As so much thought goes into each Third Eye Blind song, the same process has befallen me when trying to rank their top 13. What exactly constitutes a good song? Much, by the looks of things. I 'm finished completed this list, I realize how Stephan Jenkins must feel when I've been following songs in according with which I believe to contain the best of the following: hooks, lyrics and musical composition. he completes an album! Enjoy reading darlings!
13) Another Life
However out of the Vein may mostly focus on Stephan Jenkins' relationship with actress Charlize Theron, this track, hidden away at the end of the album, shows him in a different light - his life after the breakup. compositional masterpiece, with Tony shredding his guitar to level "Kevin Cadogan would be proud of. It really does mark a fitting close to the bands 3rd album and almost a hidden track, it controlled acclaim as being the best song on the record .
Best lyric - time goes by and I realize, that I'm not thinking again be the same, but life comes & # 39; round again, quick wits and all curious all Caught up in what you say, and makes me grab the time before it slips away.
12) I Want You
The beginning of 'The big four' on self-titled, I Want You presents itself as a gem smacked right in the 3 / 4s of the album. It's like experimental sound makes it appear like no other sen 3EB has ever really produced and lyrically, it may well be be up there due to the nature of its subject. Jean Kings allows us. us to connect with this feeling in this genius track.
Best lyric - The village church yard is filled with bones Weeping in the grave, The silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus could not save, You want to know how deep my soul goes, Deeper than bones.
11) How & # 39; s It Going To Be
A true beauty. How it's going to be explores the emotions of someone who is in a relationship that is destined to fail. Everyone has fallen out with someone they & # 39; ve been infatuated with, and in this song Jenkins & # 39; explores the true roots to these breaks. How begins by wondering & # 39; s it going to be, & # 39; in many situations and then in the end realizing that life would be better than the the person What a rank. What a song.
Best lyric - Wanna get myself back in again, The soft dive of oblivion, I want to taste the salt of your skin, The soft dive of oblivion, oblivion.
Ten) Slow Motion
Now, despite the controversial nature has deteriorated many of the enjoyment of this song, I see the structure and this song to be absolutely genius and lyrically like no other song I & # 39; m aware of. Jenkins portraits himself as a drug crazed That Holy Wood shows these these human wrongs as & # 39; cool & # 39; things to do s do, the first three verses of this song, publicizing and infatuating these crimes. , which he completely disagrees with.
Best lyric - Hollywood glamorized my wrath, I & # 39; m a young urban psychopath, I incite murder for your entertainment, & # 39; s your excuse? The jokes on you.
9) Say It
Moving from slow acoustic, to soft ballad, to hard rock as it reaches its climax. It shows much The whole song stems from a conversation with a girl he was in a relationship with - one we can assume to be Charlize Theron (& # 39; you should go Emotionally superb. Oh yeah and that solo from Kryz could have the best damn thing I & # 39; ve ever heard. back to that actress & # 39; Brave from Jenkins, but sometimes brave is good.
Best lyric - Nothing you write back to that actress, Or the days you lived on a mattress when everything was new, So live inside a curse or make a gift to the universe, And let it go, I miss seeing you at the show.
8) God Of Wine
I think the best way to let me describe this song is by handing over to its writer, Stephan Jenkins. & # 39; God of Wine & # 39; takes things from the cellular level, where it says & # 39; And soon cells give way. & # 39; And then also it says, & # 39; Every glamorous sunrise throws the planets out of line. "The universe is expanding and it & # 39; s crumbling. The universe is mortal. It 's disappearing. Everything that we have, everything that we live in is pointless and crumbling. And some people are born with an innate understanding of that. They have this sort of And this is the melancholy that they find themselves in. they & # 39; sa song about those people. And it & # 39; s basically a story about how we turn back to the Irish theme. You turn to drink to escape that condition. In the end of this song, talking about the God of Wine, the Bacchanalian, that that lets you down.
