Good Advices Lyrics

Cover art for Good Advices lyrics by R.E.M.

The "good advices" seem to be safety guidelines like a parent might tell a child when leaving the home, then the song seems to lament the over abundance of meaningless two dimensional relationships along the way... And longs for something deeper.

At the end of the day, I'll forget your name I'd like it here if I could leave And see you from a long way away
