Losing my religion by REM ? They don’t flat out state the song is about being lgbtq and growing up religious, but it definitely says as much in the message behind the lyrics, a poetic song about trying to understand what it means now that you know and realize that you’re everything that is supposedly bad, that who you truly are deep down is a rebellion and threat to the world around you, you wanted to believe that it wasn’t true, you wanted to believe that you were still who you were before you grew old enough to understand, but it’s impossible, and every moment that passes you are losing more and more of who you though you were.
Plus- I think I remember a rocking chair in the video

And religion is literally in the title of the song and the chorus

If it’s not the right song/ I’m sorry. But it’s a great song so maybe you’ll enjoy it anyhow. more »
