Smashing Pumpkins - Rotten Apples Lyrics






Dirty your face
With longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart
And love her when your love goes unrequited

Where the cool winds blow
I must surely go
For my love calls me low to drag her from the depths of my soul
When will I see her, again?
The other-side, of friends
The darkened claws, of death
The empty breath, desire

Dirty your face
With longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart
And love her when your love goes unrequited

Restless in my speech
And rootless in my teach
So vacant in my breach
I drive the dirt of her garden
Sorrow
She'll never listen, again
No other lovers, to bend
Just rotten apples, to eat
Just lettered, yellowed distant scorn

Dirty your face
With longing and grace, God-given
Suffer her heart
And love her when your love goes unrequited

Life just fades away, purity just begs
Dust to dust, we're wired into sadness..

    No matter where you are
    I can still hear you when you drown
    You've traveled very far
    Just to see if I'll come around
    When I'm down
    All of those yesterdays
    Coming down
    No matter where you are
    I can still hear you when you dream
    You traveled very far
    You traveled far, like a star
    And you are
    All of those yesterdays
    Coming down
    Is it something someone said?
    Was it something someone said?
    Yesterday the sky was you
    And I still feel the same
    Nothing left for me to do
    And I still feel the same
    I wish, I wish I could fly
    I wish, I wish I could lie
    I will, I will try
    I will, I will
    Goodbye

    Tell me why Billy could steal anyone’s girl during the Gish era.

    F.... H....

    He had really nice hair and looked great! (No homo)

  18. A.... B....

    Drums at the end tho,. Jimmy Chamberlain amazing

  19. M.... C....

    Billy Cortan....a modern genius. Had it all handled, from the arrangements to the cover art. 😄

  20. d.... s....

    Singles soundtrack was the shiz

  21. g.... ....

    Those of us with gray hair may remember when mtv was searching for the next big thing they were playing a lot of great music by a lot of forgotten bands sp is by no means a forgotten band but perhaps this song could be categorized as such

  22. C.... S....

    At 1:15 I can close my eyes but I know everything is in the right place where it need to be !

  23. K.... M....

    Back when people wrote real songs. Genius.

  24. N.... s....

    i’ll never forget crying my eyes out to this song on repeat while going on a walk

  25. A.... B....

    For those who don't know, there is a guitar solo at the end that is comprised of dueling guitar feedback awesomeness that sounds otherworldly and beautiful. You must find the whole version of this song and enjoy it...

  26. T.... D....

    I remembered hearing this song when my uncle gave me a bunch of his old CDs in 2006. Some of them included Siamese Dream (Smashing Pumpkins), Rotten Apples (Smashing Pumpkins), Core (STP), Liquid Swords (GZA), and Nothing’s Shocking (Jane’s Addiction). This song has always stuck out to me and is one of the few songs that really bring me back to my childhood.

    T.... D....

    It's a stand out song for sure. Something special about this piece of music. That is beautiful <3 I only just heard it for the first time now, as an adult. Feels like I have known it my whole life.

    T.... D....

    @Emma Paton To be fair Nothing Shocking is great too.

  27. D.... S....

    I “Drown” in sound.

  28. J.... R....

    the riff in this song is just amazing...

  29. J.... S....

    GOODBYE!!!

  30. N.... B....

    Thanks.

  31. C.... L....

    Samurai Cop brought me here! First SP song I ever heard. Someone gave me the CD to listen to & I still love him and the song😀

  32. R.... o....

    01:15 😛

  33. M.... ....

    What? What? 4:31? No. 👎🏼

  34. D.... B....

    Remembering to come back here brought me back here.

  35. B.... S....

    Whenever you bought a Pumpkins Album it would be loaded the good songs. Other bands might have one or two good songs on an album with the other nine or so being pretty disappointing.

  36. d.... T....

    His hair has drowned but this song still remain

  37. P.... I....

    He was a vision years ago wow. Billy!

  38. Y.... s....

  48. T.... W....

  50. F.... N....

    Muy buena rolita

  51. W.... ....

    What if people still made music this good today?

  52. D.... S....

    My crystal ball just told me once you begin to do the things you already know you should be doing that your life is going to take a glorious turn.

  53. D.... H....

    Gish has always and still is my favorite Smashing Pumpkins album.

  54. t.... j....

    Intense memories the Pumpkins conjure up.

  57. T.... B....

    First time i heard this was after my first breakup

    T.... B....

    Same man, that's hurts

  58. T.... W....

    20 yrs ago a young lady asked me about the "Singles" soundtrack.
    In a bar. Drunk.

    T.... W....

    Tj White Huh?

    T.... W....

    Big Sky Blue “Singles” was a movie. It featured “Drown” in its soundtrack.

    T.... W....

    And no one cares....

    T.... W....

    I care... I hiked up Mt St. Helens with this in my Walkman, got lost from my group... was alone on the mountain and just kept heading up. Probably about 1994? I may be off a year... but this was one of those songs that made me touch death and see all its beauty and horror and this stupid version cuts out the feedback solo and now I wanna go break shit

  59. A.... D....

    Smashing Pumpkins is one of the best bands ever. I am old and I don't make snarky comments. This band kinda saved me.

  60. T.... B....

    Why can't I go to sleep in a twilight star while this is playing and wake up and be 14 again? Damn.

    C.... S....

    Chris Simpson god do I feel the same way. I can still smell it, taste it like it was yesterday. Those days were the best huh? Damn I miss the early 90’s when I was 14.

    C.... S....

    @daniel radar paredes All we can do is dream I guess, because we can't get it back. It sucks man.

    C.... S....

    Yeah, back when farcebook wasn't invented and people actual knew how to socialise and dream big.

    Living now is like walking through an urban soulless desert.

  67. J.... M....

  81. K.... F....

    If you dig this song or finding new songs of all genres and people like you drop a song you love or a thought on the current music landscape at the all music subreddit. Thanks Peace and love

  83. F.... S....

    The most 90's guitar riff ever

  84. G.... ....

    I tried so hard to cleanse these regrets

  85. G.... ....

    Pink ribbon scars that never forget

  86. G.... ....

    I love the lyrics of today

  87. G.... ....

    I think today is my favorite

  88. G.... ....

    Big time

  89. G.... ....

    Love music

  90. G.... ....

    This one is a personal favorite. Dope

  91. n.... ....

    I like Collective Soul better.

  92. C.... P....

    this is a bullshit edit of a beautiful, perfect-length song.

  93. s.... ....

    I thought the Asian guy was a girl. XD that would've been awesome if he was, then d'arcy wouldnt have felt so lonely xD

    s.... ....

    Poor D'Arcy didn't have it so great. Though as far as I know, I'm pretty sure she and James were good friends throughout her time in the band. They did date in the earlier years, but still, I'm pretty certain James made her a lot less lonely than she would have been otherwise.

  94. T.... W....

    I wish I wish , I could fly.

  95. Y.... s....

    weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. and everclear.
