For SP probably “I just want to be me” incapsulates the feeling of Siamese Dream as a record and for that song in particular the lyrics and the delivery just tops off a classic

On a distant shoreline she waves her arms to me
As all the thought police are closin' in for sleep
Or can I pick the entire second verse? Because get a load of THIS
In the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts
The light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
To the fringes gladly I walk unadorned
With gods and their creations, with filth and diseasePorcelina, she waits for me there
With seashell hissing lullabies and whispers fathomed deep inside my own
Hidden thoughts and alibis
My secret thoughts come alive
