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. |
