Smashing Pumpkins - Galapogos Lyrics






Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child
Softly stolen under our blanket skies
And rescue me from me, and all that I believe
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?

Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
And hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes
And tell me I am still
The man I'm supposed to be
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?

Too late to turn to turn back now, I'm running out of sound
And I'm changing, changing
And if we died right now, this fool you loved somehow
Is here with you
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
Would you leave me too?

    This song is fucking amazing. Too late to turn back now.....oh, how I wish I did.

  2. V.... M....

    Un pezzo della mia vita..

  3. B.... T....

    And tell me I am still, the man I'm supposed to be. That line gets me every time.

  4. J.... V....

  8. C.... R....

    RIP Sal Lupo

  9. M.... ....

    This song is painful but cathartic... makes me weep everytime like a little kid

  10. M.... ....

    I’m 24 and I’ve been in love twice but never a relationship, just two jerks who never really cared. Even if it’s heartbreaking, I wish I could just once experience being mutually and deeply in love with someone. I’m apparently a pretty girl, I’m big hearted with a deep soul as well, but nobody ever wants me that much :(

  11. C.... V....

    3:00 to 3:14 that dreamy guitar part sound relaxing and melancholic at the same time

  12. R.... K....

    Such a beautifully simple song

  13. M.... W....

    2020 and beyond...

  14. r.... g....

    I wish I had people in my life I could share this with.

    ... e do dia pra noite todas aquelas pessoas não te conhecem mais ... e chegam a desviar o olhar ...

  20. c.... ....

    Bam! from the first note, I'm 15 again! Amazing song.

  21. d.... ....

    This song is a good relisten. Definitely good highs and lows... but isn't that why we love all the songs ♡Sp

    Lyrics

    Ain't it
    Funny
    How we
    Pretend we're 
    Still a child
    Softly
    Stolen
    Under our 
    Blanket skies

    And rescue me from me
    And all that I believe

    I won't deny 
    The pain
    I won't deny 
    The change
    And should I 
    Fall from grace
    Here with you
    Will you leave me too?

    Carve out
    Your heart
    For keeps
    In an old oak tree
    And hold me
    For goodbyes
    And whispered lullabyes
    And tell me 
    I am still
    The man 
    I'm supposed to be

    I won't deny 
    The pain
    I won't deny 
    The change
    And should I fall 
    From grace here with you
    Will you leave me too
    Will you leave me too?

    Too late 
    To turn back now
    I'm running out of sound
    And I am changing, 
    Changing
    And if we died 
    Right now
    This fool you 
    Love somehow
    Is here with you

    I won't deny 
    The pain
    I won't deny 
    The change
    And should I fall 
    From grace here with you
    Would you leave me too?
    Would you leave me too?

  27. J.... O....

    se vida es real paz espresa todo amor es musica para refesional del persona del undo mundo

  28. m.... s....

  29. B.... ....

    my fav pumpkins song... awesome with headphones and nitrous

    B.... ....

  30. D.... H....

    You could hear his marriage ending in this song😢

  31. J.... B....

    As someone of Ecuadorian descent, this makes me very happy. I didn't realize it was possible to love Smashing Pumpkins more than I already did

    J.... B....

    this is galapOgos

  32. D.... L....

    Folks. We’ll never hear anything like this ever again. RIP genuine music

    D.... L....

    Doesn't look so unfortunately.

  33. S.... L....

    ♥️ spettacolo

  34. T.... F....

    This album created a landscape in my mind. Images of porcelina and the oceans, Galapagos, a night in ‘79. This was a true masterpiece and the last of its kind.

  35. a.... f....

    Billy Corgan is an aryan God

  36. N.... K....

    Reminds me of zoning out in the passenger seat of my buddy's Camry

  37. p.... ....

    Every single song on this double album could have been a standalone hit.

  38. M.... P....

    one of the best of smashing pumpkins

  39. S.... F....

    Adoro esta canción

  40. D.... N....

    ¡Galápagos! como el archipiélago en mi país, Ecuador/greetings for everybody

    D.... N....

    es Galapogos

    D.... N....

    @marvin silverman lo que sea, jajaja

    D.... N....

    @David Nikolalde incluso el que subio el video tambien se equivoca

  41. C.... G....

    This is and always will be my favorite album of all time. I lost my daughter 9 years ago. She was 7. Now I can barely listen to any of it, but I keep the cd in my car and tracks on my phone.

    C.... G....

    So sorry to hear Charlie. I lost my daughter at birth to midwife neglect/ malpractice. Her 8th birthday was just on Nov 28th 2019. So many pumpkins songs soared through my mind while in the hospital with her. Listening to Siamese Dream helped alot but only now can i listen to Mellon Collie its so intense. I feel your pain. Sending love. Billy soothes n heals. Wishing you peace along the bumpy agonizing road of grief💜💜💜💜

    C.... G....

    I can't even begin to fathom what that feels like mate. Music has saved many lives.

  42. N.... P....

    2019 and I am listening to absolute perfection and at 65 I know good bands my friends .

    N.... P....

    U're not alone friend..same here same here

  43. M.... F....

    Thank you for posting something real.

  44. j.... b....

    The album of a generation. There is nothing like this musically today, nothing. This album tears at your emotions, by doing this, makes it timeless. Im truly grateful to have grown up in this era. i was 15 when this came out. I remember running to the store to buy the CD, flipping through the cassette and reading the lyrics. Played it a 1000 times during the 90s. Still do today. So to all the new generation, or old, turn the lights out, get yourself a nice wine, relax, listen and let this music take you away to your dreams.

