Cover art for Rocket lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

Rocket is an amazing song, i dont think people realise how much it says right from the beginning:"i miss everything i'll never be" dont we all want to be somthing we are not. "i torch my soul to show the world i am pure" is about being open and honest so people see us as we really are. "the moon is out the stars invite/think i'll leave tonight" when u were younger how many times did u wish u could fly away, im 20 and i still dream of reaching the stars!. "i shall be free/free from those voices inside me" everyone feels captive to others and themselves, and Billy is telling us one day he'll be free from it all. a great track from one of the best albums of all time.
