i agree totally with what ChrislvSP said in regards to Siamese Dream. Heck, i think anyone whos ever heard of that album loves it. its fantastic. but it was released well over 10 years ago. alot has changed. Billy is no longer an angsty 20something year old, he is a 40yr old man. No artist sticks to the exact same genre. They would get bored shitless. its like a job, your still working but you may change occupation 3 or 4 times.
U2 released Achtung baby just 4 years after The Joshua Tree - those records sound nothing the same. If you like one album and cannot escape it then thats your choice. I happen to realy appreciate and adore nearly all of the Smashing Pumpkins songs off every bootleg bside and album. Billy is an awesome guitar player, composer and lyricicist.
I think this song could be for the fans who have always stuck by the pumpkins. the people theyare getting away from are the SP haters who once were there but have now gone leaving only punched up skulls and dark back rows (the past) he is saying lets go beyond the great unknown to places of spiritual and musical greatness, forget about all the 'haters' lets keep making and loving great music and keep loving life - don't let the bastards get you down.
