Even though I’m a huge Pumpkins fan, I unfortunately have a bad feeling about the upcoming album. It’s only eight songs and the songs are fairly short. Feels slight, like Monuments (my least fav Pumpkins album).



Solara isn’t that great. Silvery Sometimes is decent, but not particularly memorable. I want something in the vein of Oceania as far as new music goes, not another Monuments.



But I’m still hoping and I already pre ordered the CD

Here are the lyrics.



"Candy cane walks down

To build a bonfire to break my fall

My baby, my sweet thing

Just maybe we could lose ourselves this time

King of the horseflies, dark prince of death

His tragic forces are heaven sent

In sweet things, in a lover's breath

In knowing this was meant to be the last

A go go go kids, a go go go style

A suck suck suck kiss, a suck suck suck smile

As always in young need

A veiled promise to never die

On dead highways, her black beauties roam

For June angels, so far from home

For a love lost, a faded picture

To tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies

So get on, get on, get on the bomb

Get back, get back where you belong."



What do YOU get out of this?

In my opinion is very much like Soundgarden's room a thousand years wide or never the machine forever, it's like a personal battle with your own demons and emotions From an existential point of view but in a Tolkien's style. In a few words is about human struggle in life but with Camus concept of the absurd

See, that's an easy one! Basically, Zeus is fucking Dione. They're getting their freak on at Mt. Olympus, and Zeus uses his abs and impressive lightning powers to seduce Dione; it works quite well, and the sexual energy is rampant. However... OH NO! Hades (the "dark prince of death" in this story if you're following along) walks in on the couple! How did he even make it to Olympus uninvited and unannounced? Who knows... it probably has to do with the fact that Zeus was spending more time being horny than actually taking charge of his own sacred land. Anyway, Zeus expels Hades from Olympus once again, expending his fury and might on the one who might spread some steamy drama and controversy later down the road. Zeus' final words were: "get back, get back where you belong."

So yeah, it's a pretty easy explanation, honestly. I didn't know Billy was so interested in Greek mythology and religion, however.

Ha!

You give a good reason for leaving songs wide open to interpretation.

A sound hypothesis but I’m going to need a few more examples before I come to a logical conclusion on the matter.

Well this holds up better than pretty much anything else I liked 15 years ago, nice. I must admit that even back in those days I rarely listened to disc 2, but disc 1 is so damn consistent.
