Third Eye Blind, ‘Semi-Charmed Life’ – Disturbing Songs People Love
Third Eye Blind wrote their breakthrough hit 'Semi-Charmed Life' years before the drug crystal meth became a national scourge (and made AMC's 'Breaking Bad' a national treasure), but singer Stephen Jenkins' lyrics about being hooked to the terribly addictive drug were no less prescient in the '90s. Written as a West Coast response to Lou Reed's 'Take a Walk on the Wild Side,' 'Life' became a smash, topping the Modern Rock Tracks chart and peaking at No. 4 on the Top 40.
