Cover art for The Celestials lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

a huge change in tempo, from the first two pounding, fast songs, to The Celestials. the beginning reminds me of Disarm, in a way. "Special K" really confused me, because it kinda sounded silly, in this really serious song. Special K (Special Ketamine) is a drug, [usually used at dance parties ;) ]that kinda lifts you from your physical body, and gives you this, out-of-body experience, and numbs you. Billy is saying he wants to be her (or your) escape from life, "your free with me". when the song changes into a thick, metal song, all my dreams came true. XD when i was listening to this cool acoustic song, i was like, "wow, this is sweet, but it would be sweeter if it had power chords," then BAM, Billy doesn't disapoint.. usually. i love the mind-numbing feedback at the end, drives other people crazy though, i think its cool.
