Beat a Drum

R.E.M.

Transposer:

the sun reflected in the back of my eye. I knocked my head against the sky. the dragonflies are busy buzzing me. a seahorse as if we were in the sea. half way from coal half way to diamond. my fall knocked a mean chip out of me. gathering as far as I can reach. perched up on the precipice and this is what I've seen. this is all I want it's all I need. this is all I am it's everything. this is all I want it's all I need. a bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree. doctorate in science and the theologians dream. the dragonflies are trying to lecture me. a seahorse as if we were in the sea. but this is all I want it's all I need. this is all I am it's everything. this is all I want it's all I need. (Instrumental) beat a drum for me like a butterfly wing. tropical storm across the ocean. but don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know but don't forget we're just halfway from home. this is all I want it's all I need. this is all I am it's everything. this is all I want it's all I need.

La chanson évoque une quête de sens et de vérité, entre le rêve et la réalité. L'artiste joue avec des images de la nature, comme les libellules et les hippocampes, pour souligner la beauté et la complexité de la vie. Il parle aussi de ses aspirations, de l'importance de ce qu'il désire et de ce qu'il est réellement. Les références à la science et à la théologie suggèrent un mélange de rationalité et de spiritualité, témoignage de la recherche d’un équilibre entre différentes connaissances. L’idée de rythmes naturels, comme le battement de tambour, renforce l’idée d’une connexion entre l’homme et son environnement. Dans l'ensemble, cela reflète une volonté de s'accrocher à ce qui est essentiel tout en naviguant à travers une réalité parfois tumultueuse.
