Cover art for By Starlight lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

It's about seeing your same pain in the eyes of you lover. "Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?"

Being able to share the same pain with someone you're in love with sounds purty emo but awesome. "I'll make you feel happy, and leave you to be lost in mine"

My favorite Pumpkins song.

i completely agree. i feel its two lonely people that are just starting to fall in love. and him wondering if shes really like him and has the same hurt/feeling as he does(in general). i feel like ive lived this many times. a very mellon collie (no pun intended) and happy feeling at the same time. like you could cry but not bc ur sad. now thats some emo for ya
