Smashing Pumpkins- Galapagos (cover) Lyrics

ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child
softly stolen under our blanket skies
and rescue me from me, and all that i believe
i wont deny the pain
i wont deny the change
and should i fall from grace here with you
will you leave me too?
carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
and hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes
and tell me i am still
the man i'm supposed to be
i wont deny the pain
i wont deny the change
and should i fall from grace here with you
will you leave me too?
too late to turn back now
im running out of sound
and i am changing, changing
and if we died right now this fool you love somehow
is here with you
i wont deny the pain
i wont deny the change
and should i fall from grace here with you
would you leave me too?

This song rang so true during my first and only heartbreak. "I won't deny the pain, I won't deny the change".

Yet over the years this song is becoming even more real to me because I am seeing now that it is about the evolution of a particular love - a transition of one love to another, an institution of change which involves a serious skepticism based on the prospect of being hurt once again.

"and should i fall from grace here with you will you leave me too? too late to turn back now im running out of sound and i am changing, changing"

The difficulty and indecision of leaving one for another. It is about a conflicting love. Inevitable, undeniable change. Yet there will always be worry for what you're leaving.

My Interpretation

I think this song is about growing up, to get resistence from people in your surroundings for example in your work and realize that you have to fight fire with fire, meaning you have to have to get below your own moral values to be heard and he is hoping that his love will still love the new man (if this ways change him) he becomes.
