While Billy Corgan himself has revealed very little regarding the meaning behind the lyrics, the theme of “Tonight, Tonight” is one of hope. To find the courage to lose oneself in the moment where all is possible.
The little information Corgan has given can be found in the 2012 liner notes:

Tonight, Tonight Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Believe, believe in me
Believe, believe
[Chorus 1]
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight
Tonight
[Verse 2]
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born
[Pre-Chorus]
Believe, believe in me
Believe, believe
[Chorus 2]
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight, tonight
[Bridge]
We'll crucify the insincere tonight (Tonight)
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight (Tonight)
We'll find a way to offer up the night (Tonight)
The indescribable moments of your life (Tonight)
The impossible is possible tonight (Tonight)
Believe in me as I believe in you
[Outro]

What did The Smashing Pumpkins say about "Tonight, Tonight"?
Designed from the get-go to be a Mod throwback, ‘Tonite’ started out in a far lower key; lacking then the cut time verses that became its most recognizable signpost. The tune lingered around on the edges of a whole host of ideas until by chance I heard an orchestral fire in the aching changes; which...
How was this song recorded given there seems to be a full orchestra playing?
That’s how I came to spend 4 days of my life being told ‘the rules’ for what classical types would and wouldn’t play as written. The string session itself was a harrowing affair; 30 foreigners on our rock and roll turf stuffed into the longwise expanse of 2 studio chambers. One noble scruff pulled m...
How did critics react to "Tonight, Tonight"?
Spin, like just about every other publication, had great things to say about this song:
Written by Billy Corgan for Billy Corgan as an encouraging note about narrowly escaping his abusive past (‘We’ll find a way to offer up the night / The indescribable moments of your life’), ‘Tonight, Tonight’ gr...
