But can you explain, in detail, line by line, the lyrical meaning of either of those songs? That was the challenge you put forth to those who are fond of most of BC's lyrics, and I was just wondering if you would take up your own challenge on one of the two songs you deem lyrically 'good'. |

jelly blossom, i have no problem with your opinion that abstract lyrics suck and that corgan's abstract lyrics in particular are bad, but he definitely has written some great songs with great lyrics. i have to wonder how one becomes a fan posting on a message board if they dont take anything from the lyrics.
and just to make a point... |

"Blank page was all the rage, never meant to say anything," is a comment on how he internalized his feelings about his ex-wife and pushed forward, only showing the public his game face. It just seemed like the thing to do, it was "all the rage" and it allowed him to keep shoveling coal into the SP popularity engine. All the rage is of course a phrase referring to something wildly popular, so it fits in that way as well. The way he faced these demons by just blindly pushing through them, he "never meant to say anything" on the subject at all, just completely bury and swallow it down. Blank page could also refer directly to the phenomenon of sitting down to write something (perhaps a letter to his ex, perhaps this song in which he deals with his feelings?) but comes up with nothing for a long time (it was all the rage), and he keeps telling himself he isn't writing this mystery text (metaphor for not running and staring down the beast) because he has no intention of doing so instead of it being something he is unable to do. |

good interpretation.
i mean if we want incomprehensible songs really a great example is Geek USA, and it's a song that is very well regarded anyway. weird pseudo-cliches (kiss kiss all of this, the hiss that we had missed), "shot full of diamonds" - ??? but then the climax of the lyrics is comprehensible and can be seen as explaining the nonsense of he other lyrics, although im sure this wasnt intended and it just worked out that way, and they stand out as awesome on their own - "words cant define what i feel inside/who needs them?/caught with this virus for my mind/I give in to my disease of my needs" |

Blank Page was about his ex wife. Billy's girlfriend didn't allow him to talk about anything related to how his marriage fell apart.
Blank Page is a song about not being allowed to write a song about that all. Last edited by Forgotten Child : 12-10-2015 at 11:15 PM. |

Unless I'm thinking of someone else, haven't you alluded to having heard DFN/whatever-it's-now called?

I'd never considered that before. However, the booklet also includes no punctuation whatsoever in the lyrics, the title seems to run into the rest of the lyrics which run into each other. Could also be that the idea of the "blank page" is so central to this song that the title itself becomes part of the lyrics, which is the opposite of Billy's usual habit of sticking an arbitrarily associated word or phrase on a song as its title.
