my sister's eating paint chips again, maybe that's why she's insane...
I'm not so sure about anyone else...but I know I've noticed that when I turn on the news, 99% of what I see is utter crap. So and so was killed, so and so is in court, so and so got caught w/ crack, country a and country b are blowing each other to kingdom come, etc...
__________________But what's worse is that our society eats this crap right up...people seem to love it. Chalk it up to morbid fascinations I guess. I know that most people here think of Third Eye Blind as a waste of plastic that their cds are printed on. I, however, am a big fan. But please, let's not discuss how many times you heard Semi-Charmed Life and were almost driven to suicide as a result. They wrote a gem of a song called Slow Motion that is on their second album, Blue. Unfortunately the lyrics were cut from the album by their record company prior to Blue's release as they are a bit explicit . I think Stephen Jenkins did a wonderful job of slamming our media and society with these lyrics and I think it's pretty sad that these are the kinds of stories that people want to hear... Slow Motion mrs. jones taught me english but i think i just shot her son because 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 should have 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 got a little bit of blow we could both get off later, bathing in the afterglow two lines of coke got cut with drano 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, 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, wouldn't you? see my neighboor beating his wife because he hates his life there's an arc to his fist as he swings oh man, what a beautiful thing as death slides close to me, wont grow old to be a junkie wino creep hollywood glamourized my wrath i'm a young urban psychopath i incite murder for your entertainment cause i needed the money, whats your excuse? the jokes on you slow motion see me let go Thoughts, comments, concerns? ------------------ Rock 'N Roll is the sound of revenge. |

Another 3EB fan here! But I listen mostly to their debut album. Great lyrics, I agree.

So was this song released with different lyrics? I apologize for not knowing a damn thing about 3rd Eye Blind outside of Semi-Charmed Life, but these lyrics are amazingly good.

Why would people dislike 3EB? They have great lyrics and excellent melodies. They're one of my favorite bands.

They are an excellent band! I dont see whats wrong with them, I saw them play on their own once and they were great. I especially love the first album, and in particular, the last set of songs, including the Background, Motorcycle drive by, and the god of wine. Those songs are just really powerful, if more people heard them they would understand...
Slow motion is amazing, I agree. I dont have the second album, though. I think that its ridiculous they cut the lyrics! Because it has an actual message and isnt full of bubble-gum pop it should be cut? Thats a sad part of our society, I suppose. I have the real version, I got it from Napster, when it was still around. But, Im sure if you look on Kazaa, it will be very easy to find. |
