Lyric discussion by Status 

Cover art for X.Y.U. lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

Hate to be cliché, but in two words: Courtney Love.

Billy used to write her long sappy love letters, and go to great lengths to promote Hole as a group. He also contributed a great deal of writing to the band. This strikes me as what he felt in the aftermath of their relationship. He gave her a LOT, and all he got out of it was Courtney the psycho bitch.

A lot of verses could refer to Love's drug abuse, the battles surrounding her custody of her daughter, and Kurt's untimely death. Others seem like Billy's bitterness about being the 'other man'. "I am never enough, I am the forgotten child" illustrates this very well.

@Status The status of the forgotten child. i get it. ty://///]
