Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to R.e.m. or about the 2000s in general.

It’s not that she walked away
Her world got smaller
All the usual places
The same destinations
Only something’s changed.

It’s not that she wasn’t rewarded
With pomegranate afternoons
And Mingus, Chet Baker and chess
It’s not stampede and fortune
Of prim affectations
She’s off on a riot(?)
And she knows now
Is greater than the whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

It’s not that the transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on
Were rich and loaded
With beautiful vulnerability
But now she knows
Now is greater
And she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

Now is greater
Now is greater
And she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

It’s not like if angels
Could truly look down
Stir up the trappings
A light on the ground
Remind us of what, when, why or who
The how’s up to us
Me and you
And now is greater than the whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows that.

Now she knows.
