![]() It was rumored to be the Smashing Pumpkins’ fifth and final single from this album, as is evidenced by the fact that a promotional single for the song was issued to radio stations worldwide. It was one of the last songs written by Billy Corgan for Mellon Collie, with the song's lyrics referring to what Corgan thought the public's perception was of him at the time. " Muzzle" is a song by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins from their third album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Promotional single by the Smashing Pumpkinsįrom the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Peace Unto You All.1996 promotional single by the Smashing Pumpkins "Muzzle" And silence is peace.Īll major philosophies point to this. the spiritual world which gives you peace. This is the "world" that you cannot live without. It also means that the spiritual world cannot be understood with the thinking mind. The world (now meaning the material world) is hard to understand. The infinite vastness of the world (there are double meanings, so be careful) - here it means the universal consciousness that binds all thing is yours to feel (etched upon your heart). Once you understand these things, the world is yours (drawn into your hands). kids don't know these things (they are not enlightened), and thus empty, as they rely on their mind for everything, and are thus doomed unless they Break out of the mold, as Buddha and Jesus did. ![]() The secrets in your spires is that you identify with your mind (as most people do) and thus your desires, motivation, fear, etc are all very predictable. However, he knew exactly where he was, he was enlightened, and thus freed from suffering, and understood the meaning of it all (life), and represented by knowing the universe. Mind cannot understand Eastern thought, so he was in many ways alone. These "friends" laughed at him because of his beliefs, because they were different than their "standard" Christian-based beliefs. He must have told friends that he thought he would live forever, a Buddhist and Hindu thought. but rather adults who have not learned "the truth". The children are not children as the world knows them. Women are much closer to the truth than men, and this is why I think he uses this metaphor. The girl he loves could be a girl, but I suspect it is a metaphor for his strong inside. Once he learns that this voice exists, it begins to diminish and his real essence, i.e., power and strength, come to the surface. The voice in his mind brings doubt, so he fears he is only ordinary. He was once "ordinary", but his musical success and his spiritual maturity (mostly the latter) make him a great success, and thus extraordinary. The author feels it is extraordinary to be in the position that he is in right now. MUZZLE MEANING SKINThe Pumpkins were pure genius, and their songs were not just skin deep. This song means many things on many levels. All along he thought he knew it all, but in fact all he only really knew was that he loved this girl and he's sorry it's too late to fix. She's ALWAYS been his love of his life but he can't change the past and realizes they must move on. To me it sounds as if he's admitting to his own faults, fears and all that he has gone through in his life. ![]() Ever since then, and while he sang the song, I think everyone in the place will forever understand more clearly what the song is about. It was kind of a special moment and that's why I remember it so clearly. I'm sorry, I love you and I hope you understand. She is here today (Gesturing to the direction of her). He said, I wrote this next song solely for my wife. I think it was around the time he and his wife were separated and going through a divorce. ![]() "Muzzle" in particular was one Billy said a little bit about. They played an amazing show and the best part is that Billy and the entire band were very talkative to the fans/audience. Luckily he was near the front of the line since I don't think The Metro holds even 500 people. Well of course I left work and met a friend who was already standing in a line of thousands. MUZZLE MEANING FREEWell, before they kicked off the remainder of the tour with Matt Walker, The Smashing Pumpkins announced to all the radio stations in Chicago one morning that they were having a free concert as a warm up at "The Metro". MemoryBack in the 90's right after the keyboardist over-dosed and Jimmy was kicked out of the band, Billy brought on Filter's drummer, Matt Walker, to finish off the tour and possibly more. Some children laughed I'd fall for certain I fear that I am ordinary just like everyoneĪnd everything I've ever done is gone and deadĪnd great loves will one day have to part ![]()
