Smashing Pumpkins - Alienation Lyrics
So say, there goes my wishing tree
I then chose this outer space
And the idyllic swing on which I'd swung from
Exchanged for Pyrric disgrace
All hail, there's no spinning back
From this empire man cannot name
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, oh
Of thee I sing
For every one of you
There dwells a trillion stars
As with any true regret
Which deigns how I've arrived
Via an old, archaic sling-shot
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, alienation
Mourn the movement, fear penetration
Alienation, oh
Of thee I sing
Yet I sing, how does a wishing tree run dry?
Child, you stand remembrance in my mind
The embrace of those who loved you cannot die
Safe beyond the regents and their hive
Safe from clutch of jackals and plus'd-mind crimes
Never yielding
For every one of you
There dwells a trillion stars
Lighting way from truth to absolute
Truth gets thumped by charge
Which deigns how I've arrived
As one atom 'tis but a grain of sand
And those lost are never forgotten
Yet may return
Home is where you start
And end your days in alienation
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, alienation
Mourn the movement, fear penetration
Alienation, oh
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing

Smashing Pumpkins Alienation Comments
I think this is some of Billy's best stuff.
Solara, Silvery Sometimes Ghosts and Alienation are definetly my favorites so far. Cannot wait until V.2!
I'd love this album so much more if they released it as an E.P. with the tracklist as:
1) Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)
2) Travels
3) Alienation
4) With Sympathy
Seriously, go back to this album and skip all the other tracks, you'll be hearing a piece of work more consistent and less weak.
i love it as a full album
Me too.
Beautiful and brilliant as always. Welcome back Jimmy & James 🖤
This is my fave song on the album.
First time listening to this song. Writing as I listen. Like the drums. Has a good vibe I think. I like the melody... Not the usual pumpkins sound, but still feels good. Half way through.... Guitars sound nice and trippy. Little bit of a change here, back to the alienation lyrics I'm beginning to really love. Sounds like a piano outro.....
Good tune. Different. Likey!
One word: Yes.
It took a few listens but Alienation is such a fantastic song, one of the best on the Album for me. The verse is glorious.
ShaunsSky I came to that conclusion too. At first I thought this album was boring (I thought that of every Pumpkins record initially). The first few singles didn’t feel like that they were getting to anything. I love this song the most along with Marchin’ On afterwards. It just feels like it’s the way it should be!
