Stand Inside Your Love

LyricsInformation
you and me
meant to be
immutable
impossible
it's destiny
pure lunacy
incalculable
insufferable
but for the last time
you're 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
for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
your every move and waking sound in my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart
and your mind
you're mine forever now
who wouldn't be 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

Billy Corgan: (MTV.com 4/26/00)

    "Well, 'Stand Inside Your Love' is one of those rare songs that seems to write itself really quickly. 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... 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."

Billy Corgan: (WRIF Detroit 4/22/00)

    "oh, you're talking about the king, the nipple rubbing king. See, the basic story is he's the king of this sort of, strange world. And my girlfriend, who's in the video is the courtesean of the court. And it's like a salome thing. She comes out and dances and whips the crowd into a sexual frenzy. And I have to come out and save her. So she's arousing the king."

Billy Corgan: (from the Machina promo interview CD)

    "'Stand Inside Your Love' was probably the only song of the entire Machina sessions that we didn't tamper with. Literally [I] wrote the song, came in, the band learned it, we fleshed out whatever little arrangements and drum things, rehearsed it, recorded a rough version of it, and never changed a thing after that."

Winner of "Visionary Video" from VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards 2000.
