The Smashing Pumpkins - 99 floors

과거에 알았던 사람과의 관계에 대한 그리움과 상실을 담고 있는 화자는 현재 그를 잊지 못하고 있으며, 여러 선택(우정, 대안) 사이에서 혼란스러워한다
화자는 결국 불안과 절망 속에서도 앞으로 나아가려 하지만, 그리움이 깊어지고 있다

I used to know you
I used to care
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I won't touch you
I won't feel you
I won't hear you
I won't see you
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I used to know you
I used to care
It goes far and wide
It's a cruel device
I cannot drive
You from my mind
I won't reach out
I won't strike in
I won't dream about
I won't parse the thought
I used to know you
I used to care
I used to know you
Are you still there?
I jumped from the top
And fell right back and I
Hit the ground running
Scared
I swam to the bottom of the sea
And I asked around for someone
Who might know me
Ain't a sad when your choices
Are Vegas and your friends
99 floors
And still nowhere to go
99 floors
And still nowhere to roam
A punch to the head
I passed right out and an
Impotent stood dumbstruck
And stared
Armed once again by the fist of fate
I wait for his resurrection home
Ain't it sad when your choices
Are vices or advice
It's eleven o'clock
And don't that make you bawl
It's eleven o'clock
And don't ya make it bawl
Evil, ailing
Feeling oh so low
I'm slow to anger
Wonder where I could
Ever go
You know I'd have to forget
It goes far and wide
It's a cruel device
I cannot drive
You from my mind
