| The Smashing Pumpkins – 1979 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Ok, i picked this song apart line by line last night. I might be completely wrong bu heres what i think it means- The main point of this song is not kids having fun, but growing up. "shakedown 1919", leave 1979, move on. "Cool kids never had the time", the cool kids didnt gro up because hey were to busy hanging out/groin to parties. "On a live... should meet", maybe going to a party? Or just hooking up, still not growing up. "With headlights pointed at the dawn" looking towards the future ? "We were... end to it all" - same thing as other people have said, good times would never end etc etc. "and u din't... zipper blues" - this one i couldnt rally figure out. Could be about clothes, mood, drugs, or sex. Either one you pick song still means the same thing. "and we don't... our bones.. earth below" - Not having a plan for the future. "double cross... the store" - Ok well this one im completely guessing on, double crossing the vacant/empty and the bored could mean that the speaker will bring excitement, in some way. "we feel... thousand guilts" - tempted to do wrong things? Land of a thousand guilts could also be hell. "faster than we... sound of hope" - life went by too fast, what they wished for didnt happen. "justine never knew the rules" - justine made bad decisions, "hung down.. the ghouls" - Life didnt turn out well for her because of the people she hung out with. "to see that we don't care to shake these zipper... into the earth below" - The speaker/his friends hasn't changed into and adult What i came up with when i forgot the whole song and just concentrated on the lines. Im only 15 so i might not know enough about music/english/billy corgan so any critisism is welcome ;) |
