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' Quote:

if this is true though it's incredibly sad he's had to make this type of song more than once, and over 15 years apart at that
i don't mean sad in a condescending way, i mean it actually makes my heart sink |

I think the lyrics of the song describe more of Billy's decisions besides just ending the Pumpkins... it's about his decision to be who he wants to be.

You do realize his lyrics are gibberish right? Any meaning you might find in any of his songs strictly comes from you imposing your own interpretation into the lyrics, and not from any lyrical craftsmanship from Billy. |

the wording of "i'm leaving you without return a snare" makes it sound like he's talking about some snare-drum insurance policy

Yeah it's pretty presumptuous for Billy to lyrically presume that all fans former/current would hump him and thus be "a lover." I mean, a friendly HJ perhaps- dude did write Siamese Dream after all. But geez, that doesn't mean he can refer to me as a lover.
Further, Billy might be saying 'morn. Maybe he's making an invitation to wake up a bit early, perhaps for breakfast. And, maybe, I'm taking the word lovers the wrong way. Maybe he's just saying any lovers in general- like anyone who's currently screwing someone on the regular. Maybe by saying "Lovers won't you 'morn with me..." he's just saying "if you're banging someone, wake up early and join me at IHOP." I mean, I don't know. Lyric interpretation can be sort of subjective. |

Hmmmmm I dunno i think if there's honesty in this lyric, it's that there's something amiss in our cosmos. Yet still, we must love.

The whole song was about remembering when he enjoyed doing what he was doing, and recognizing that the band was essentially done, or coming to an end. Blissed and Gone, too: i had no voice i had no drive i had no choice i've done my time i had myself had my band i had my love had no hand in watching it all fall apart |

My first thought was the mountain referred to his past superstardom

Are you crazy? Look at the album cover. It's just a beautiful song for his kid and his girlfriend. "I went down the middle, the world survives": its a literary reference to the beginning of The Divine Comedy, from Dante. It's a very personal song, about his private, real life. It's a song about love, personified in his son. The mountain is his son. It has nothing to do with bands or his career.

You're putting more thought into these lyrics than Billy did writing them. They're nonsense. That line he said during Storytellers about "1979" being a good title because it had plenty of options in a rhyme scheme, though he laughed it off, was not a joke.
Anybody reading that deeply into lyrics, given what we've learnt about Corgan over the last 10 years, is deeply misguided - but even with talented lyricists, reading that deeply into lyrics when you're an adult is pretty embarrassing. |

Pretty sure this song is about his kid and the American spirit or something.

Even the title of that song is total bullshit (like a lot of Billy's songs). |
