This song is the best song on around the sun. It connects feeling with the music better than any other track.

R.E.M. – So Fast, So Numb Lyrics 20 years ago
This song is pretty self explanitory. If you don't get it, you don't get it. I like the Shark eyed and blood running cold part. Way to put it out there.

R.E.M. – Country Feedback Lyrics 20 years ago
This song has always been about sadness and regret for me. The beautiful flower is now scorched, the film just keeps going. And I'm to blame for our problems and struggles. Excuses can be seen as drugs, ducked out in a row. Which bring me to what i feel this song is about. Drugs and how they can change your potential. You can go through everything to fix problems, shrinks, friends, but fuck it all. You once were central, you 'had' control but you tried something, be it beer, coke, anyhting and now you need it. It's crazy what you could have accomplished and become, but you settled for an excuse. I often think of kurt cobain when i hear this as well, even though it was written before he died. He could have been the best.
