R.E.M. – Walk Unafraid Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is about finding yourself, learning who you are and coming to terms with it.

If I have a bag of rocks - faults/problems
I just want to hold my head high - i'm not ashamed to be me

Perhaps micheal is pointing out that we are all only human, with the the baggage that goes with it.

and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction

He's prepared to admit his faults and hold his head high, are you?

I'm prepared to look you in the eye
look me in the eye

R.E.M. – Hollow Man Lyrics 17 years ago
A song for all the people who wake up one day, look in the mirror and see that life as simply passed them by....Have I become the hollow man I see?
Have you lived your live on repeat, each day following the other, the same? Get up, go to work, go home, go to bed, get up...

R.E.M. – Around the Sun Lyrics 17 years ago
This song got me through a tough time. The lyrics really sang to me and summed up what I was feeling. I was stuck in a dead-end job a desperately looking for a way out.

Hold on world, come back in another year (around the sun) and see where I am then.

Sure enough a year later I was in a new job and a lot happier.

R.E.M. – Bittersweet Me Lyrics 17 years ago
How much of a hand did Bill have in writing these lyrics, if any? How close to leaving was he in 95/6. He left in 1997.

R.E.M. – Bang And Blame Lyrics 17 years ago
I'd agree, if read from a female narrative this clearly about turning the tables on an abusive relationship.

You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me,
You bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me,
You let go on me.

R.E.M. – The Outsiders Lyrics 17 years ago
I'd agree with shade that this song is probably more about Kurt Cobain than anyone else, but It always put's me in mind of Bill Berry. I can imagine Berry and Stipe sitting across the table and Berry announcing his plans to depart.
