Disarm was written by vocalist and guitarist Billy Corgan. BBC banned "Disarm" from Top of the Pops because of the lyric "cut that little child", and it received little radio airplay in the United Kingdom. Corgan has stated that the song reflects the shaky relationship he had with his parents while growing up.
Interesting. I didn't know that. That's ridiculous for them to have banned the song since the lyric says "cut that little child inside of me and such a part of you." Clearly talking about abuse Billy experienced from his parents.
All a child wants ultimately is love and approval .child abuse can happen in many ways..and abuse can cycle..how inciteful for this song to be a vehicle for helping himself and helping countless others break that cycle
The mighty smashing pumpkins wahoild be known as one of the greatest bands of all time.. thier vast and diverse catalogue can stand with anyones
Always loved this song...the strings add such a perfect element.

You are right on track with child abuse. This is about Corgan’s childhood and the abuse/neglect he and his brother experienced.
🎃🔨🎵🤘 Legendary band
Good pick! They have a lot of good tracks. Disarm is an absolutely classic
Strings, percussion... the symphonic elements... Butch Vig put this LP into rare air.
You were totally on point with the child abuse comment. Corgan has said that the song is about his own experiences of being abused by his father.
This band ❤
They have so many good songs.
A classic
"let's get this one out the way"... not the best start to a reaction I must say.
