Solara Lyrics: what do they mean?
"Nothing but a body in my mind"
What does this...mean? "Become the owl at midnight" "Become the one that fights you" Like, someone who can see in these dark? Who am I fighting? "Bring down the sun" "I'm not everyone" "I'm sun-filled, bright" So I'm going to assume this is a pseudo-Christian rock song and he's talking about being someone of faith who wants dat pure sun. |

It's an anti gentrification song. Billy is upset about young hip people moving into his neighborhood and opening "pop up" shops, galleries and eateries.
Burn down the sun = heat up something that's already hot = people moving into his neighborhood and trying to change it when it's already perfect High and dry / nothing but a body = just expressing frustration and impotence / being unable to do anything about the situation Become the owl at midnight = he's saying this place is his natural habitat and also that he's a predator and will eat the little mice trying to invade his tree Become the one that fights you, I'm here to stay, etc... obvious. |

It’s a window into Billy’s subconscious mind as a narcissist:
“Burn down the sun” Get rid of this moralily bull crap everyone is on my ass about “I’m not everyone” I’m not like most people. I don’t care about “the sun,” light, or morality “I’m nothing but a body in my mind” No soul, no feeling, no humanness. Just a body, an organic machine. Check out Sam Vaknin on YouTube. This is exactly how he describes the inner world of a narcissist. |

Billy said on Stern he doesn't even know what it's about.

Spiritual Mind is greater than body, although coexisting as one.
Body existing because of Mind. I'm just a Body in my Mind. |

If there's honesty in this lyric, it's that there's something amiss in our cosmos. Yet still, we must love.

Billy Corgan doesn't write songs with an inherent meaning in mind.
He takes a more aesthetic poetic approach to lyrics and puts words together that sound good and based on what he is feeling at the time. He has admitted this many times including today on the Howard Stern interview. |

He's talking about reductionism. Reducing the mind to its physical component. Probably an allusion to our shallow materialistic culture. You can divide your "self" an infinite number of ways depending on where you draw the boundaries. The body is the objective component.

Maybe it’s from the perspective of Zero, who represents the quintessential nihilist and believes he’s just a body in his mind.
And that would explain why they also played the song Zero. Being Zero is becoming the one that fights him. |

It’ll be interesting to see what the video is like. The screen cap had an empty human size birdcage -maybe he’s trying to connect the rat in a cage nihilism of MCIS with escaping it through the light? File this under ‘shit no one will ever directly ask Billy even though they should’ |

Except Billy is actually trying to say something underneath the surface of his music.
Anyway... The more I think about it, this song seems to be a thematic answer to BWBW, except instead of the chorus about being trapped, it’s about being released by the truth. Bring down the sun etc. |
