Smashing Pumpkins Rocket Lyrics (HQ)

I do not own this song
All rights go to the Smashing Pumpkins

[@dan91lx18]

One of their greatest songs in my opinion

[@GTH321]

Absolutely

[@mcbgoose07]

I’ve been listening to this song since 93 and I never knew it was so deep

[@studioredband2686]

My fav song of all time.

[@tedgrowney8981]

Except they messed up on two lines. It’s supposed to be A crown of thorns, an image formed, behold.

[@andrewhill4588]

The captains song.

[@stuffandjunkanduhh5049]

Haha same here. I was always more focused on learning the guitar parts than the lyrics

[@TickleFingers]

This song is a tough nut to crack. The simple minded explanation is that it's about suicide, but I think it's about transcending one's self imposed restrictions that have been gained from the social construct. Breaking out of your comfort zone and becoming that which you want to be, hence the lines "no more lies" and "I shall be free of those voices inside me". The very name of the song, Rocket, is a metaphor for leaving to find something new. It's a great song! One of my favorites for just shy of 3 decades now.

[@0ptomisticprime]

Oooh I like that. About transcending❤

[@thomasgentry9624]

It's not a template for anything. It's a template for being. It makes as much sense as what I just said

[@raindeerprojekt4119]

Just let it breathe around you...

[@dkarecki941]

Perhaps. Thats the funny thing about writing music, could mean different things to different people. I suppose the real question is what does it mean to you. I always disliked when people asked me what we wrote was about. It’s like visual art, you tell me.

[@jakeenan]

Such a brilliantly crafted song. I love how everything is off beat except for the chorus parts and how that pull n' push flows together seamlessly. Master craftsmen at work.

[@aplaguedoctor406]

The moon is out The stars invite, I think I'll leave Tonight..... This is a very freeing song. BC is an amazing guitar player, but an even better lyricist

[@normliwanag5685]

Structure of this masterpiece is so unique

[@TheSpecialTimes]

"I shall be free!"

[@ProspectFilmRoom]

My favorite Pumpkins song. Always special to me.

[@jeffreyhall3298]

I wish everyone would do lyric videos this way.

[@TheViper1324]

how exactly

[@jeffreyhall3298]

Large, standard font, black background, no embellishment. Just lyrics appearing immediately when you hear them in the song. This may be taking it too far, but each phrase appears as it's meant to be heard without too few or too many words onscreen at once.

[@AltCTRLF8]

like a karaoke video

[@AltCTRLF8]

just need the bouncing dot

[@clisk35]

My favorite pumpkins song..

[@TheBeavadelic]

It's a tie between this & Cherub Rock for me lol

[@steveg1107]

And I thought that I was the only one.

[@dkarecki941]

Bones Brigade, nice. Mine is……..,, Anything off Gish!

[@bryanshaughnessy8043]

Hearbreak....nostalgia..and a hopeful optimism for a better tommrow....the 90s so similar to the 60s in musical outlook..and after the year we all had..sometimes it just enuff to keep you going hopefully better days to come

[@askeletonsdaisy2440]

A metaphysical suicide. Killing what you've become & rediscovering your true self.

[@eLiFILMSinc]

Perfectly describes what ive recently been through

[@honeystiletto7674]

Skeleton's Daisy Damn.... I love that explanation! Hits home, actually❤️

[@ChuckImania]

this reminds me of an ego death I experience on mushrooms lol

[@FernandoVieira-bx9dv]

Always gives me goosebumps ...

[@Joey-kv6qr]

Love (Love) (Love) (Love) Bleed in your own light Dream of your own life I miss me I miss everything I'll never be And on, and on I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure Deep inside my heart No more lies A crown of horns An image formed deformed The mark I've borne A mark of scorn to you Consume my love, devour my hate Only powers my escape The moon is out the stars invite I think I'll leave tonight Soon I'll find myself alone To relax and fade away Do you know what's coming down Do you know I couldn't stay free? I shall be free I shall be free I shall be free I shall be free Free, free Free of those voices inside me I shall be free I shall be free

[@FernandoVieira-bx9dv]

Thanks. Beautiful and Sad.

[@raindeerprojekt4119]

Flickers of My best friend and us in his room in 1994 Just Melting into the moment.... Miss ya Rich Barton. We had the Balance

[@customconcern1]

James Iha’s pre bending is so good in this one.

[@pabloucecilio]

It’s a miracle I had come this far.

