The Smashing Pumpkins – Because You Are

• +1
  My Interpretation:Pretty sure some of the lyrics here are wrong. That being said, I don't have sound right now and can't listen to the song to decipher.
  I think it's essentially almost a love song - I will do anything for you, even painful or impossible things (as mentioned in the song) - but some of the lyrics and the music itself makes it seem more like an unhealthy relationship or perhaps an obsession and not a real relationship at all. It's definitely a "dark" song.

    One line I specifically remember him saying is "I will deny all that I ever praised" and not "I will deny all that I'm afraid". SPFC has the same one as here, so maybe I'm wrong... but that's what it sounded like to me.

  General Comment:I rather like this song. To me it's about how he refuses to leave a situation just because of another person... sort of sticking it through to spite them.
