Didn't understand the lyrics until you were older:

Third Eye Blind: Blue

That CD is so fucked up in the content, but I loved it when it came out as a kid. Haha "Slow Motion" on the edited version has no lyrics, just instruments.

Quote :

"Ms. Jones taught me English, but I think I just shot her son Cause he owed me money, with a bullet in the chest you cannot run Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot I guess I didn't mean it But man you shoulda seen it His flesh explode Slow motion See me let go We tend to die young Slow motion See me let go What a brother knows Slow motion See me let go Now the cops will get me But girl, if you would let me I'll take your pants off I gotta a little bit of blow We could both get off Later bathing in the afterglow Two lines of coke I'd cut with Draino And her nose starts to bleed A most beautiful ruby red Slow motion See me let go We'll remember these days Slow motion See me let go Urban life decay's Slow motion See me let go And at home My sister's eating paint chips again Maybe that's why she's insane I shut the door to her moaning And I shoot smack in my veins And wouldn't you See my neighbor's beating his wife Because he hates his life There's an arc to his fist as he swings Oh man, what a beautiful thing And death slides close to me Won't grow old to be A junkie whine-o creep Hollywood glamourized my wrath I'm the young urban psyco path I encite murder for your entertainment Cause I needed the money What's your excuse? The joke's on you Slow motion See me let go (aaahh) Oh yeah Slow motion See me let go (aaahh) Ahhhh Slow motion See me let go (aaahh) Oooh"

1/8/2010 7:33:35 PM

alanis morrisette, ani difranco, sarah mclaughlin, fiona apple

1/8/2010 7:35:17 PM

seriously twoozles?

I understood what all of those Morrisette songs were about and I was 8.

1/8/2010 7:39:15 PM

I thought Boys of Summer was about The Sandlot

Don Henley fooled me for years

1/8/2010 7:40:10 PM

seriously Dentaldamn, i knew they were about sex but i didn't quite grasp the intensity

1/8/2010 7:40:59 PM

OH SHIT

1/8/2010 7:46:07 PM

yeah, im with twoozles are the morrisette thing

1/8/2010 7:47:39 PM

Oh man, the You Oughta Know song

1/8/2010 7:49:26 PM

were you thinking of me when you fucked her?

1/8/2010 7:49:43 PM

Slow Motion is a great song.

1/8/2010 7:50:49 PM

i was kind of surprised my mom let me own so many albums with the F word in it but i don't think she really knew much about the artists. but then when i wanted to see blink-182 when i was 14 she had my dad ask people at his office about it and he found out they played with socks on their dicks and i couldn't go

1/8/2010 7:50:58 PM

I only recently came to the realization that Ben Folds's Brick is about abortion. I think I was in college when that song came out, so I guess it doesn't really count. I'm just an idiot.

I definitely agree, that CD (un-edited, had to go out and buy it again later in life) is in my player right now in my car.

1/8/2010 8:03:31 PM

that song 'the freshmen' by the verve pipe was about abortion/suicide. it took me a few years to figure that one out.

1/8/2010 8:05:45 PM

lightning crashes.

lol

1/8/2010 8:06:18 PM

well I didn't say you had to be a kid when listening to it, I just was. Younger could be 2 years or 2 months.

1/8/2010 8:06:43 PM

just learned that sledgehammer is about sperm.

1/8/2010 8:07:37 PM

I'm about to experience some slow motion (purp + pharms ftw).

1/8/2010 8:09:19 PM

Slow Motion is the shit

as is Third Eye Blind

1/8/2010 8:09:39 PM

I was going to make a thread solely about Slow Motion but thought Tdubbers would laugh at me; now I feel STRONGLY about it!

PURP!

1/9/2010 1:31:53 PM

Color Me Badd--I Wanna Sex You Up. I love this song when it came out in 1991. I was 7

1/9/2010 1:51:41 PM

my brother played the entire Death Row greatest hits collection for me and that was a funny time. I only remember the cussing

I think I was like 9 or 10.

Ummm, I think that was the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

1/9/2010 2:36:34 PM

haha the Chili Peppers came right after Zeppelin (when I was 5, yes I listened to every Zeppelin record/tape when I was 5); I still listen to both to this day.

1/9/2010 2:42:49 PM

the 3eb song "10 days late" didn't click until i randomly heard it for the first time in years just a couple months ago.

1/9/2010 5:22:05 PM

1/9/2010 5:38:36 PM

I love 3EB but Stephan Jenkins is such a waste of talent.

1/9/2010 5:42:27 PM

Also Third Eye Blind, but Semi Charmed Life.

I didn't really even know what meth was.
