Ava Adore
The Smashing Pumpkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll always be my whore
You'll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Without you, there are no reasons left to find
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
You'll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
Drinking mercury to the mystery
Of all that you should ever leave behind
In time
In you, I see dirty
In you, I count stars
In you, I feel so pretty
In you, I taste God
In you, I feel so hungry
In you, I crash cars
We must never be apart
I'm drinking mercury
To the mystery
Of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
In time
We must never be apart
And you'll always be my whore
'Cause you're the one that I adore
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
In you, I feel so dirty
In you, I crash cars
In you, I feel so pretty
In you, I taste god
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
We must never be apart (ah, ah, ah)
The Smashing Pumpkins' song "Ava Adore" is a haunting ode to obsession, love, and possession. The lyrics drip with a sense of possessiveness, with the singer proclaiming their love for Ava and their desire to keep her close and never be apart. However, this love is toxic, with references to death, murder, and pulling crooked teeth giving a disturbing undertone to the song.
The opening lines, "It's you that I adore / You'll always be my whore / You'll be a mother to my child / And a child to my heart" suggest that the singer sees Ava as someone to possess and control. They want her to be a mother to their child and a child to their heart, blurring the line between love and possession.
The lines "And I'll pull your crooked teeth / You'll be perfect just like me / You'll be a lover in my bed / And a gun to my head" show the dark and twisted nature of the singer's desire for Ava. They want to control her completely, to make her perfect like them, and to use her as a lover and a weapon. The chorus repeats the line "We must never be apart", emphasizing the possessive nature of the singer's love.
Overall, "Ava Adore" is a disturbing and eerie exploration of possession and control in a romantic relationship.

Wow, I never knew that and I agree.
The bass and drums to my ear is identical.
As are some of the drawn-out lyrics.
Two different songs with definite instrumentals and vocals that are identical.
Well picked up!

He's Billy fucking Corgan. A lyrical genius and good musician to boot. He can dress like a vampire and sing weird or whatever and it's just perfect because he owns it.
