Silvery Sometimes
The Smashing Pumpkins Lyrics

Blur like a rocket
Move swiftly and with intense energy, like a rocket

Torch like a dying sun
Burn brightly and fiercely, resembling a sun in its final stages

Snap like a dragon
Break or react with sudden force, comparable to a powerful mythical creature

Dive like a pelican
Plunge rapidly and gracefully, similar to how a pelican dives for fish

Kingdoms of my kingdom come
Realms within my own domain are being established

Skip like a prophet
Move forward joyfully and prophetically, anticipating the future

Spit like a poet's gun
Express emotions and thoughts forcefully, as a poet would through words

But say how long can this go on?
Question the duration of the current situation

Stumbling before you speak
Losing composure or coherence before expressing oneself

Stunning and stunning and stunning the black
Impress and overwhelm the darkness or bleakness that surrounds

You turn turncoat
Betray and switch sides or loyalties

Inward to seek out all your hopes
Look internally for aspirations and desires

It's your signals that hurt me most
The signs or indications you give cause the most pain

We're in the middle
Currently positioned between extremes or uncertain circumstances

We're in the middle, Ghosts
We exist in a state of transition or limbo, almost like apparitions

Rue like a tyrant
Express sorrow or regret in a domineering manner

Make like a valentine
Craft or create something with affectionate intent, like a valentine

Tear like a siren
Cause intense anguish or distress, reminiscent of the sound of a siren

Sulk like a sunken mine
Be in a state of gloomy withdrawal, similar to a collapsed or abandoned mine

Row like a felon
Engage in a conflict or struggle, resembling the actions of a criminal

Drown like a captain's son
Succumb to overwhelming circumstances, like the child of a captain losing their life at sea

We're in the middle Ghosts
We exist in an intermediate state, reminiscent of spirits or apparitions

Stunning and stunning with canons to lead
Overwhelming and awe-inspiring with powerful weapons or artillery in the forefront

And tigers tight
Moving with intensity and urgency, like tightly wound tigers

You scan the fields, someone dies tonight
Survey the surroundings, anticipating the loss of a life that will occur soon

It's tragic, but at least it's not you
Although unfortunate, the situation is comforting in the sense that one's own life is not at risk
