empty up
and help yourself to go
and all i wanted
was you here next to me
a little sunshine and sympathy
now everybody knows
that i've been hanging down so low
'cause now i'm feeling up
but soon i'll be feeling left so cold
wondering, will you come
'cause now we're feeling high
soon i'll be feeling left for dead
sometimes someone's second guess
changes what you'll miss
and all i wanted
was just to hold you close
a little sunshine
just to butter my toast
your love next to mine
i had to let you know
that we were meant to be just right
heaven sent, not hypnotized
to everybody's lie
'cause now we're feeling high
soon i'll be feeling left for dead
kicking up the dust in bed
wondering, i guess
sunshine
sunshine
sunshine
and some tea
your love, it's all i wanted
your love, it's all i wanted
your love next to mine
i had to let you go
i had to let you go so i
could see my life fade from your eyes
and to my surprise
it's what i wanted
it's what i wanted
it's what i wanted
you with me
it's what i wanted
it's what i wanted
it's all i wanted
just a tease
sunshine
sunshine
sunshine
you with me
and help yourself to go
was you here next to me
a little sunshine and sympathy
that i've been hanging down so low
'cause now i'm feeling up
but soon i'll be feeling left so cold
wondering, will you come
'cause now we're feeling high
soon i'll be feeling left for dead
sometimes someone's second guess
changes what you'll miss
was just to hold you close
a little sunshine
just to butter my toast
i had to let you know
that we were meant to be just right
heaven sent, not hypnotized
to everybody's lie
'cause now we're feeling high
soon i'll be feeling left for dead
kicking up the dust in bed
wondering, i guess
sunshine
sunshine
and some tea
your love, it's all i wanted
your love next to mine
i had to let you go so i
could see my life fade from your eyes
and to my surprise
it's what i wanted
it's what i wanted
you with me
it's what i wanted
it's all i wanted
just a tease
sunshine
sunshine
you with me

Even though this song sounds so bouncy and cheery, I always think that it really isn't at all.
'it's all I wanted...'
As usual it's that unrequited love thing, the idea that you only want one thing and you can't have it, and you have to let it go for the best of reasons. I always see this kind of message in Billy Corgan's stuff, I loved the Pumpkins and I love Zwan, but I'm starting to think that this view of all the songs is totally just a reflection of my own feelings. but then in a way I guess that's the point isn't it?
this is my favorite song on the cd...mmmm
i love this song. it sounds happy but it's actually depressing... it's really relaxing and carefree, a nice change from those heart-wrenching pumpkins songs (but i still love them)
I think this song is about unrequited love, but in the sense of getting over it. He's speaking in the past tense about what he wanted. He has found release. The importance of release is shown in the opening line "empty up and help yourself to go", it's about detaching yourself from all the things that drag you down or that you stand to lose and living your life.
I'll take a stab at a second theme in these lyrics and that's of being forgotten by the person he loved "soon i'll be leaving left for dead". He's afraid for the person getting over him too fast and moving on faster than he is. I guess it makes the song like a little high in between two phases of depression over a person whom he loves. There's a hint of apprehension about what the future holds despite having forgiven the past.
just curious... do u like zwan or the pumpkins more ?
does anyone know what el sol means ?
el sol = the sun in spanish
Great Song one of my favorites on the album. Ima fan of both the Pumpkins and Zwan
it sounds like sympathize not "not hypnotized". maybe thats just on my side, but ive played it over and over. good song
