to eternity
your heart may cast me down
to hell and down(?)
but lately it's your love
its comdemnation enough
identify
please identify
if it's me you want
standing by your side
identify
these tears of mine
am I lonely
or am I just alive
and let ?
who and ?
of love
your hands were speaking no
I felt the movement go
the ice was breaking so
I wonder why that I'd
identify with you my love
to leave me empty
and see if I'd survive
for every questioned hour
for every second devoured
you let me wonder you
into a myth that i missed
identify
please identify
if it's me you want
standing by your side
identify
these tears of mine
am i lonely
or am i just alive
am i lonely
or am i just alive

Billy Corgan: (San Francisco Chronicle 1999)
- "The record company didn't want somebody obscure. I thought the
way Natalie sings and her personality would really put
the song across. From what I wrote and demoed, she
got it across probably better than I could. I think she
was the perfect choice. I was just looking for somebody
great to sing the song. I wasn't looking for anything
else. I wasn't looking for credibility bonus points. To her
credit, she's coming off a pretty big pop crossover hit.
For her to do a pretty fucking dark song for a strange
movie, it's like the risk is much more hers than mine."
Billy Corgan: (Sonicnet 7/99)
-
"Back in the day, people used to write songs that were directly connected to a movie's score. The music
for 'Identity' came from one of the love scenes in the movie."
