A lot of this album has songs about having a broken heart which goes to show Stipe is a human like the rest of us and not above having someone hurt him. Except in his case I hope the person bought the album and felt like a jerk. What better way to say something to an ex than to have songs on your latest album directed towards them hurting you? I wish I could do that to my ex boyfriend but I'm no rock star.
"You'd said that I was useless
But now you'll take me in again"
This reminds me of how my ex would treat me bad until it was convenient for him or he needed something and is probably the line on the whole album that touched me the most.
