I don't think REM spends much time watching Anime, though i could be wrong...

When you're dreaming of attics, it's supposed to be where you keep all of your accomplisments. This song looks like the character* is learning to let go of subconcious aprehensions or suppositions.

The first line in the stanza doesn't make sense to me.

*Character is almost nonexistant in this song. There's no subject except the occasional "you," making this song fragment-y. The vauge, fragment-y-ness makes it very... weird.
