R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics 1 year ago
I've always felt this was the meaning of this song. Not so much coming out broadly to the world, but coming out to a person that you are attracted to, not sure if they are also gay:

"Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough"

"I think I thought I saw you try"

"Consider this the hint of the century"

"What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around?
Now I've said too much"

"But that was just a dream
That was just a dream ....."

If this were a traditional unrequited love song, there would always be a chance, but if the person you were attracted to wasn't attracted to your gender, then 'it is just a dream'.

Anyway, that's my take. Incredible song.
