Spoken: 'I really don't wanna look stupid when I'm sleeping I never really liked sunny days The black wings just reach out to me over a distance. General CommentNothing else to say that TAFH is one of the best song ever created. There are some spoken words in this song: at the beginning: 'I really don't wanna look stupid when I'm sleeping I never really liked sunny days The black wings just reach out to me over a distance. And I can feel the wind from the wings I see the clouds, I feel the ocean with my feet, and I'm home again It requires an ability to judge distance The airplane flies high.turns left, looks right After the first chorus: If I knew where I was going I would already be there (Laugh) I wish I had more time Judicious, beautiful, uh, demented, whatever I've always been afraid to die, but I think I'm more afraid to live And at the end: And in the heart I know you're there And in my heart I know you care And in my heart I know you don't. General CommentActually, I believe everyone here is wrong on this song. This song was actually written about the Pumpkins drummer, Jimmie Chamberlain! During the Melancholy tour on 1996, Chamberlain and touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin (who's sister is Lisa Melvoin from Prince's Revolution), were shooting up heroin in a New York hotel room that resulted in the overdose death of Melvoin on July 11th and subsequent firing of Chamberlain on July 17th.

This new limited deluxe edition of The Smashing Pumpkin's platinum-selling 1996 box set, THE AEROPLANE FLIES HIGH, features the original 33 track version.

The remainder of that tour on drums was filled by Matt Cameron from Soundgarden and Matt Walker of Filter. During the recording of Melancholy, the Pumpkins recorded over a hundred tracks, some of them rocked a lot harder and sounded better, but somehow didn't make it on the final cut for that double album. If you listen to the song 'Pastichio Medley' from the Zero EP, you can pick out the medley of 'The Aeroplane Flies High' which started out as a song with a different name. Corgan went on to record 'Aeroplane' after the tragic, and very stupid death of Jonathan Melvoin and Chamberlain's betrayal of the band with that incident clearly in mind.:-). General CommentTo me it's about how he's with a girl who he loves but knows the feelings aren't returned. Maybe she's doin some bad shit (maybe some kind of drug or something) and that might be why he says 'Always knew I couldn't save you' and about the idea that the feelings aren't returned, that may be the cause of the parts where he's singing,'Wishing you were real to me.'

I don't know. It all just reminds me of the girl I used to live with. I loved her, but felt she didn't love me. I never told her how I felt, and it always tormented me.

I was always 'disconnected by her smile'. Now when I hear this song, I feel that that's what he's going through when he wrote it. I may be way off, but this is just my interpretation and why it is so fucking beautiful to me that it makes me all teary eyed. And the speaches in the beginning and middle just sort of accent the lonliness I felt even though I had her with me. I never could say anything in fear of a damaged friendship. She did cocaine, and I knew I couldn't stop her. This song just seems so perfect.

Billy Corgan was a genius and he is great at projecting his feelings. He doesn't even have to make it obvious and the feelings you get from the way he sings and the way the music goes. It's just perfect. General Commentheheh, I know I write a lot.

But another way to view this song could be about drug use. 'The black wings carry me so high, up to meet you in the sky' maybe he's talkin about getting high with friends.

'Disconnected by your smile' perhaps another metaphor for the drugs and the line about disconnect a million miles may be about how the drug makes him feel like he's completely alienated from the rest of life. I don't know if Billy did drugs, not saying he did, so don't waste time trying to argue that point, just saying it's another way of looking at it for some of you out there. Personally i stick with my first opinion. I may be way off in both, only Billy truly knows what he was singing about. He's a great artist, though, and this song is beautifully tragic, no two ways about that fact. Take it easy and enjoy the music.
