I can't believe nobody has ever left a comment for this song! It is undoubtedly one of the angriest, meanest songs about unrequited love in the entire REM catalogue. If "The One I Love" is easily recognized as the REM song most associated with that theme, than this song takes the emotion behind it and demonstrates the kicking and screaming anger often associated with love not returned. Where "TOIL" seethes, this one boils.
This monster in me - the green-eyed monster of jealousy - gets lose I am going to retch, I am going to act compulsively. And you are not going to want to be around me when I explode.
This song is brilliant. This IS what it feels like to be in unrequited love. This is the anger. And Peter's guitar slams it home.
