Cover art for Hummer lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

I think this song is about a guy trying to break free from a woman that has him following her lead and not being able to be his own person. I think when it says "lifes a bummer, when you're a hummer" that it's like a bee and how it follows the lead of other bees, because you very rarely see just one bee.
