The song’s title comes from the Galápagos Islands, made famous by Charles Darwin. Darwin’s observations on these islands led to the creation of the theory of evolution and his most famous work, On the Origins of Species.

Galapogos Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ain't it funny
How we pretend we're still a child
Softly stolen
Under our blanket skies
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And rescue me from me
And all that I believe
[Chorus]
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?
[Verse 2]
Carve out your heart
For keeps in an old oak tree
And hold me for goodbyes
And whispered lullabyes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And tell me I am still

[Chorus]
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too? Will you leave me too?
[Bridge]
Too late to turn back now, I'm runnin' out of sound
And I am changin', changin'
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
Is here with you
[Chorus]
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Would you leave me too? Would you leave me too?

What did The Smashing Pumpkins say about "Galapogos"?
I cannot recall what it was about Darwin’s fabled set of islands that led me to associate my crumbling marriage to them. Perhaps I was wondering if in the lure of a total and disconnected isolation we might better survive the onslaught of life’s ceaseless progress. Idealizing a failed romance can on...
