Entre la contradicción de la belleza y la rabia vamos a encontrar a The Smashing Pumpkins, la longeva banda siempre compandada por Billy Corgan, quien no tiene conflicto alguno en compartir sus batallas internas, la soledad y los miedos al cambio que le atormentan. Cuando los destellos de esperanza lo alumbran, luego cosas extraordinarias suelen ocurrir con sus evocadoras letras, esas que nos invitan a mirar el mundo a través de sus propios anhelos para encontrar belleza mucho más allá del caos.
1.- Time is never time at all, you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth. And our lives are forever changed, we will never be the same. The more you change the less you feel.
Tonight/ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness LP/ 1995
2.- I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof that you had left behind. You remind me of that leak in my soul.
Black Page/ Adore LP/ 1998
3.- I steal a kiss from her, sleeping shadow moves because I’ll always miss her wherever she goes. And I’ll always need her more than she could ever need me. I need somene to ease my mind but sometimes a someone is so hard to find.
In the Arms of Sleep/ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness LP/ 1995
4.- Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness and God is empty just like me.
Zero/ Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness LP/ 1995
5.- Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.
Bullet with Butterfly Wings/ Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness LP/ 1995
6.- No more promise no more sorrow, no longer will I follow. Can anybody hear me? I just want to be me. When I can, I will. Try to understand that when I can, I will.
Mayonaise/ Siamese Dream LP/ 1993
7.- In you I see dirty. In you I count stars. In you I feel so pretty. In you I taste God. In you I feel so hungry. In you I crash cars… We must never be apart!
Ava Adore/ Adore LP/ 1998
