The unique guitar sound in the song was achieved by using a small Crate practice amp. Corgan has said that this song "has a lot to do with spirituality and trying to find my place in the universe and sort of humbly accepting limitations and the things I've been graced with. It's more of a humanistic world view. I'm not writing anymore for the tortured teen—both me and whoever was listening. I'm writing with the idea that everybody's experiencing these things all the time, and even if they're not experiencing them personally, they're affected by them. You can live in the street and write about the garbage, or you can try to get up a little higher and look down and try to see the bigger picture."
During the recording of Machina, an early version of this song with very different lyrics had the working title of "Disco King". Roughly four other versions were recorded, with varying lyrics and chord structures. Corgan has said the original iteration is unrecognizable to the final version. The final version retains Chamberlin's consistent use of offbeat hi-hat beats, and although the concluding chorus was cut, an a cappella section was added.
The music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and is a performance-based music video, the first to feature Melissa Auf der Maur, playing bass with the band after the departure of D'arcy Wretzky. Originally, the band had considered Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris to direct the video.
While planning the Machina reissue, it was discovered the master reels of the recording have been lost. However, Alan Moulder's original mix from a two-track analog tape was still in possession and will see a modern conversion for the reissue.
In 2000, "The Everlasting Gaze" peaked at #4 on the Billboard Alternative chart and at #14 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and reached #11 in Canada's Rock chart.
