About

One of the harder tracks from the album, “Siva” was surprisingly written and demoed on an acoustic guitar. “Siva” is most easily recognized from the opening guitar riff, one that writer/composer Billy Corgan compares aesthetically to Led Zeppelin’s power riff on “Whole Lotta Love”.

Siva Lyrics

[Verse]
I spin off and lose my head
Throwing stray, a spark instead
Gather strength down in my heel
And dig it in the world I peel

[Pre-Chorus]
Way down deep and in my heart
Lies a soul that’s torn apart
Tell me, tell me what you’re after
I just want to get there faster

[Chorus]
I don’t live, I inhale
I don’t give, I unveil
Don’t wanna live in your misery
I don’t live, I inhale

[Bridge]
Sprinkle all my kisses on your head
Stars full of wishes fill our beds
She said, "I’m dead"

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
All this pain smothers me
Like a bomb that you can’t see
Tell me, tell me what you’re after
I just want to get there faster
You!

[Chorus]
I don’t live, I inhale
I don’t give, I unveil
I don’t live, I inhale
I don’t live

A misspell on Shiva the inhaler, the loving destroyer. A riff born whilst working away at the used record store on Broadway, watching humanity walk by dying.

Why is the song called "Siva"?

Originally, Billy Corgan had the name Shiva, without knowing it referred to a Hindu deity. Once he realized this, he changed it to “Siva.” This all occurred before this song was even written however.
