My interpretation is this is about him being torn apart from God because of an incident wherein his loved one dies. I know a lot of people are sick of songs being interpreted as related to religion but i think it's a bit obvious in this song: the lights came on fast lost in motorcrash gone in a flash unreal but you knew all along you laugh the light I sing the songs to watch you numb (His loved one dies, so fast. Gone in a flash unreal like he says, but he then says that YOU KNEW ALL ALONG. As always, God is interpreted as someone who knows almost everything, when people are born, when they die, etc etc. Then he proceeds to say "you laugh the light i sing the songs". It means that God is getting praises but Billy Corgan ends up singing the songs, since it's his way of expressing his sadness of the situation.) I saw you there you were on your way you held the rain and for the first time heaven seemed insane cause heaven is to blame for taking you away (He then exagerates that he saw God there, he was on his way, and he held the rain. Then he even comments that HEAVEN IS TO BLAME, FOR TAKING HIS LOVED ONE AWAY.) do you know the way that I can? do you know the way that I can't lose? do you know the things that I can? do you know the things that I can do? (Then he cries about the situation, stating that he's just human. That's why he asks these questions, especially the part where he asks "do you know the things that I can do?". this means that God knows he can't bring back people from the dead and that his loved one is lost forever) where is your heart? where is your heart gone to? tear me apart tear me apart from you you laugh the light I cry the wound in gray afternoons (this is the part where he asks God, "where is your heart? where is your heart gone to? Tear me apart from you which means that he starts doubting either the existence of God, or if God is truly a good God. Once again he says"you laugh the light I cry the wound". God get's the praises from people while he cries about the hurt it caused him. I saw you there you were on your way you held the rain and for the first time heaven seemed insane cause heaven is to blame for taking you away (once again same interpretation) the lights came to pass dead opera motorcrash gone in a flash unreal in nitrous overcast do you know the way that I can? do you know the way that I can't choose? do you know the things that I can? do you know the things that I can't lose? tear me apart tear me apart from you where is your heart? where has your heart run to? then this pretty much is just a repeat. He talks about the car crash again, and how he's just human, and how he's being torn apart from God because of what happened. I also would like to say that this album was made on a time wherein Billy Corgan's mother died, which could be the reason why he made the song. He could have felt terrible when his mother died that it caused him to question God. |

i would answer to the one who thinks that the video had nothing to do with the song. i think the video actually gave exactly the meaning of the song. on the video, the girl intentionally drops her shoe while she's on top of a roof, and is acting like she's about to commit suicide, then someone notices the shoe, gets it and then brings it to her which stops her. then they go somewhere and she starts kissing the man, and then the man ends up not wanting her and then she gets pissed and runs, then goes to the same routine of standing on a roof and drops her shoe again and the cycle goes on with her getting another man etc... i think it's similar to the meaning of the song that we do things intentionally but then lack the courage to man up for these decisions, thus the parts on the song "quick let's leave before the lights come on, cos then you won't have to see what you've done." the song also has parts wherein it shows doubts like "well this is a good idea, he wouldn't do it if it wasn't". it sounds like doubts, regrets etc.. in short this is about putting ourselves in these situations(like cheating) but then when you wake up in the morning, you act like oh my god i gotta run! im f*cked! that's why he accompanies the girl "I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?". which is same with the video, the girl puts herself in the situation by dropping a shoe, but then she acts all hurt and runs from what she did when she gets hurt and acts silly by acting like she's jumping from the roof |

i think is the closest interpretation. i would just like to add though that i think the girl could have been playing with his emotions which could have involved "crying" to him at times. if you listen to the song, the song ends with the sentence "and i hate that little game you call, CRYING..." the girl could have been playing him with all her dramas the he's gotten sick and confused of it thus the reason why "he hates that little game". |
