You just reach a point sometimes with somebody where it just doesn't work

Billy Corgan, the enigmatic frontman of the iconic alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, is known for his introspective and often cryptic lyrics that delve into themes of love, loss, and existential angst. One recurring theme in Corgan's songwriting is the idea of reaching a breaking point in a relationship where it becomes clear that things just aren't working anymore.

In the song "Tonight, Tonight," Corgan sings, "Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight." This line encapsulates the hope and faith that one often invests in a relationship, believing that love can conquer all obstacles. However, as the song progresses, Corgan's lyrics take a darker turn, hinting at the disillusionment and despair that can come when that belief is shattered. The line "The impossible is possible tonight" suggests a sense of desperation and longing for a miracle to save a failing relationship.
