Cover art for Quasar lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

Our glorious opener to this amazing new album. pumped up with pounding drums, Gish-ish power chords, and something we all couldn't have missed. "YOD HE VAU HE OM!!" Which translates to "Mother Father Daughter Son," (and then OM). my interpretation is that Billy knew we all missed this sound from the mid-90's, so he through all of it and more at the very beginning of the album. also, it's got the very feeling of Cherub Rock at the beginning to symbolize going back to that thrashy, old, early 90's sound. lyrics are meaningless, but i think this song symbolizes the beginning of life, in a way. being the beginning of the album, and fading in slowly, then exploding into a full-force, pounding masterpiece! i love the drums, i just can't get enough of it. i've heard of people HATING Quasar, and i can't imagine why. it's a perfect opener for Oceania, since alot of the stuff later in the album is alot different.

Song Meaning

How can anyone possibly hate on this? It contains many of the ingredients that made the Pumpkins so special to begin with - duh! Anyways a killer opener (and production!) that immediately states Billy's newfound contentment with a few oblique lines thrown in for good measure. I grappled and found my meaning but I'll leave this one up for your own interpretation...some songs ask for that.
