Real Love
Smashing Pumpkins (SP) Lyrics

Fall into the century on a supersonic cross
Travel into the future at a great speed

Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss
She is in pain but finds peace in silence, going through an unending loss

Calling out I won't surrender a locket of her hair
Refusing to let go of a precious memory symbolized by a lock of hair

Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs
Understanding and supporting her pure joys while descending the stairs

Into the dark again To feel alive again, and wait for
Going back to the unknown to feel stimulated and refreshed while waiting for

Real love Or is it me you're after Is it time Cause it's now or never Real love Real love forever Real love
Yearning for sincere love that is not just desire or convenience, hoping it's not too late to find it and that it lasts forever

Born of the ball and chain Into a world sustained with sorrow
Being trapped in a cycle of suffering, growing up in a world full of sadness

A real touch we speak in Is it ours Or is it what we're seekin' Real love
Wondering if a genuine connection is present or just something desired that isn't authentic

In the eyes, behold and you'll find the 21st century You detonate her will and her widowed speech
Looking into someone's eyes reveals the present era, and provoking them to speak honestly and without inhibition

Buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin That held her mother's first kiss in a nameless dream
Hiding a precious keepsake in the darkness outside, a tin containing a memory of her mother's romantic experience

Fall down the stairs again To feel alive against tomorrow
Falling down the stairs once more to feel alive, as a way of preparing for the next day

Is it love Or just yours to treasure Real love Real love Real love
Questioning if it's truly love or something kept selfishly as a treasure, still longing for authentic love

We never listen Real love will listen And tell her of a fortune Real love is riches
Acknowledging human incapacity to hear, but real love will not only listen but also reveal treasures for the beloved one

Scratch through the changes Real love is nameless So tired and hopeless Real love is painless
Enduring the hardships and uncertainties of life; real love has no labels and is blissful

Nobody mentions We ever move to collect The solar questions Demon scorn should not relax The laws of gravity Real love
Reminding that some things are never discussed or tackled, we should seek answers to unanswered mysteries; we shouldn't let negativity affect us, and the physics of love is real
