Tonight, Tonight

The Smashing Pumpkins

Time
Is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of you

And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel

Believe
Believe in me
Believe, Believe!

That life can change
That you're not stuck in vain

We're not the same, we're different
Tonight, Tonight

Tonight
So bright
Tonight, Tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light

And the embers never fade
In the city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe
Believe in me
Believe, Believe!

In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance
Tonight, Tonight

Tonight
So bright
Tonight, Tonight

We'll crucify the insincere
Tonight, Tonight
We'll make things right
We'll feel it all
Tonight, Tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night
Tonight
The indescribable moments of your life
Tonight
The impossible is possible
Tonight, Tonight

Believe in me as I believe in you
Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight

    To me, the song (coupled with the video) represents the conscious and the unconscious (usually one is considered masculine and the other feminine depending on your sex) and how the two work together (when we dream at night) to fight your inner demons and make it all possible and believe in each other (meaning to believe in your whole self). I particularly love the lyrics, "and you know you're never sure, but you sure you could be right if you held yourself up to the light". I love it because, to me, it represents how we all struggle with our instinct and then doubt ourselves, but if we just held ourselves up to the light and examined ourselves as a whole and listened and learnt from our inner messages, who knows what could be possible.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
