Real Love

I start to get a headache if i listen to this song too much, because of the staticy background and all. However, this song is wonderful.

This is a fantastic song, one of my favourites by the Smashing Pumpkins. I loved it since the first time I heared it. Should be more comments for this song!

this song... was made for me and my love... :) although im not with my love, we're "in love" its so wonderful. like this song.

this song is so pretty...man when did billy's music get pretty?? not that i mind, just wondering

beautiful song, i particularly identify myself with this one and a lot of others from billy corgan

fall into the century on a supersonic cross blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss

i guess the turn of the century means a new era, means changes, hes loosing her, thats why eternal loss

calling out i won't surrender a locket of her hair sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs

he wants something to remember her, he wont surrender a locket of her hair cuz it is all he has to remind her, the second line is about how he attended to her every wishes and now he wont anymore

into the dark again to feel alive again, and wait for

real love or is it me you're after is it time cause it's now or never real love real love forever real love

hes living her and he must find real love, and giving her a last chance, is it me your after, cuz its now or never etc...

in the eyes, behold and you'll find the 21st century detonate her will and her widowed speech

this is again about changing and how he will not take her bullsh*t anymore

buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin that held her mother's first kiss in a nameless dream fall down the stairs again to feel alive against tomorrow

this is one part of the song i cant really understand, can someone help me? in the end he tells again e needs to leave her and feel alive again

real love or is it me you're after is it time cause it's now or never real love real love forever is it love or just yours to treasure real love real love real love

then again he asks her if she realy loves him and wants to stay with him

we never listen real love will listen and tell of a fortune real love is riches scratch through the changes real love is nameless so tired and hopeless real love is painless nobody mentions we ever move to collect the solar questions demon scorn should not relax the laws of gravity

real love

here he tells what he thinks that real love should be and maybe why he doenst think he and she have real love

in the end this song is about a man leaving a woman and giving her a last chance to prove her "real" love, or is it something unreal what they have

Really read this part:

"in the eyes, behold and you'll find the 21st century detonate her will and her widowed speech buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin that held her mother's first kiss in a nameless dream fall down the stairs again to feel alive against tomorrow"

There is a lot in it.

this song is a like a shoegazer song. the cool thing about billy is that he tries on tons of different styles, and he almost always does it as well or better than the bands that only play in that style

Billy Corgan, coming in for a landing on a jet, after midnight on New Year's, in 1999 / 2000: "Fall into the century on a supersonic cross...."

Corgan does this two or three times in this song- he punches us in the metaphorical tummy.

How about: Born of the fallen chain / Into a world sustained with sorrow. Fallen chain- a slave who was freed (by love)?

Again: Buried in the backyard shadow / The rusty coffee tin / That held her mother's first kiss in a / Nameless dream Agggh- we can feel that... a chasm of mysterious gothic poetry

And: We never listen / Real love will listen And tell of a fortune / Real love is riches Scratch through the changes / Real love is nameless / So tired and hopeless Real love is painless / Nobody mentions.

The lack of clear meaning is actually the point- it's Real Love- the mysteries of which exist just beyond that which we can access.

Amazing song! But... demon scorn and laws of gravity? Really Mr. Corgan- shoulda quit while you were ahead! ;) monterino@yahoo.com

Amazing song. Brilliant. The lyrics and the whole slight imperfect distortion in the background makes it a wonderful song. Driving along these electric street lights.

My favourite Smashing Pumpkins song. Evening drives along these electric street lights. "Is it time? 'cause it's now or never..."
