Cover art for Losing My Religion lyrics by R.E.M.

"Losing My Religion" is actually an infatuation by a man towards another person with the same gender. It was a closet gay anthem. It was an attraction that he wanted to act upon but does not have enough courage to do so as he felt that he could fall short or will end up in bitterness or major disappointment as he has yet to come into terms with his confusion of his gender identity and orientation.
