I just woke up to some ruckus and am surprised to find out that Tess is putting tiles in this little house of ours (if I could call it a house). So it seems I'll be offline for awhile again. Probably four days. And since everything is being moved out, I just have this last few minutes to type all this up.
Anyway, to all you readers out there (and I mean all three of you!), HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
I rehashed this from my Everything Website node.
Remember the song "Losing My Religion" by REM? Well, that has been a real favorite of mine since it came out. The problem is, I really didn't know what it was all about. Two years ago, I decided to get to the bottom of it and what you see below is a translation, albeit a very liberal one.
Not sure if it's correct but the geist then is that "Losing My Religion" is about someone leaving his wife! And he's so confused on what's right and what's wrong that probably even his morals are all over the place. So confused that he's losing his religion.
So watchatink?
LOSING MY RELIGION
LOSING MY TRANSLATION
by REM
by jobert
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
My world does not revolve around you
And you are not me
You don’t control me
The lengths that I will go to
You don’t know what I can do
The distance in your eyes
We have grown apart
Oh no I've said too much
I don’t want to tell you
I set it up
...but I want to
That's me in the corner
I want to hide it
That's me in the spotlight
I want to show it off
Losing my religion
I am so confused
Trying to keep up with you
I try to love you back
And I don't know if I can do it
…but it’s hard
Oh no I've said too much
I don’t want to tell you
I haven't said enough
…but I want to
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
You seem happy
I think I thought I saw you try
Do you know what is happening between us?
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Everyday, I want to tell you I love someone else
Trying to keep an eye on you
I try to be careful so you won’t know
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
I don’t know what to do
Oh no I've said too much
Have you found out my secret?
I set it up
I want you to know
Consider this
The hint of the century
Can’t you see what’s happening?
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
Our marriage isn’t working
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
What if I tell you I love someone else?
Now I've said too much
I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
You seem happy
I think I thought I saw you try
Do you know what is happening?
But that was just a dream
I haven’t told you yet
That was just a dream
I haven’t told you yet