  45. M.... ....

    Μαγικό...

  46. J.... C....

    this was written to melody of song off of earlier album...

  47. D.... R....

    1995..2019🖤

  48. t.... ....

    Yep. Youth. RIP.

  49. J.... N....

    This is another song from the album that would soothe the shit outta my spirit when I was a depressed teenager that didn’t understand why so many cruel and twisted people were around me and in this world.

  50. A.... F....

    Jimmy brilliant as always

  51. M.... ....

    I love this song. It helped me through the darkest days of my life

  52. m.... ....

    Rescue me from me 🇮🇪💚

  53. A.... F....

    will you leave me too?

  54. M.... J....

    The ambient chord voicings sound vaguely John Mayer-ish here, especially with the Fender tone. I mean that in the best possible way.

  55. j.... h....

    anyone still listening in 2019?

    j.... h....

    Cloverfield someone always has to be the prick 🤐

    j.... h....

    Yes, for sure. Last day of 2019 and I’m listening now.

    j.... h....

    Nah 2020 mate

    j.... h....

  56. R.... ....

    Quel talent !

  57. K.... 1....

    Another Gem in this album, you can feel all of the emotion coming from Billy Corgan. Orchestrated brilliantly in everyway. 2019 is looking to be an amazing year, Stay Blessed Everyone. 🙏🎧

  58. C.... ....

    Should be in the Life is Strange 3 soundtrack

  59. M.... S....

    2019 presente Brazil ♥️

  60. d.... s....

    Gracias SP!

  61. S.... ....

    Can't wait for the new album

  62. L.... B....

    Discovering this song in a night of infinite sadness.... perfect

  63. W.... C....

    2019 ! ⭐🌟🌠

  64. p.... ....

    This was back in the day when we tripped shrooms, wore flannel shirts, smoked pot, made average grades, dated multiple girls, got in bar fights, loved life and youth and didn't know how good we had it :)

  65. A.... A....

    Think if you turn on the radio and discover a song like that created in 2019 ... it would be a breath of happiness

  66. S.... ....

    I want to numb the pain

  67. y.... j....

    am i sleeping?? am i dreaming?

  68. J.... D....

    Back then you go to a record store and pre listen to an album. Never did that with the pumpkins. Bought the cd on the spot

    J.... D....

    i bought every album from them

    J.... D....

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Complete forgot about that.

  69. J.... D....

    Remember Every place i have been too. Remember Who i was with back then en now.
    Just by listening to a pumpkins album.
    I am 40y ol right now. Love the pumpkins since i was a little youth.
    Where did time went... Out there in space

    J.... D....

    Into dust I guess.

  70. J.... D....

    The beauty of the pumpkins, is the fact that each album is a Diamond. And captures the time perfectly.
    Gish gives you the young i dont care vibe.
    Siamese Dreams gives you the feeling of the darkside in you.
    Melon collie gives you that been there done that feeling, timeless masterpeace

  71. G.... V....

    I know some people find Corgan's voice annoying but I think its pretty emotional and really makes pumpkins' music powerful

    G.... V....

    Its an awesome voice for this group.

  72. D.... ....

    3:00 to 3:16 is fucking beautiful, should have been longer

    D.... ....

    If you like that bit... you'll love what he is doing in Pisces Iscariot. Another change your life album!

  73. c.... ....

    anyone here 2019? its still enchanting

    c.... ....

    And should I fall from Grace, here with you...

    c.... ....

    Everything Pumpkins is amazing

  74. I.... ....

    We close our nights with smiles

    I.... ....

    Put your dreams where they can grow ... to tell when time is one day owned

    I.... ....

    Time just decided to fly on bye

  75. N.... ....

    This is so beautiful it hurts. Really.

  76. R.... S....

    this keep reminding me of the lost love I had

  77. F.... ....

    Seriously, do people know how good this song is?

    I don't mean to sound like I have the definitive opinion on music or anything, but jesus christ, this song should be high up on every best of list for the Pumpkins. Yet I feel like no one ever puts it up there besides me.

    F.... ....

    This and Muzzle following... most bands would sell their souls to write such songs.

    F.... ....

    It's taken me almost 25 years, I listened to this in elementary school when it first came out. And only this week am i recognizing this song for whay it is. Absolute perfection.

  78. J.... B....

    time is an illusion. man made. only the present tense exists.

  79. A.... J....

    Mucho important album to me. 46 years old. Punk rock singer/guitar player in a local band, masters degree, but never felt so good as when this came out.

  80. M.... B....

    Anyone still listening in 2019?

  81. 9.... ....

    Love the drums

  82. e.... m....

    MIKE TYSON

  87. F.... Z....

    Meravigliosa..Quanti ricordi...la mia adolescenza è stata scandita da queste note struggenti...

  88. M.... M....

    So sad so good

  89. S.... Z....

    I love "should I fall from grace"

    Taken by itself, it can be interpreted as "if I fall from grace" or asking someone "what do you think? Should I fall from grace?"

  90. B.... ....

    I read the lyrics so much I can remember the smell this album had

  91. B.... K....

    Their music is story telling.

  92. A.... I....

    Talk about songwriting.. what a talent

    A.... I....
