Stand Inside Your Love

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable, impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable, insufferable

But for the last time
Your everything that I
Want and asked for
You're all that I'd dreamed

Who wouldn't be 
The one you love
Who wouldn't
Stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of

A pure soul
And beautiful
You

Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart

And for the first time
I feel as though I am
Reborn in my mind
Recast as child
And mystic sage

Who wouldn't be 
The one you love
Who wouldn't
Stand inside your love

And for the first time
I'm telling you how much
I need and bleed for you
You're every move
And waking sound
I wrap my wire around
Your heart and your mine
You're mine forever, now

Who wouldn't
The one you love and live for
Who wouldn't
Stand inside your love
And die for
Who wouldn't be
The one you love

Video Info: Directed by Wiz. The concept is that of the band as chess pieces. More of a silent movie look to it, shot in black and white with a unique look to it. The story goes basically, girl is slave of horrible blob (a fat guy who reminds me of Jabba-The Hut), girl dances for blob. Billy releases girl, they fly off together. Includes an appearance by Yelena Yemchuk-Billy's girlfriend. The makeup resembles the Adore girl's makeup. A quote appears at the start of the video, "The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death"- Oscar Wilde. According to Sarah, who was researching about the video, this quote "comes from the play Salome, about the biblical story of the stepdaughter of Herod, who danced the dance of the 7 veils in order to kill Jean the Baptist so her mother could wed herod, or something like that. Anyway, after reading the play, I'm fairly sure that the video is somewhat based both on it as well as the pictures that originally went with the play in the 1900s, by Aubrey Beardsley." Won Most Visionary Video award at the 2000 Vh1 Fashion Awards.

Other Info: This song was first played during "The Arising" club tour, which marked the return of Jimmy Chamberlin to the band. This is what Billy has to say about the song in an interview with MTV: "Well, 'Stand Inside Your Love' is one of those rare songs that seems to write itself really quickly," Corgan said. "It probably only took me about 20 minutes to write the song, but those songs always seem to be the ones that capture something that if I work on it for too long, it sort of messes itself up."

"So, 'Disarm,' 'Today,' 'Drown,' 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings,' '1979,' 'Ava Adore,' those are all the songs that came to me the quickest. As far as the song goes, it's sort of a love song that rocks, which is pretty rare, even for me. And I even got my girlfriend dancing in the video, so it's all a tribute to my girlfriend, I guess."
