| R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics
| 22 years ago

I've heard that Michael Stipe called this song a love song. I used to have a hard time understanding how that fit, but now that I'm divorced, I understand it. When you lose the love of your life (or who you think is the love of your life), you lose all of those plans for the future, all of the things you believed in. After a serious breakup, you are never the same person--you never have the same blind trust/faith in love again. In other words, losing my religion means losing all of those hopes, beliefs, and untainted feelings of love. Think about the video--all of the representations of religion that were mere constructs by humans. The angel wings made of iron, the elderly Jesus figure with a wig--it's like the Wizard of Oz, and seeing that there is someone very small and imperfect behind the curtain, instead of the grand entity you believed in. |

Ahh...this song reminds me so much of when I was seperated from my now ex-husband...I wanted so badly to be with him, and I was alone all the time because he was in a different state. I was also numb because I was frightened about the state of the relationship...rightfully so, as it turned out. |
