The Sacred and Profane

such a great song...they could turn this whole album into a dark, animation musical...sort of like "The night before christmas..." or even better...having the art of Jhonen Vasquez...i would want that movie...

i'm thinking this song has to do with a relationship that's been "settled for"...two people are content with being each other one is "part of me now"...in good times and bad...even though that's not what they want. That's what i see anyway!

I agree with rockstar... Having Jhonen do some artwork for this would rock my world. :)

I think this is one of the best songs on the album!

In a way, when I listen to this I think it's to the fans of the Smashing Pumpkins, with this being the last (proper) release. It's like a message to the fans.

I can sort of get da77yn. The line "you're all a part of me now", could be to the fans of The Smashing Pumpkins, who have followed them through their career, loved all their songs and know all the lyrics. They understand him through them and so are a part of him in a way.

Yup, I agree with you guys. Great song, too.

its glass claiming his fans are really part of him (did i mention glass is crazy)

No it's not. His fans are a part of him in the sense that a lot of them relate to the lyrics and find meaning in them, for themselves. In a way, they share this journey with him, emotionally, because they relate. Hence why they are fans.

I'm not sure what this song is about myself. But the view that it could be a message to his fans is quite plausable. It could be about his fans, yes, or maybe the other band members? I've no idea.

Such a lovely song. I think it's towards the fans.
