R.E.M. – Half A World Away Lyrics 16 years ago
"my hand's tired" = masturbating? Come on guys don't be so literal.
I think it's a metaphor for toil and hardship and being generally tired of the daily grind of life. This song is so beautiful - just conjurs up an image of someone who perhaps for one night is 'away from it all' (if only in thier mind), in solitude and contemplating an existence that's never been easy but one they bear all the same.
