Dad
Dead
Was I ever alive?
Fucking makes you alive in one minute
Solctice
I am solctice filled with mercury
Liquid fucked
See right through your heart
Fuck your heart
I am mercury liquid pure
Hot, alive, dead, mucked fish eyes, doe eyes
I was born alive
I'll fucking kill you
I'll beat your soft baby head with my own hand
Careful with that baby...
Don't ever say the h word around him
Ashamed
I am ashamed of my name
Say it
I hate the sound of your shit because it means no good
It means cheap, liar, smart ass piece of shit
Change it to ray gun you fuck
Billy is the loon
I am the loon
I am mars
Billy addly addly addly...
Your name causes shit
While I may be no expert on this reality,
There is no god, but shame
God is hurt, god is cold
Try that once, god is dead
There is not another one
Battle
Cold heart radio
Feedback
The pain
Recurring messages of badness
Recurring living bad dreams at the vortex of lost souls
Wailing lost souls of shame
We are in one hole
Like a cup of mercury phosphate
Brrr
Shuddering around
Taste my shit you wench
Lifting, wailing lost souls who stand a chance
Hot, my eyes darkly gaze and wonder
Do not enter
Why?
I was born whole
Fractured, divided, shattered into a billion fragments
A million piece puzzle
A million piece jigsaw puzzle with no this, and no that

    Why has no one commented? This is SUCH a cool song. May not be the easiest song to understand, but its rad all the same. I love the way some of the words are said especially "liquid fucked" I love it. This song rocks.

    i love the distortion on his voice rather then him just speaking in monotone and being able to understand it...many meanings i'm sure. perhaps about life at the time and when life was and such and how it had all gone to shit. typically billy inspiration but i love it so.

    I had no idea this song was so long, the way it was made it is obvious that it was made to trigger emotion with hidden meaning

    I honestly never knew that this song had lyrics, it just sounds so spacey and cool. But once i saw the lyrics, it made sense.

    when my parents were screaming and throwing pitchers across the kitchen at eachother i would listen to this song in my room so so loud and just cry. i feel very close with this song. for me it really symbolizes my alienism from my family.

    This is so wonderfully random. I LOVE the line "Reoccuring living bad dreams at the vortex of lost souls". Great song to listen in repeat :D

    This sounds a lot like poem written with the stream of consciousness method. Just a lot of random sentences that relate slightly with each other. Pretty funny topics that he addresses. Overall really sweet song.

    I'm pretty sure that the H word is "hate".

    this song makes me dizzy. in a good way.

    This has got the be the scariest of all Smashing Pumpkins songs. I think it's a stream of consciousness stemming from the topic of Billy's dad (although I realize it doesn't necessarily need to be based on reality). The words about the name Billy also suggest this, since he and his dad share that name. The line "I was born whole" reminds me of the "cut their little child" line from Disarm, as if he's speaking of the division of time with his separated parents and how the experience fractured him, maybe made him less pure. That topic combined with the space transmission-y sound of this track gives me chills.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
