Lyrically Speaking for May 18

Happy Sunday to everyone out there. This week for Lyrically Speaking I wanted to bring it back home to my favorite band of all time, The Smashing Pumpkins. I've tried to not use them too much for this series but I have recently heard a song that reminded me of how great the lyrics are.

The album Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness is a double-album that has a huge range of music on it, ranging from hard rock to the softest piano. There is one song in particular that seems more poetry than music, but it's satisfying to hear at any time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

From The Smashing Pumpkins' album Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness, this is Muzzle:

i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone to lie here and die among the sorrows adrift among the days for everything i ever said and everything i've ever done is gone and dead as all things must surely have to end and great loves will one day have to part i know that i am meant for this world

my life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed and won time heals but i'm forever broken by and by the way...

have you ever heard the words i'm singing in these song? it's for the girl i've loved all along can a taste of love be so wrong

as all things must surely have to end and great loves will one day have to part i know that i am meant for this world and in my mind as i was floating far above the clouds some children laughed i'd fall for certain for thinking that i'd last forever

but i knew exactly where i was and i knew the meaning of it all and i knew the the distance to the sun and i knew the echo that is love and i knew the secrets in your spires and i knew the emptiness of youth and i knew the solitude of heart and i knew the murmurs of the soul

and the world is drawn into your hands and the world is etched upon your heart and the world so hard to understand is world you can't live without and i knew the silence of the world
