song name: "Adolescent Chemistry" by the Stockyard Stoics, a punk band from Brooklyn that I believe is now defunct. But they put on some pretty great shows and if you're generally into punk music, you should probably check them out
here.

Adolescent Chemistry
The day/time period the song reminds you of: I was around 17 years old at the time, around 2003. Still in high school, using cocaine, alcohol and LSD quite heavily and frequently. I would not recommend combining LSD and cocaine, ever. Cocaine makes any trip on acid dark and frightening and just dirties the experience.
Drug used: A terrible mixture of LSD, cocaine, marijuana, klonopin and alcohol.
Your memory that the song makes you think of, description of the time that this song was a 'soundtrack' of: Like many school days, my friend and drug buddy M came to my apartment in the morning after my parents left for work. We were supposed to be going to school but of course we didn't. Instead, we were planning on tripping on LSD and having a chill day. I was a coke fiend at the time so I couldn't help myself and decided to combine the cocaine with the acid. I also gave my buddy M his first line of coke which I felt incredibly guilty for, as he was a couple of years younger than I was so I felt like I was ruining his life or something. He ended up hating the coke which I am grateful for as it got me into lots of trouble and I regret it a lot.
Anyway, we dosed the acid. An hour later, we started really coming up hard. Then somewhere in there we smoked a bowl of marijuana. We were tripping rather hard at this point. I decided to do a line of coke in my infinite wisdom. The Stockyard Stoics record was playing in my CD player, as background music, but we were mostly ignoring it. The coke felt strange and dirty in my acid filled head. I then started having a bad trip, felt like I was dying and got the FEAR like crazy. So I decided to take some of my dad's klonopin and drink some of my mother's alcohol to calm the fuck down. According to M, the Stockyard Stoics CD long finished but I kept hearing the song in my head. It was one of the freakiest things I'd ever experienced. I laid down on the floor of my living room and asked M if he heard the song "Adolescent Chemistry" but it wasn't playing at all. I felt like I was dying and I couldn't listen to that CD for a long time.
But if you read the lyrics, they're quite relevant to my experience funnily enough.
