Losing my religion

Losing my religion - REM

 Första blogguppgiften är att presentera en sång där identitetsfrågan tas upp. "Losing my religion" av REM är en av alla de låtar jag kom och tänka på som ligger under den genren. 
Hur mycket är din religion av den du är? Om vi tänker på de sjukt religösa i världen. De som andas religion. De som präglas av religion. Om dom av någon anledning skulle förlora den, vilka är dom då? Har dom lyckats hitta en annan identitet än det som bestämts åt dem i deras trångsinta religions texter och traditioner? Hur mycket får en religion spegla av den du är?   

 

"Oh life, it's 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 a view
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'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
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 aground
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

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep a view
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

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream"
