sure most people do, most of Shpongle's stuff I have listened to on acid so I guess you could say I have little flashbacks when I listen to Shpongle if I havent listened to it in awhile. I have had some amazingly beautiful experiences while listening to Divine Moments of Truth especially but other Shpongle songs with LSD, 2C-I, 2C-T-7, DOC and various combinations of those.
I have also had some very deep, introspective trips while listening to TOOL but im sure this is not for everyone. I could see someone that didnt like metal or the heavier stuff freaking out if they listened to TOOL on a psychedelic drug but I love my heavy music. I have been a big TOOL fan for years so I tried listening to the 10 000 days album and a few other songs(from Aenima etc) on LSD and because most of their songs are between 5-15 minutes long and are very proggressive(build up, plateau, come down) they make for very good meditation sessions. I certainly wasnt thinking sweet, happy thoughts but I certainly had some complex and intruiging visuals and worked through a lot of the darker issues in my head. I think the guys in TOOL or at least Maynard has taken a lot of Psychedelics, probably LSD/Mushrooms and DMT, I think he's used a lot of heroin/opiates too which makes sense as his music is good to listen to on heroin as well, perfect actually, just right not too much.
Im sure theres many more songs but cant think right now, I listen to so much electronic music and most of it makes me think of drugs but also other things. Dance music and drugs go together, so go figure
twice in a row now I've been too slack to make it happen. Ah well, always next year!
