Great great song and such a shame that there are only 3 comments.
This seems, at times, to be about becoming fed up with things and wanting change. And also with accepting change as a good thing
"Perfect is a fault and fault lines change"
Stipe is absolutely incredible to me. He seems to explore so many ideas and seems to contradict himself throughout some of the songs he has written, has anyone noticed?
In the dvd "tourfilm" he says:
"I'll believe anything when I'm there"
Which may explain the contradictions. There is so much stuff out there that it's hard to know what to believe but I think Stipe's song explore many issues very well if you are willing to take a look at them. They do it not by trying to impose a stone-chiseled view of things but by presenting things as he sees them at the time, and his vantage point does seem to change (which is what he believes in)