[@AlohaMilton]

How the fuck this wasn't the theme to Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is just incomprehensible

[@TheOUboy]

Billy Corgan: "There's this line from the song 'Rocket': 'Bleed in your own light.' I wanna f---in' bleed in my own light, not in Kurt Cobain's, not in Perry Farrell's. I wanna go down in my own f---in' ship. That's what I'm about."

[@rolasg3278]

site the source of the quote please

[@TheOUboy]

@@rolasg3278 He said it in an interview. He was talking about how people tried to call them the new Nirvana etc. If you go to Song Facts they have the quoate, but he did interview so long ago I can't tell you who he was being interviewed by. I am sure it is somewhere on the Internet and if you do a little leg work you can see the complete interview.

[@advertisebigforless]

Love the Smashing Pumpkins! I saw their show tonight in St Louis and it was GREAT! Go see them.. They rocked the house out on a sold out show. They still got it!

[@peytondooley2031]

I wanted to go so bad hope you had fun!

[@jdubs1007]

Thanks Mr. Viper. Good job

[@joannjeanette8171]

To me this song and cherub rock are all you need from this band and your be ok

[@DERIC4REAL328]

Consume my love devour my hate only powers my escape.

[@georgetaylor2024]

Awesome song

[@guldglubber8334]

Blue men always like this song! I always hear this song when riding my motorcycle!

[@Amberclayt0n]

Guld Glubber ❤❤❤

[@steveg1107]

I put this song on loop on my bike.

[@notmyrealnombre]

I've only met one real SP fan in my life. Where the fuck y'all at?

[@corkydelarge4440]

After Guns and Roses left the scene, Smashing Pumpkins filled the void for rock music with two different guitar parts. There arent as many as you would think.

[@alexfernandohuenten1374]

bily is idol.

[@kyle3863]

Good song

[@moonontheman1657]

This is for you my brain.....Oh why do you torment me so?

[@darthnihilus511]

I have loved this song for decades and never knew what he was saying. Cuz it really doesn’t matter, they never mean what you think anyway. The voice is just another instrument making sounds, amazing sounds!

[@ZhangXiaoYing-ur6tn]

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 d'arcy

[@sergiojavierbasic6939]

Esta canción trata de decir de que cantando serás feliz y exitoso

[@climbers1376]

Love it

[@studioredband2686]

Free of those forces inside of me yeah

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

When HQ just means loud

[@TheFuzzyboy1976]

I really feel this song is about suicide , the only way to free yourself from this world

[@Leri-K]

You (we all) die anyway. It's about a liberation of mind and soul. Cheers!

[@chillychanmedia1644]

Soon I'll find myself alone To relax and fade away Do you know what's coming down Do you know I couldn't stay free?

[@drunkviggo7263]

Their hits have aged sofa king well.

[@mokfive6112]

0.5 speed only

[@lisaortiz5393]

This a song about a sinner who is deeply sorrowful and repents and finally accepts Jesus as a personal savior and transcends into salvation!!

[@ryansean4969]

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Steve Albini produced this album

[@rolandsallinger2170]

Butch Vig produced it, with Billy playing all the guitar parts for it..

[@neshmicc]

This video has the correct number of dislikes.

[@XyamaProductions]

Kurt Cocain yep

[@xoMiaBambinaxo]

that's a bad ass name! lool

[@emigrant1510]

3?

[@neshmicc]

1 year ago when I posted that comment this video had no dislikes.

[@emigrant1510]

Cracka Barrel Well, should have figured that out.

[@royfryman2196]

A suicide song...

[@herovillevlogs9044]

Roy Fryman Your out of line with your comment. Although I'd this obtains to you. YOUR LIFE IS ALWAYS WORTH IT.

[@thegoodrevtim]

It's not really a crazy interpretation of the lyrics. Not saying that's was intended by Billy Corgan, but it can easily be read that way.

[@nicholasfrundt4125]

Suicide in maybe a public way. About showing oneself to the world and using the controversy to escape the darkening facade of fame. No more lies...

[@timlewis6680]

I took it as a suicide song as well

[@ogam5]

......MORE like, one of REBIRTH / baptism, surrendering to who he TRULY is, a very Lennonesque sentiment (and the slightly FABS feel to it, UNDERSCORES as much.....)

[@jolynnefenstermacher7992]

INFJ

[@SinewRending]

Yes! I am one, too!

[@PaulHathaway]

It resonates with us...

[@kennclark5592]

Beautiful suicide song.
