The Smashing Pumpkins – Violet Rays Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this is one of the best songs off the album. Apparently his last break up inspired a lot of the lyrics. I think it's about heartbreak and questioning if his girlfriend cheated on him: "Am I the only one you see?" Is she seeing someone else in the literal form or does she see someone else emotionally. So he's vulnerable and will leave with anyone. I think a lot of people can relate to being hurt and making a mistake or two out of vulnerability.

He was on Howard Stern on the day Oceania was released and refused to comment whether this song was about her cheating. Safe to say it most likely is.
