The lyrics remind me of the nightlife I lived back in the '80's. I traveled the NYC subways to get where I was going, blasted on hallucinogenics that hit me too soon. I was a night creature. I feel these lyrics as being for those of us who lived the life at night, who were together yet alone. I used to have that sense of isolation, that others couldn't know unless they were like me. I know the words appear as nonsensical, but I believe they are meant to be felt, not figured out.
@SubwayGoddess love your comment! I feel a lot of what you’re saying, and certainly agree that these early REM lyrics were meant to be felt, not figured out.
