What song did you love until you found out what it was about? - Lemmy.World

Or maybe you still love it, but now you have a different perspective.

Semi-Charmed Life, by Third Eye Blind. Basically, it’s a song about doing meth… Spent almost twenty years just singing the chorus with absolutely no idea what the rest of the lyrics were. Now, it kinda feels weird, ngl.

I, as a child, did a music class presentation on “my favourite song of the year” on this little ditty.

Whoops!

Much of the time I can’t even make out the lyrics, so I listen to music the same way
I listen to music the exact same way. I will maybe pay attention to the chorus or catchy line, but a lot of lyrics are lost on me.
I think it’s fairly common to not always pay close attention to the lyrics. Most of the time, you hear a song on the radio, and you can’t always make out what it’s saying, but you’re still able to enjoy the music and the singing melody. Until you pay more attention or you seek out the lyrics, then you’re often surprised about what it’s saying, cause the lyrics weren’t the point when you used to listen to the song. It doesn’t mean that it’s world-changing or anything, but it just takes you by surprise.
I’m the same way, actually.

Woo woo! Auditory Processing Disorder!
Ok, uhhhh… you are saying here that difficulty understanding the words to music is an autism thing?
You’re not alone there, snoop had an album come out the year before and after that both sold as explicit but that album didn’t.
