Billy Corgan, in the interview "From Mellon Collie to Oceania" with Matt Pinfield, said regarding this song, altough he said "this is very conceptual" said that this song is "almost as if the same guy that was singing on Mellon Collie, is singing to" (I forgot exactly what he says from here on out so I'm not gonna quote him) a kid from today with the expirience he has, almost sort of warning him of what to do.

I don't really see that in this song, but this, to me, is one of those songs where you don't see a set meaning, I mean it obviously has to do with a relationship be it with a family member, a friend, or a lover, but the song kicks so much ass, it doesn't matter. This song as well reminds me so much of summer, and not just because it says summer in the chorus. Mostly because it came out in the summertime. Anyway thank you.
