Those lyrics are all wrong.... it goes Thanks, Lord, but I don't need any more poor advice, poor advice. Caught in a cannon with a one way ticket. Four riders in a town with one horse. I've wagered a sure thing against what was behind the first door. Stack the chips, let it ride. Out of sight out of mind. It's fool proof and it won't do to make safe bets while I'm toeing the line Thanks, Lord, but I don't need any more poor advice, poor advice.(X2) I had a lock on a dirty little secret. A raging bull who's fixed to fall down I've been waiting at ringside my whole life but I'm still swinging on. I've got debts piling high. I've got addictions, ex-wives. But I've stayed true, so I thank you for bearing witness while I waste my fucking life. I need to pay the judge to pay the judge to pay the judge, now. I need to tip the scales some sort of bribery, I'm not waiting this out. I need to pay the judge to pay the judge to pay the judge, now. I need to grease a palm some sort of certainty, I'm sick of waiting this out. I should have learned a more noble craft. Out of the library into the lab. And will machine gunners please step forth? "Will machine gunners please step forth?"*** There's only room on this rescue boat for butchers and bakers and men with hope. And will machine gunners please step forth? "Will machine gunners please step forth?"*** Thanks, Lord, but I don't need any more poor advice, poor advice. (X2) Ok so im pretty sure its about religion holding you back from living your life the way you want because of the religions rules. And so hes saying in the beginning hes done everything right. wagering a sure trip to heaven by doing good. And hes says it wont do. To play it safe while hes wanting to live his life on his terms. And the 2nd verse is him saying that hes stayed true to being faithful while problems have befallen him and so he thanks god for watching over him while hes done nothing to remember but play it safe. Or in his words while I wasted my fucking life. Thanks god for wasting my time. Then the pay the judge part is bribing god or whoever decides who goes to heaven and hell so he can live the life he wants and not care and still get into heaven. Hes tired of waiting out his one chance at life on the sidelines. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Soothe Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about heroin addiction and letting it go or wanting to let it go. The band had a keyboard player overdose from Heroin around this time with the drummer also using. "Jonathan Melvoin, the touring keyboardist for the Smashing Pumpkins. On July 11, 1996, Melvoin and the Smashing Pumpkins drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin were injecting heroin and drinking alcohol. It is always dangerous to mix alcohol and drugs. Often, the fatal overdosing occurs only because the drugs were mixed with another drug or alcohol. Late that night, Melvoin collapsed. Chamberlain could have helped, but he fell unconscious as well. When Chamberlain woke up early on July 12, he and the band’s security manager tried to revive Melvoin. They were unsuccessful. When the ambulance arrived, he was pronounced dead on arrival. After all of this, Chamberlin decided to go to rehab for his drug problem." So Ill interpret each part for you... I feel one of the most important but overlooked words is again after hungry. He wants it clear to the audience that hes hungry AGAIN. Hes craving again. Hes hungry for something better again. Hes in a really bad spot AGAIN! And its wearing him down. He cant take it. The life of constantly wanting. always wanting more... more drugs, more money, more happiness, more of all he doesn't have. so he wants to quit Hungry, hungry, again - I have many meanings for this. Hes hungry craving the drugs. Hungry, hungry, again - maybe hes starved by the drug. Its starving him of all life. hence hes hungry... When will it start to sway - When will this addiction turn for the better or worse? When will it start to almost break you - When will i start to lose myself in it and ruin my life? Hungry, hungry, again - Also hes hungry cause hes empty inside. And wants to feel more happy and alive Hungry, hungry, again - Hes hungry for a different life, Hungry for a change. Just hungry AKA wanting. I'll miss you - He doesn't want to stop hes afraid of life w/o his love but nonetheless he quits anyway And I dont wish you luck - He hates it with a passion though and wishes it a rough existence. And I forgive you - But he forgives the drug and himself and whatever bad may have came or been done on H And i don't wish you away, away, away - Again hes afraid to let go of it. Its a very scary thing quitting It'll almost break you - This is a warning to those who may get on h or know someone who is. That this Almost take you - drug will take everything you have and are and destroy it and change everything forever Almost break you - You wont know the person you have become and w/o help it will kill you. Or if you make Almost break you up - it out of the addiction it basically "almost broke you, almost took you" I also am not 100% sure if its hungry or hung me. Im 90% its hungry but heres an interpretation for hung me which in my opinion is the only other possible 2 words it could be. Hung me, Hung me again - This drug addiction has strung up the noose. he keeps hanging myself... as in Hung me, Hung me again - bad situation after bad situation. Hes killing himself over and over slowly. waiting for it to be the last time. That is where the again at the end ties in. He wants it clear that hes hung AGAIN so I feel that means he keeps repeating his failures and wants it known here we again at this same sad point in my life and its taking a toll on him. Its almost his inspiration to quit. Ok thanks hope that clarifies this amazing, beautiful and uplifting song. I am a recovering H addict and this song is just soo perfect. It expresses in words those feelings that are so hard to get out and articulate in such a simple and short manner not giving the addiction too much attention and I love it. Im 26 days free or the drug and Im finally having a good out look again!! And this song helps me to get through each day and each individual craving. Thank you Billy!! |
