Semi-Charmed Life
A back-masked version of the phrase indicating the use of crystal meth boosts you up till you break were aired on radio stations in an altered version of the song, so radio aficionados of 1990s were likely unaware that the joyful Third Eye Blind hymn talks about a romantic couple binging on crystal meth. Lead vocalist Stephen Jenkins stated, the symbolic meanings were meticulously arranged in the lyrics, and the music depicts the brilliant, glittering sensation you get while you’re high.

American Girl
We apologize, fans of urban legends. The death of a student from University of Florida was not the inspiration for Tom Petty’s 1977 song. Even though the second line of the song refers to a girl who is without company on the balcony and who could sense the automobiles move by out on 441 (a freeway passing near the University of Florida campus in Gainesville), Petty has frequently rejected the misconception. What could have inspired the song?
