Tarantula Lyrics
Every single night
Everything I want is in your eyes.
To places I don’t know to care
The spoils of all I got were left as scraps.
but you’re no worse than me,
It’s crazy.
We all are real, and feel we've had enough,
I’m real, ‘cause someone gave us sound.
I wanna love you when you’re sad.
Get out and take your place then
Can’t stand the blazing sun
Then close your eyes you’ll see
The angel dust.
Anything for these
A million watts of sound can’t compare.
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls
The current starts to flow and they are on.
sinful.
We all are real, every living soul
Yes I’m real, ‘cause someone gave us sound.
I want to love you when you’re happy,
Don’t break this oath
I want to be there when you’re sad,
Please bring the pouring rain.
So easy now,
We all are real, in every living soul,
Don't they know.
Can’t stand the morning rain
Get out and take your place again.
I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to be alone
Alone.
It’s a black heart they’ll get.
For information's sake, the song is named "Tarantula" as a tribute to the band The Scorpions. Corgan and The Scorpions collaborated once and Corgan wanted to show his gratitude.
A slice of awesome pie.
Great first single. Surpasses anything that was on the Machina album. It sounds like it could've been put on the Mellon Collie album, a sort-of mix of Here Is No Why, Zero, and Muzzle. Really excellent song.
I kind of think it's about awareness. If Corgan was not a singer in a rock band, nobody would pass a 2nd glance at him. I think he's sort-of putting himself down, saying that being a musician does not make him "above" any other person. A line that emphasizes this and that stuck out for me was "Yes I'm real, 'cause someone gave us sound". As to the title of the song, I have no clue why it was named Tarantula.
i like this song i cant find it anywhere tho help? me and my bf have been wishing for the pumpkins to get back together...
Not sure about some lyrics:
Everything I want is in your eyes (light?) The angel die (dust?) It's a white hot soul they want, sinful (shameful?) You're real, as real as it goes (as real as any ghost?) 2nd: get out and take your places (place again?)
anything else?
to me it sounds like talking about two things: 1) he stopped doing what he loved doing, which is to play to a lot of people, and affect a lot of people with his music, and 2) the zeitgeist as a whole is pretty apathetic, people are not being real to themselves or fulfilling their purpose, and need to take their place and brave the rain and sun to make a difference
to me, it's as inspiring as cherub rock.
this song is really hard to get, iknow u can type this in to get the flv file, then the hard part is convertin that 2 mp3, http://pdl.stream.aol.com/aol/us/aolmusic/spinner/audio/songs/pumpkins_bb_dl.flv
i think hes sayin that if he didnt sing then nobody would notice him, and how people cant empathize or really telll that ur there until u somehow make the aware of it.
It's really hard to understand what he's saying at some points, but here's what I think should be changed :
You and me go there to: You and me go back
The spoils of all I got were left to scrounge. to: The spoils of all I got were left for scraps.
Anything for these to: Anything beneath
I still hate the album art, but this song is good. I hope for more goodness.
I think part of it's about the idols of today's world & those who choose to follow them.
"Oh it’s a white hot soul they want, sinful." Referring to the idols themselves. "Sinful" may be referring to the idols as fakes & their immoral rise in the entertainment world. & "If it’s a white hot soul they want It’s a black heart they’ll get." Referring to the fans of these "phoney" idols & the wicked hearts they'll possess for encouraging them to succeed.
