I think it could also be reminiscing about childhood and also be ironic since he glosses over the ugly parts, like wiith the traffic jams, just like how we gloss over the really ugly stuff and just remember the good parts. Beautiful song. |

I think it's about finally realizing all the problems you have in your life and asking everyone to help, but still trying to keep your pride intact. But then you realize that you are still having lots of problems and become really depressed. |

I think this is about corruption, wendell losing his good foundation and slowly decaying into a different bad type of world. |

Yea, its pretty much mocking our society and the values that we place on relationships that turn out to be purely physical and have no deeper meaning at all. |

This is ironic because in the song they guy creates a sese of chaos and having no clue of what is going on, but still thinks that he can advise other people on how to live their lives. |

| R.E.M. – Maps And Legends Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
I think this is about nothing being clear, and even the most concrete things, the maps, can be wrong sometimes and that everyone changes and that not everyone is good or bad but everyone is the shade of grey and this is a really long sentance and i'm pretty sure noone is even going to read all of this so i'm going to stop now. |

It can also mean that someone new to the government can get used to the bad stuff going on very easily and can become corrupted and lose their innocence. |

| R.E.M. – It's the End of the World as We Know It Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
OK, first the reason the The One I Love and ITEOTWAWKI aren't on in time is that the recorded them on another indie record label and didn't want to have a lawsuit of copyright enfringement. If you want their earlier stuff, pick up Eponymous.
Also, I really doubt that this song is all about a debate tournament. REMs songs usually should not be taken at face value. It is probably, as it states, a humorous take of the apocalypse and one left behind. |

| R.E.M. – Exhuming McCarthy Lyrics

This is about people who are so afraid of themselves failing and so self centered that they try to take others down so that they can rise up; in effect, they are reliving Mccarthy and doing what he did. |

| R.E.M. – Sweetness Follows Lyrics

|
|
I think that this is pretty much someone burying their parents, and trying to assure their siblings that even though you go through a lot of pain and hurt here on Earth, there is still a good afterlife and heaven, which may be written sarcastically since Michael is a known critic of the church. |

This song is fairly nonsensical, but you can prertty much tell that this is about relationships and how Stipe feels that hope is eternal, even when the other person is completely ignoring you. |

I think the person is trying to rationalize killing themselves by saying that they have lived a full life and have seen terrible things, but they still are uneasy about actually doing something so drastic (why do you shiver). |

Yea, i think that it is about how no matter how hard you fight, you really can't change anything and it won't really make a difference. Kinda like the revolution will not be televised. |

This song is probably my favorite of the Boys becuase it breaks the mold of their other songs, and you just gotta love the fading out an in, poossibly a nod to the Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever. |

The most famous version of this song is recorded off their live album, and I gotta say it blows the studio version out of the water. The concert was at a sacred temple in Japan, where they were much bigger than they are here. |
