Billy Corgan, coming in for a landing on a jet, after midnight on New Year's, in 1999 / 2000: "Fall into the century on a supersonic cross...."
Corgan does this two or three times in this song- he punches us in the metaphorical tummy.
How about:
Born of the fallen chain / Into a world sustained with sorrow.
Fallen chain- a slave who was freed (by love)?
Again:
Buried in the backyard shadow / The rusty coffee tin / That held her mother's first kiss in a / Nameless dream
Agggh- we can feel that... a chasm of mysterious gothic poetry
And:
We never listen / Real love will listen And tell of a fortune / Real love is riches
Scratch through the changes / Real love is nameless / So tired and hopeless
Real love is painless / Nobody mentions.
The lack of clear meaning is actually the point- it's Real Love- the mysteries of which exist just beyond that which we can access.
Amazing song! But... demon scorn and laws of gravity?
Really Mr. Corgan- shoulda quit while you were ahead!
