I see this mentioned in SP history (and other 90s bands history) quite a bit. Specifically referencing Siamese Dream. If this is the case, how come lyrics don't evolve or change over the course of time, like arrangements sometimes do, after the album comes out?

Is it proof that the lyrics are the least important part of the song, or is it proof that they (songwriters) are often lying about their lyric choices in the sense they want you to believe they were dashed off in an emotional fury?
