This has never felt like a sad song to me... it feels like home. It feels like looking back on your mistakes and hoping tomorrow will be better. I love it.

[@kutark]

Could not possibly have said it better myself.

[@separator94]

It's not a sad song whatsoever. It's about trying to find yourself. It's actually empowering and beautiful. These two have extreme difficulties with understanding even the most straightforward songs. A lot of the time it's downright shocking. I mean, death? Death!? This song has absolutely nothing to do with death, whatsoever. Nor is it dark or sad in any way.

Corgan about Mayonaise: “One that really jumps out is the song ‘Mayonaise,’ which is kind of a treasured song by Pumpkins fans, off of ‘Siamese Dream.’ It was the last song I wrote lyrics for on the album. And it got to the point where it was like okay, I’ve gotta write these lyrics, I’ve gotta sing this song. And when I wrote it, I felt like I just threw together a bunch of weird one liners, basically. It didn’t feel like it had any synchronicity to me; I was just looking for good lines to sing. And now when I sing the song, I’m just shocked how closely reflective it is of what I was going through. It’s almost like this weird personal anthem to my experience, but I didn’t feel that at the time. And I can see why people identify with it, because now I identify with it. It’s hard to explain without going into long-winded answers, but just the direct narrative aspects of it really surprise me. It’s like how you can look at Picasso’s art and see who he was [sleeping with] at the time, you know. But instead of painting her, he paints Madonna. The Madonna, you know what I mean. He turns his mistress into the holy mother. Similar things happened with me. Stuff shows up in all these weird places, but I don’t remember thinking that at the time. I was just struggling for a language.”

@@DWQJVB OK. Sure.

[@icejunki]

Billy Corgan (the lead singer) in my opinion, never felt understood and his songs are, for me, the cry of the anguished heart. This is by far my absolute favorite song I have ever heard. The Smashing Pumpkins has always resonated with me because I can relate to the fact that no matter what I say in a hundred words or a hundred years, no one will ever truly understand my heart. Something to also take from 90s Alternative was that the lyrics were a break in the mold from the "Hair Metal" of the 80s and early 90s where is was all about fast girls, fast cars and drugs. Alternative was abstract and sometimes incomprensible. You were supposed to find your own meaning by relating to them while dissecting them. Hope you liked this one. Thanks for reacting to it. You two have a great channel.

[@8cylinderstolife737]

One of the best SP songs ever. You really have to delve into the mind of someone that doesn’t fit in to the world around them and others think they should be something else. It’s the fight against what the world wants you to be, and what you are.

[@scapito]

I think Corgan said parts of the lyrics came from having to grow up too fast due to taking care of others that needed him in his family... he felt like he had missed some of his youth.

[@8cylinderstolife737]

@@scapito yes this is correct, for a portion of it and it is partly what framed his mental state to feel like he was never like anyone else. He was much more mature and different than those around him which I am sure caused him to just want to be… me

"Tonight, Tonight" , "Geek USA", "Today", "Disarm", "Zero", "Ava Adore", "Thru The Eyes of Ruby" and "X.I.U" (the last being a heavy heavy heavy song). The Smashing are very versatile, they have a mood of their own, really unique band. You either love them or hate them.

[@Kravis63]

This song has always had the same meaning to me personally but it gets more meaningful the older I get. To me this song from the time I was a teenager to now as a 40 year old, the song always makes me reminiscence about my past, all of it, the good and the bad. Then I’m left with the thought that I could have always made better and worse decisions but in the end l, I’m always just going to be… me.

He says that while the song doesn't have any continuity, it later made some sense to him, as he could see that it reflected what he was going through at the time.

[@uzi978]

This is from their 2nd album... which is where they broke out with "Cherub Rock" and "Disarm" and "Today"... the stuff from their first album "Gish" is more raw, and goes from soft and psychedelic to loud and angry. Check out "I Am One" and "Rhinoceros" -- they both have official videos.

