{{Social media/Twitter|"Siva" released 31 years ago this month! It was Gish's lead single. Corgan considers it SP's first true rock song and lyrically his first personal manifesto.

Historically, "Siva" is a jam song with varying arrangements. For Gish, producer Butch Vig helped trim it into a more pop composition. In the early 90s, the band would typically preface the song by saying it's about killing your parents and taking drugs. <nowiki>https://spcodex. | Historically, "Siva" is a jam song with varying arrangements.
