This song I believe has to do with the ending of the Smashing Pumpkins.
"The sun has left, the rays are gone" -We did well, but now it's ending
"All the kids have left their tears and gone home" -All the people at the last shows were upset (tears) but now they are going about life again (gone home)
"You were all so kind when I was near" -Talking about how nice and personable the fans are/were
"If you're still feeling down then maybe you need me around" -Being upset and putting on your fav Pumpkins cd
"Just one more song to slay this earth and I can't explain myself just what it's worth" -Even at the last show, it would be hard to not keep playing, at some point it must end and it will be very sad for him
"I had no hand in watching it all fall apart" -Referencing how his bandmates wanted it to end even though the band was all he wanted.
Perhaps the song brings in so many details of what happened during the downfall of the band and this is kind of his way of coping with the reality that all he ever wanted was this band and no matter what he did, it is falling apart arund him. poor billy... :(
