| R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Well, good try, but WAY OFF. The band has explained that was written in a quick 5 minutes mainly to highlight the folksy mandolin instrument, and the lyrics were an after-thought that talks about obsessed, unfulfilled love towards another, soul-searching and doubting... NOTHING to do with religion. Your personal "meaning" is a lot of atheistic bias wrapped around a nice song...but if it works for you to believe it-- good for you. The phrase "losing my religion" is a southern for something like "that makes me SO mad I almost became UNKIND!!!" I wish you well on your quest for eventual truth... HOPE you didn't base your religious ideas on this pop song. | |
