Uberlin Lyrics REM

Uberlin Lyrics R.E.M.

Uberlin is from R.E.M.'s new album, Collapse Into Now. A nice acoustic number from R.E.M. with Micheal Stipe in fine sing voice.

Producer Jacknife Lee said "Michael had a lyrical idea that was so complex that I didn't understand what he was getting at even after he explained it to me. He has pages and pages of lyrics and ideas with backstories for characters that don't figure in the song."

Mike Mills was actually explain the meaning behind the song: the "character is in trouble but doing his best to get through it. He's gonna make it. But it wasn't easy"
Uberlin Lyrics:

uberlin

hey now
take your pills
and
hey now
make your breakfast
hey now
comb your hair and off to work

crash land
no illusions
no collision
no intrusion
my imagination run away

i know, i know, i know what I am chasing
i know, i know, i know that this is changing me

I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, a star, a star
I will make it through the day
and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

ah hey now
take the u-bahn
five stops, change the station
hey now
don't forget: the change will save you

hey now
count a thousand milion people
that's astounding
chasing through the city with their stars so bright

i know, i know, i know what I am chasing
i know, i know, i know that this is changing me

I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, a star, a star
I will make it through the day
and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

Well I don't mind repeating
I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type

well hey man
tell me something
are you off to somewhere?
do you want to go with me tonight?

I know, I know that this is changing
we walk the streets to feel the ground
I'm chasing through Berlin

I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, a star, a star
I will make it through the day
and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
