To my mistakes to my mistakes of cowardice
She shimmy shakes the Jimmy Jakes of consequence
Born of the airs and dues my airs of madness do declare
That it's o.k. it's love
It's what you wanted to see it's who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need she'll make it up
Love it's who you know
Machine gun blues her vacant rush is so steel
I'm unaware lost inside your visions
I got mine too over, I got mine and I got you
'Cause I know you, you're love
It's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need, she'll make it up
Love, it's who you know
Can I look up to you as you look down on me
Can I feel in to you as you felt in to me
I can't help what you see, I can't help but to be
For what I needed to need, she'll make it
Love, it's who you know
She shimmy shakes the Jimmy Jakes of consequence
Born of the airs and dues my airs of madness do declare
That it's o.k. it's love
It's what you wanted to see it's who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need she'll make it up
Love it's who you know
Machine gun blues her vacant rush is so steel
I'm unaware lost inside your visions
I got mine too over, I got mine and I got you
'Cause I know you, you're love
It's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need, she'll make it up
Love, it's who you know
Can I look up to you as you look down on me
Can I feel in to you as you felt in to me
I can't help what you see, I can't help but to be
For what I needed to need, she'll make it
Love, it's who you know

she shimmy shakes, the jimmy jakes of consequence
born of the airs and dues house, my airs of madness do declare
that it's ok, it's love
it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be
for what you needed to need, she'll make it up
love, it's who you know
machine gun blues, her vacant rush is so steel
i'm unaware, lost inside your visions
i got mine too over, i got mine and i got you
cause i know you, you're love
it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be
for what you needed to need, she'll make it up
love, it's who you know
and when I lost my mind, I knew I was in for the long ride
can i look up to you as you look down on me
can i feel in to you as you felt in to me
i can't help what you see, i can't help but to be
for what i needed to need, she'll make it
love, it's who you know
Love solves everything. Love
There's the full lyrics. One line was missing in the middle, and the last line wasn't there at all.
"it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be
for what you needed to need, she'll make it up
love, it's who you know"
I was thinking he might mean that love gives you the illusions that someone else has everything you need or want, that she'll make up that idea in your head even if it's not reality. They become what you want to see, who you want to be, and what you need to need. Love just makes it up. "It's who you know" could mean that love just finds somebody you know in your life to manifest itself into, making them seem like the perfect person that fills your void.
Whene you realize love is not the perfect insitution you believe it to be..
You put down the book of fairytales...
And say screw it...
Sometimes lust...infatuation...is enough.
Most people are not really in love..
But in love with the idea of being in love.
Overall I think its a mixture of both love and lust. More like love turned into lust, maybe because its easier for him to fall in lust then to really fall in love and risk being hurt again so he remains bitter I guess and indulging in lust while having a spitefull out look on love. Thats the feeling I get from the lyrics, but I remembered when I first heard the song it was also the feeling I got due to the general sound and the way he sung it, espiecally when he'd say "love" in particular.
Thats my two cents =). I'd like to hear others opinions on mine aswell, because I'm not 100% convinced by my own intrepration if that makes sense =p.
Plus, the music is distorted: it's not natural - like the lyrical sentiment, it's warped and been perverted.
Alot of Mellon Collie seems to be about expressing the contradictions of human thought (and emotions); although being able to acknowledge them, one is still subject to their whims.
PS The final lyric is missing:
"Love solves everything!!!!! - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE"
but by far, this is one of my favorites of all!
