Losing My Religion by R.E.M. is featured in Grilled Cheesus, the third episode of Season Two. It is sung by Finn.

Finn sings this because this episode is about his drastic change in religion from skepticism to full-blown belief, and then back to skepticism. Finn is very emotionally conflicted by this. 

Lyrics[]

Finn:
Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
I've said enough

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper 
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

That was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream

Just a dream, dream

Trivia[]

  • The original song is not about one literally losing their religion. It's an unrequited love song. The title "Losing My Religion" is a variation on the Southern expression "Lost My Religion", which means to lose one's temper or civility, or feel frustrated or desperate. If you are "losing your religion" over a person, you are losing faith in that person and questioning the relationship.
  • This version of the song is in the key of B♭m, the original is in the key of A minor.