[@chrisstorms7511]

This song is off of their very successful second album, not before they were famous, more in the height of their fame

[@alan73795]

Actuallly this is a well known song from the album Siamese Dream , same album that features "Today", "Cherub Rock" and big radio hit "Disarm". So they were actually well in the spotlight when this song was released and it became a concert staple in their live shows. If you want to hear earlier sounds, check out the earlier album Gish and the single "Rhinoceros".

[@kitoyobeni1]

To me, this is about a younger Billy struggling with self doubt; that conflict of perceived notions of who he should be, who he wants to be, and who he really is at heart. The world can be a cruel place until you learn to love yourself.

[@raymo6795]

I think Billy may have been a bit of a head case, and that is what makes his music great. As he got older and more successful, his music became more palatable to the mainstream, and mainstream oriented as he became more confident ..I am a fan

I know I’m a year late commenting on this. Porcelina is still one of my favorite songs from MCIS, or any album for that matter. It’s just exquisite from beginning to end.

And it’s so hard picking favorites because I love every song on the album for different reasons, but those two move me in a way I can’t describe.

[@sussychachi]

Smashing pumpkins are a very delicate sharp band with just enough emotions to make their songs meaningful sound wise, if you want more emotionless and less serious(less traditional)rock jam to Faith No More their music is about attitude and energy, and the passion for experimentation. I love all music so I can appreciate music that's more soft(serious) or with a meaning and then also appreciate the abstract creativity(emotionless) part of music like bands like FNM or Mr.bungle

[@PriestessOfNothing]

This album is what rocketed them to stardom. This song was never depressing to me, it was uplifting and hopeful. I think everybody takes something different away from it. That album is amazing, try Rocket, Hummer, Quiet, Geek USA, and Soma. But Mayonaise might be my favorite Pumpkins song.

Thanks for reacting to mayonnaise my fav. SP song for a couple reasons.. first the intro, listen for the layering.. he starts light then adds progressively stronger guitar as he builds to the power chords used in the rest of the song. few artists are better at the intro than billy corrigan. second, the lyrics. brad and lex got the meaning at the end, it's about feeling depressed. it's a good sign for both your mental health you didn't quite get it. it's easier for somebody who has lived with depression to recognize the theme. First Name pointed out billy didn't have a 'theme' in mind, he just wrote lines as he felt them in the moment. depression is sort of like a series of one liners, a lot of random thoughts and feeling that don't feel like they go together until you look back on it later... if you're a musical genius like billy you write a song about it and become a rock star... that solves all mental health issues :-)

Also, maybe try listening to the Strokes at some point. They have a lot of great songs, and were pretty big in the early 2000's. Think Lex might like them.

I had to work two solid weeks of overtime. I had heard this song pretty much when it was first released, and I loved it. But those overtime weeks, I would play this song over and over along the commute, back and forth to work, maybe four or five times each way. "How did you cope with all that overtime, Robert?" "Lots and lots of Mayonaise"

always been one of my favorite pumpkins songs

This was on the album that got them famous Siamese Dream. The next album was titled Melancholy & the Infinite Saddness if that helps at all.

Mellon Collie was the first Pumpkins album I owned as a 5 year old in 1995. I got into Siamese Dream later, so I worked backwards but this is my favorite song on Siamese Dream. I love James Iha’s songs from the Aeroplane box set also like The Boy and …Said Sadly

I've been a Pumpkins fan for about 28 years and I still don't know what Corgan meant by some of his lyrics, sometimes they defy analysis, but I know what they mean to me. To me the lyrics in Mayonaise have always been about it being ok to not fit in with everyone's else idea of what life should be about and that whenever I can feel more comfortable in myself, I will. I've never considered it a depressing song but more a hopeful and perhaps defiant one.

If you liked this song, then you have to listen the song "Soma", for me it's even better than Mayonaise.
