Lyrics for Semi-Charmed Life as interpreted by flyswatter

Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics
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, 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
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games they play

She said I want something else
To get me through this semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say good-bye

The sky it 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
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
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 alright, alright

And hen 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
Slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress
One
And now you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now
Feel myself with 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 now locked down in smile
But nothing is alright, alright

I want something else
To get me through this life
Baby, I want something else
Not listening when you say good-bye

they edited it out, apparently coming down off of a meth binge is just to offensive for listneners. the song is about crystal meth, plain and simple. i love the line "she has her jaws locked down in a smile, but nothing is alright" i love this song, favorite song of all time

I believe they took it out because the song was too long for radio play, not because of content..

Now that I'm older I'm really suprised that this was such a popular radio hit...

Obviously a pretty graphic song about the upsides and downsides of doing crystal meth.

Does anyone know exactly what "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" means? Probably just a drug reference, I guess, coming down not so gently from a high, but I just love that line. In the city we tripped on th urge to feel alive... I dunno...

when this song came out i was alot younger and never understood it. i still loved it. for all i knew it was about love, and maybe some homosexual reference in it was all the bad i got out of it. i knew it said crystal meth in it, but he cud have just been mentioning it. then as i got older i thought this song was about about drugs. he did it, liked it and maybe even became a junkie. it messed his life up, and now hes going thru the process of realizing that he cant ever go back to how his life was before he did the drugs. hes also contemplating whether he shud do w/e drug he did, again, since he cant go back and it was good.

Wow, i love this song. its just another great song that just so happens to talk about drugs. i used to sing this when i was like, seven. loved it then, love it now. funny how i had no idea what any of it meant but still i sang along. what fun. one of my friends said that her favorite part of the song was "how do i get back there to the place where i fell asleep inside you". its so funny how i just agreed without knowing what it all meant...i really just liked the way it sounded...its an awesome summer song for just sitting around and acting stupid, or for getting high.

"Chop another line like a coda with a curse"
all about snorting crystal... a coda is a musical term that has you repeat.


"The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose"
good crystal is pink (rose) in color

good song had to listen alot before i really listened and realized it was all about meth.

I love this song. If you've ever done meth, you'll know what he's talking about in almost every line.

I would sing it when I was a kid, and didn't know what it meant. Years later I come back and hear it, and suddenly understand. This song always reminds me of the times when I did meth, and I really relate.

Crystal meth? Where are you getting that from? The song is obviously about waffles.

I too listened to this song when I was younger and only recently even thought about the lyrics. After using meth, it becomes very obvious that he knows what he is talking about. He describes it exactly and it is a very well-written song.

It's funny how they take a song that's clearly about drugs and oral sex and wrap it up in such a pretty package so that the meaning goes virtually unnoticed to the casual listener.

yeah, it is pretty funny this song was so main stream.

Now you hold me
And we're broken
Still its all that I want to do

The lyrics are amazing.

thequeenisdead - good comment, i remember reading somewhere that the original intention of the song was to make it easy to listen to, push it for main-stream so that the subject would get greater exposure...

I sang this song over and over when I was younger and it came up on my playlist so i thought i'd check out the lyrics... Yeah.. pretty sure that I just found out it was about meth.. who knew? I figured it have some kinda deep meaning.. but, now that I know it's just about drugs and getting head.. kinda ruins it for me...

still fun to sing though.. he he
