Aeronaut is about the end of the Pumpkins

[Ram27]

I went down the middle, the world survives

I ended the band to try to compromise, but life still goes on without it

One little mind to ease off one silver drum that beats

It's just me left, trying to replace an amazing drummer

This mountain was torn from us

Our success and reputation (which we built over the years [see second chorus, 'This mountain was born from us']) was destroyed

If I'm leaving you without return a snare
Can a boy float through time and space
You can call it home if you wish or if it's fair

If I'm exploring genres and doing weird shit, you can like it if you want


The 'snare' thing, I imagine must be a pun about a snare drum and a snag. 'If I'm leaving rock music without returning' and 'I'm leaving you guys, but I fucked up'

Lovers won't you mourn with me

Fans, won't you accept the band is over
