It's About the Quest...
& Life is a quest for knowledge and understanding
brought forth by the magical synchronicities we create.
Thus...Souls exist in many realms
How did it get there? What does it symbolize?
You feel your quest is to pull the sword free.
You place one hand on the sword.
Energy surges through your body.
Your mind fills with images of your
connection to this sword.
You place both hands on the sword and hold it firmly.
[Close your eyes and feel the sword in your hands
...the metal... the stones...the energies from within]
With all your strength, you pull it out.
As you remove the sword,
a bolt of lightning appears.
With it, you feel a release.
You have taken your power back.
Your quest has been fulfilled.
THUS FROM OUT OF THE SHADOWS
FAR BEYOND THE REALM OF SELF ILLUSIONS
A LONE SOLITARY FIGURE APPEARS UPON THE WORLD STAGE
BRINGING WITH HIM THE SHEERING POWER OUT FROM THE GRAVE
& THE SECRET SOURCE WITHIN HIS PAIN... THUS CREATED,ELECTED &
RECIEVED BY HIS OWN DEFEATED BLOOD OF INNOCENCE AND REMORSE

COME PEACE WILL NOW BE TAKEN FROM THE EARTH
& MEN WILL NOW BEGIN TO SLAY EACH OTHER
SEE FOR A LARGE SWORD HAS NOW BEEN GIVEN FORTH
THUS IN REMEMBRANCE...(1975-1979)
~ 1979 ~ (Smashing Pumpkins)
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

Now A Billy Corgan Moment...
Blast from the past
For those that live in the past, well you always have your c.d.'s there
to keep you warm, or hopefully you saw a memorable show with the
original lineup that you can dream back to. I know that i get sentimental
sometimes for old days and times, but those days have passed. The
band is not 20 anymore. We have seen a lot. We have been through a
lot, and we can only pass our experiences through our music in a way that
is in harmony with the people we are today, not yesterday. We wish
everyone could be happy and satisfied but alas, it is not human nature.
We never set out to be anything but ourselves. I would hope that our
success could be viewed with pride and satisfaction, not as a sign that
something has been ruined. For those of you that have been there from the
start, well to you I can offer only gratitude. For those of you that
have found us along the way, try to connect the dots and see everything
in context.
If you feel betrayed, then that is what you feel. If you
feel that something has been lost, then that is what you feel. Remember
that it is you too who are changing, and that us changing may remind you
of a change or of a future that you might not want. All good things
come to an end, so let us begin again fresh... have faith.... it might
do us all some good.
e then giving & trying to disarm a shoot for once...
May just be in order till 2020-8 & beyond
