LOSING MY RELIGION

At times, I feel like I am losing my religion. I always wonder if there is a higher power out there. Why would God bring children into this world but only to let them suffer? I often wonder this to myself.

Today, I was reading the lyrics to losing my religion by R.E.M and found myself thinking about it. Did you know that Michael Stipe stated once in an interview that this song isn’t about religion. But, it’s about him dreaming of being in the spotlight, and he is looking within the spotlight from the perspective of him who is terrified of fame and wonders if he is ready for it. However, when I hear the song; I feel as it its talking about someone who is losing face with their religion & fighting feelings that they have within ones self.

HERE IS A COPY OF THE LYRICS TO THE SONG...WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU???

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'mChoosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
