My Religion

---

But this is another of the episodes from the last year that Zachery Ty Bryan was with the series. It's clear he had picked up the activism that seems to run all through Hollywood. I didn't say informed activism since it's clear that Bryan has bought into only one side of the argument. This last year he spent nearly every episode he was in being upset about some evil in the world that he had the answer to. If it hadn't have been for the rumors that came out of the show after it went off the air it would be easy to assume that these lines were just written for him.

But the rumor was he was becoming a bit of a zealot about this kind of thing and was becoming difficult to work with. All that being said; this is a good story about a seemingly vibrant woman in a hospice that Randy has volunteered to work in. The woman that Randy gets assigned to, played by Eileen Heckart, gives Randy an education about the concept of death and dying.

But Randy's many lines criticizing the health care industry in the U. Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video. Start your free trial.

Losing My Religion Songtext

He is trying to push her out of his mind. Constantly following someone around, clinging to them, trying to make them connect with you or notice you. Basically these verses mean that he is getting angry and frustrated trying to stay ahead of the game and keep up with the competition over this woman.

He's behind the game, in the spotlight, failng. He obsesses over the person, constantly watching them - he can't think of anything else but this person, and he feels "lost" and "blinded" when not knowing what she's doing or who she's with. I CBA to write more interpretations of the rest of the song, but I could leave you guys to that: There was an error.

Mausman I believe you're correct about all that. Also, in the part that goes "That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight" I think it's him trying to get her to notice him. He's exclaiming to her that it's him in the corner, in the spotlight, look at him. Also in the part that goes "Oh no I've said too much I set it up" I think this is him worrying about what he said to her when he attempted to strike a conversation. It's just typical worrying about what to say to a girl and what not to say, how it should go and he thinks he's messed it up.

And then he confesses that the conversation wasn't started naturally but that he set it up. Flag kevin on June 15, Mausman All true except with Michael Stipe, it's probably not a "her. Mausman You're absolutely right, you can't deny that it's about unrequited love because that's what the artist actually said it was about! Does anyone remember that time in their life when they had the biggest crush on someone who just was not reciprocating? I thought that I heard you sing.

I think I thought I saw you try Flag jungenbum on June 04, Mausman this is so accurate.. Flag joncf on August 03, Flag Aarondriz on September 07, General Comment I've heard that Michael Stipe called this song a love song. I used to have a hard time understanding how that fit, but now that I'm divorced, I understand it. When you lose the love of your life or who you think is the love of your life , you lose all of those plans for the future, all of the things you believed in. In other words, losing my religion means losing all of those hopes, beliefs, and untainted feelings of love.

Think about the video--all of the representations of religion that were mere constructs by humans. The angel wings made of iron, the elderly Jesus figure with a wig--it's like the Wizard of Oz, and seeing that there is someone very small and imperfect behind the curtain, instead of the grand entity you believed in.

That's a pretty good interpretation but its also about being gay too. Tas has it better.

Flag dawntreader22 on February 26, At least I think that is the name of it. But it is about an old man with wings as the title suggests who falls into a barn and is found by some people in the town. He seems representative of Christ, or some sort of angel, but no one believes he is an angel because he does not understand Latin what was believed to be the language of God , but the point of this allusion is there are parts of the video that seem like a visual representation of this story.

Flag acoury on June 08, It also seems like when you fall in love and keep illusions about someone that is not who seemed to be.

Losing My Religion

You immagine that this person is someone, but in fact, on the inside, it's someone else. General Comment I have a very very strange interpretation, but please hear me out. This song is about someone coming to terms with thier homosexuality. Losing my religion, is in a way to describe them admitting thier homosexuality.

Now, saying that they said to much is telling themself that no, they're not gay!! And the person is in love with someone from the same sex, and thier mind and heart are dueling which ultimately ends with the admittance. The part about but that was just a dream, I'd say that maybe, the whole image of thier heterosexuality was just a dream Also, around this time, Micheal Stipe was coming to terms of being gay.

But, that's just my strange opinion. You have an adequate sense of decoding lyrics. I I also have the same beliefs as you, I think the song most defiantly is turning toward homosexuality.

Flagged smith on January 23, Yes Tas has it right. I actually couldn't have said it better. I just found out that Stipe is gay and it has me rethinking all of his lyrics.

Flagged dawntreader22 on February 26, Flag lace18 on October 15, I totally agree that this is a coming out song Flag tyedye on November 27, Flag picturesofthesun on December 12, Flag Raddas on December 23, Interesting, but I disagree. As other comments say, 'Losing my Religion' is a common expression in Georgia meaning to lose your temper. Considering that the band is from Georgia, it seems odd that they would use this expression implying a different meaning.

To me, it seems like he is angry at himself or the situation he is in; he loves someone who is not trying at all, or not interested. Something that is likely to make anyone angry.

General Comment There are alot of wonderful interpetations of this song here. I thought I would take a stab at it. This for someone who made a strong impression on me that will never read this. When asked at the time if he was worried that the song's success might alienate older fans, Buck told Rolling Stone , "The people that changed their minds because of 'Losing My Religion' can just kiss my ass.

In , the song was listed as No. As opposed to previous R. Singh wanted to create a video in the style of a certain type of Indian filmmaking, where everything would be "melodramatic and very dreamlike", according to Stipe. The video begins with a brief sequence inside a dark room where water drips from an open window. Recreating a scene from the Andrei Tarkovsky film The Sacrifice , Buck, Berry, and Mills run across the room while Stipe remains seated as a pitcher of milk drops from the windowsill and shatters; the song then begins.

Director Singh also drew inspiration from the Italian painter Caravaggio and the video is laden with religious imagery such as Saint Sebastian , the Biblical episode of the Incredulity of Thomas and Hindu deities, portrayed in a series of tableaux. The recording was made in Madison, Georgia , about 20 miles south of Athens.
