Loosing my religion
@ Rock-Weekend: R.E.M. Lyrics

Life is bigger
There is more to life than what we can see or understand.

It's bigger
The scope and meaning of life extend beyond what any individual can comprehend.

And you, you are not me
We are separate individuals with unique perspectives and experiences.

The lengths that I will go to
I am willing to take extreme measures to achieve my goals.

The distance in your eyes
There is a lack of connection or understanding between us.

Oh no, I've said too much
I have revealed more than I intended or should have.

I set it up
I created this situation myself through my actions or words.

That's me in the corner
I feel isolated and marginalized from the rest of the world.

That's me in the spotlight
I am under intense scrutiny and pressure to perform or succeed.

Losing my religion
I am losing my sense of purpose, values, or beliefs.

Trying to keep up with you
I am struggling to measure up to your expectations or standards.

And I don't know if I can do it
I doubt my ability to succeed or meet expectations.

I haven't said enough
There is more I want or need to communicate, but I am hesitant or unable to do so.

I thought that I heard you laughing
I believed that you were happy or content, but now I am not so sure.

I thought that I heard you sing
I believed that you were expressing yourself freely and honestly, but now I am not so sure.

I think I thought I saw you try
I believed that you were making a genuine effort, but now I doubt that you were.

Every whisper
Every small detail or hint.

Of every waking hour
Throughout all of my active and conscious moments.

I'm choosing my confessions
I am carefully selecting what information or emotions to reveal and to whom.

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
I feel vulnerable, confused, and misguided.

Consider this
Take this into account or give it serious thought.

The hint of the century
This is a significant clue or insight that could change everything.

The slip that brought me
The mistake or misstep that led me to this point.

To my knees failed
I bungled the opportunity or made things worse for myself.

What if all these fantasies
What if all these idealized or imagined scenarios become reality?

Come flailing around
Become chaotic and unmanageable.

But that was just a dream
That hope or aspiration was not grounded in reality.

Try, cry, why, try
These words echo my struggles to succeed or understand the situation.

Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
This was not a reality, just a hopeful but ultimately futile desire.

Dream
This word encapsulates the various hopes, fears, and uncertainties expressed throughout the song.
