About Beguiled

“Beguiled“ is The Smashing Pumpkins' lead single to their 33-track twelfth studio album “ATUM: A Rock Opera in Three Acts“. A heavy, distorted alt-rock cut harkening back to the sounds that made the Smashing Pumpkins a household name in the 1990s. Corgan’s vocals are sharp, but what defines the track is the expansive landscape the band traverses on the arrangements. True to its rock opera form, there are many twists and turns, but none feel out of place or overwrought. .

Beguiled Lyrics

[00:08.50] So swallow hard the serpent
[00:12.41] Of many tags and faces hid in masks
[00:16.92] Coiled 'round this lung until the last
[00:21.94]
[00:24.82] He'll crack your boots, young pagans
[00:29.20] 'Cause like you, I was hatched to traipse on cold
[00:33.19] And 17's a long-drawn way from hope
[00:38.53]
[00:43.56] And I've learned these lessons I was taught
[00:48.86] Taut, so taught
[00:53.74] And now I'm telling you
[00:57.91] Return the faith
[01:02.17] Return the faith
[01:05.31] They're smashing out the veils
[01:08.23] Return the faith
[01:11.53]
[01:14.25] And there's no escape
[01:18.54] So return the faith
[01:21.91] With charging light brigades
[01:24.55] Return the faith
[01:27.53]
[01:29.58] You've gotta move
[01:32.42]
[01:57.13] So as betrayed by rainbows
[02:01.36] Here I convey I've sold out your dear 'cause
[02:05.55] And the king has placed us in his jaws
[02:10.24]
[02:13.69] It's sure, no place can hold us
[02:17.62] But in this scene I'm December
[02:20.26] And your June's wretch
[02:21.87] And my idyls lay gasping as if death
[02:26.15]
[02:32.05] And I've learned these lessons I was taught
[02:37.66] Taut, so taught
[02:42.30] And now I'm telling you
[02:46.57] Return the faith
[02:50.83] Return the faith
[02:54.00] They're smashing out the veils
[02:56.97] Return the faith
[03:00.13]
[03:02.95] And there's no escape
[03:07.02] So return the faith
[03:10.50] With charging light brigades
[03:13.45] Return the faith
[03:18.11] You've gotta move
[03:20.95]
[03:40.77] Return the faith
[03:45.01] (Return the faith)
[03:46.26] Return the faith
[03:48.98] (Return the faith)
[03:50.29] Return the faith
[03:51.13]