Best lyric - She takes a drink and then she waits, The alcohol it permeates, And soon the the cell giving way, And cancels out the day.
7) Darkness
He gets past and the depression with someone who is so down and depressed with life, he gets past the point of depression. He sees no way back in However this may seem dim, when you are seem dim, when you are feeling low, it is the perfect track to hear, to help you relate with your Instrumentally, it & # 39; s experimentally gorgeous, with rifts played by Cadogan that equal equal to you best feeling this way, and that something we all go go through. during time with 3 EB.
Best lyric - And the world darkens around me, Strange friends all surround me, New ideas in my head start to burn, Trust no one is the one thing that I learned.
6) Get Me Out Of Here
He produces honesty that He produces honesty that He produces honesty that He produces honesty that he produces hypnotic feelings on his best songs on Dopamine and maybe the best songs on Dopamine and maybe the best songs on Dopamine and maybe the best Third Eye Blind have produced since Blue. Jenkins reveals his anxiety before performing shows describing the stage as a & # 39; sa bad thing - but actually genius as it is a good song, but somehow comes out as a better song, due to its inventive nature. The way it builds up and crashes down repeatedly and sends you on an emotional thrill ride and the results are stunning.
Best lyric - Call the tune, We & # 39; re waiting up for you, Yeah they for you, Is everything alright? And can you stand, the audience commands you to stand up for the band, You & # 39; re a creature of the night.
Five) Wounded
Jenkins exclaims that sexually abuse is disgusting and needs to be stopped in this sinfully abused and the tenant the singer voices for the abuser, and how people should not allow them themselves to be pushed around anymore. The song is a proper rock out jam - and live it really kicks off all 3EB concerts, with them more often than not playing it as one of the first songs at gigs.
Best lyric - Back down the bully to the back of the bus, & # 39; Cause it & # 39; s time for them to be scared of us, Til & # 39; re yelling how we & # 39; re living & # 39 39; cause you got the ball, then you rock on, baby, rock on, you rock on, on and on.
Four) Something In You
The definitive Third Eye Blind song. Whilst Dopamine may have underwhelmed many fans, to me it show me why I stuck with them so long. Because of songs like this. Songs that are worth listening to over and over until you really get what they mean An amazing ballad about getting the girl you want and trying your best to stick with her. Its incredible. Go You will not regret it.
Best lyric - When she lets herself go, she & # 39; s like no one you & # 39; s like no one you & # 39; l I ever know. It was true then what I said to you a long time ago, We got room to grow, We got room to grow, And I & # 39; ll take you in no matter what your chaos brings, There 's something in you I believe in.
3) Motorcycle Drive By

2) The Red Summer Sun
An extremely underrated Third Eye Blind song not only by the fans. This song shows off everything that Third Eye Blind is meant to be - inventive, experimental, lyrically fantastic and have a sound like no other band. Jenkins & # 39 with sticks to his strengths, which is any great musician can show off with just how good they are, by using his falsetto absolutely brilliant to exclaim how he wants to be famous, shouting that he wants to & # 39; walk with the mighty & # 39; in a vocal only really produc. Its really as good as 3 EB gets in a rock perspective ... but they are more than just a rock band ...
Best lyric - It 's a long time, to walk with the mighty, I & # 39; m gonna walk with the mighty, Let me go, let me go on my own
1) The Background
That feeling of than feeling that happened, but sadness because it can not happen again. This is everything The Background gives to me. It sent to shivers down my spine each time I hear it and me, it causes my eyes to well up. While I can not reveal what it means to me, (as it would take away some some Very few songs can allow you to to have a feeling of pure sorrow about that one person we miss more than anything. It to haunting nature throws me back and forward, which makes it the most stunning list of all Third Eye Blind 's catalog of songs. Absolute perfection in a song.
Best lyric - The plans I Make still have you in the, Cause you come swimmin & I 'm looking into your words like I always used to do, the words they use so lightly, I only feel for you, I only know because I carry you around, In the background.
