I'm sure Billy Corgin was one of those kids who got beat up alot growing up, and I can sympathize, since I was one too.
But I hear this and I want to kick the living crap out of him.

"So clear channel?" More like "so classic." Just because a song is on heavy rotation on a clear channel station does not mean it sucks. Disarm was released (and became popular) at a time when Clear Channel did not even exist.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you. |

While from a predicate calculus standpoint this is a tautology, it's not really fair to apply rules of logic to song lyrics (or, really, any human language).
Compare the line "If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice" (--Rush, "Free Will"). Logically, the construction is worthless. As poetry (and philosophy, because we're talking about Rush here), it's significant. |

I wish people would stop using the word "Trite" to describe lyrics. Your choice of words makes your snobish disposition extremely obvious. Just go back to drinking your tea with your pinky sticking out and leave the rest of us to enjoy the song. |

Overplayed? Sure...in 1993-94. Maybe it's just me, but the only time I hear this song is when I put "Siamese Dream" in a CD player. Still a beautiful song.

I'm not a Pumpkins fan at heart but this song I like, despite it's being over played on the radio. What I like about this song isn't the lyrics but the fact that it reminds of a fond moment in my life. In fact, the moment I'm thinking of was when this song had just come out, before radio bludgeon it to death. I was about to graduate from high school and off to visit the colleges with a friend of mine. We spent a week in spring driving through the north east. We were coming into our own with our future paved like the road before us unpredictable and seemingly endless. When I hear this song, I admit I don't even know what this song is about because I get lost in this memory. I wonder if I'll ever be able brake free of the memory long enough to listen to the words.
