It happened fast, it's over quick.
A little dust and the engine kicks.
Did your hands drift down off the wheel?
Roll out, hit your windshield
An eyelash or a little bit of sleep? Time stands still.
Just call it now and you're on your way (hey, hey, hey)
All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and waterslides
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice.
Gravity flows on the power line.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky.
This is a land could eat a man alive.
Say you'd leave it all behind.
There's a radio tower that's egging me on
Back to the place where you never belong.
Where people thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent.
If you had to guess or make bet,
Would you place yourself inside of it?
The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh.
"Tricked again." Let go, okay.

R.E.M. è stata una band rock americana formatasi ad Athens, in Georgia, nel 1980. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti nella formazione dell'alternative rock e dell'indie, R.E.M. sono diventati uno dei gruppi rock più grandi al mondo nei primi anni '90. Inizialmente hanno attirato un seguito underground, ma la loro popolarità è poi sbocciata in un successo mainstream, passando da locali affollati a stadi sportivi e festival durante una carriera che ha attraversato tre decenni. Il gruppo era composto da Michael Stipe (voce), Peter Buck (chitarra), Mike Mills (basso) e Bill Berry (batteria). R.E.M. è nota per il suo sound caratteristico, un mix di melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e arrangiamenti sperimentali. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Losing My Religion", "Everybody Hurts", "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" e "The One I Love". Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "Automatic for the People" (1992) e "Monster" (1994).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
