AboutJason Musgrove Expertise I`ve been a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins since 1993, and I have all the albums and U.S. CD singles. I can answer just about any question concerning the band`s beginning, how they picked their name, bios of the members, lyrics, discography, soundtracks, some personal info, and other news. I cannot answer questions about their tours.
Question what is the reference to jesus in the song about, where it goes "i can not be saved"
thanx. personally, what is your favorite pumpkins album and song?
Answer Well, Billy Corgan has never been one to give an exact meaning to any of his songs, often leaving them open for fan interpretation, but he has been known to create lyrics with spritual overtones. The reference to Jesus that youre speaking of is this:
"Tell me Im the only one.
Tell me theres no other one.
Jesus was an only son
Tell me Im the chosen one.
Jesus was an only son for you.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved."
Im not 100% sure of the meaning, since its not my lyrics, hehe. Its totally open to however you want to interpret it. ^_^
Personally, my favorite album is Siamese Dream. Its the album that the band had just released before I first heard of them. My favorite song? Hmm.. thats a bit harder. I like lots of the songs. Bury, Snail, Quiet, Rocket, Hello Kitty Kat, Bodies, Tear, For Martha, Stand Inside Your Love.
