| R.E.M. – Perfect Circle Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I agree that at least for me parts of this song are about being uncomfortable in social situations: standing too soon, asking someone to stay close to you, drinking, trying to sound clever by coining a phrase. For me it also about trying to make yourself look good and not talk about anything hard or difficult that you're experienceing. The lines in that song that say this most strongly for me are, "Try to win and suit your needs. Speak out sometimes but try to win". These lines send shivers down my spine. For me they are about always having to act positive and strong, and to not show any weakness. Devastating. | |
