- By Starlight LyricsBy starlight I'll kiss you
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go, what will we do?
Soon said I, will know
Dead eyes, are you just like me?
Cause her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, are you just like me?
And all along, we knew we'd carry on
Just to belong
By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty, my life has been untrue
And does she really know, who I really am?
Does she really know me at last
Dead eyes, are you just like me?
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go, what will we do?
Soon said I, will know
Dead eyes, are you just like me?
Cause her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, are you just like me?
Just to belong
By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty, my life has been untrue
And does she really know, who I really am?
Does she really know me at last
Dead eyes, are you just like me?

When we try to interpret the meaning, the piece 'By Starlight' by The Smashing Pumpkins conveys a feeling of nothingness and self-discovery. The singer, with the help of the metaphor of 'dead eyes', shows a complete absence of feeling or relationship. The song mainly focuses on the singer's inner journey, his angst, loneliness, love and despair. Similarly, the track keeps on with the paradox of connection and understanding, forgetfulness and identity, and eventually sameness and continuity. The words give voice to these feelings of emotional void and alienation which could be very powerful for the young crowd. Moreover, the ongoing reference to 'dead eyes' might be rather off-putting for some and hence the song could receive a PG-13 rating due to its adult themes and visuals.
