R.E.M. - Departure [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip
Salt Lake City, come in spring over the salt flats
A hailstorm brought you back to me
Salt Lake City, come in spring over the salt flats
A hailstorm brought you back to me

[Chorus]
Here it comes (I'm carried away)[x2]
Here it comes, bad

[Verse 2]
Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good lord
What a fuck-up, what a fighter
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider
Hung on the line like a poison spider
Win a eulogy from William Greider
Car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter
A bus plunge, avalanche, RV, vinegar cider
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider

[Chorus]

Go, go, go, go, yeah

[Verse 3]
Well, everybody is young forever
There's so much to tell you, so little time
I've come a long way since, uh, whatever
Shit, I still see that word and think of you
There is so much that I can't do, yeah
You will be young forever
There is so much that I can't do[X2]

[Chorus]
