| The Smashing Pumpkins – Muzzle Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Back in the 90's right after the keyboardist over-dosed and Jimmy was kicked out of the band, Billy brought on Filter's drummer, Matt Walker, to finish off the tour and possibly more. Well, before they kicked off the remainder of the tour with Matt Walker, The Smashing Pumpkins announced to all the radio stations in Chicago one morning that they were having a free concert as a warm up at "The Metro". The concert was to start at noon. Well of course I left work and met a friend who was already standing in a line of thousands. Luckily he was near the front of the line since I don't think The Metro holds even 500 people. They played an amazing show and the best part is that Billy and the entire band were very talkative to the fans/audience. "Muzzle" in particular was one Billy said a little bit about. I think it was around the time he and his wife were separated and going through a divorce. He said, I wrote this next song [Muzzle] solely for my wife. She is here today (Gesturing to the direction of her). I'm sorry, I love you and I hope you understand. This is for you. It was kind of a special moment and that's why I remember it so clearly. Ever since then, and while he sang the song, I think everyone in the place will forever understand more clearly what the song is about. To me it sounds as if he's admitting to his own faults, fears and all that he has gone through in his life. She's ALWAYS been his love of his life but he can't change the past and realizes they must move on. All along he thought he knew it all, but in fact all he only really knew was that he loved this girl and he's sorry it's too late to fix. |
