"West of the Fields" adalah sebuah lagu yang memikat oleh band rock ikonik R.E.M. Liriknya yang puitis mengeksplorasi tema-tema tentang perjalanan, kehilangan, dan harapan. Lagu ini dimulai dengan seruan ke masa lalu, saat intuisi dan impian tampak tersesat. Perjalanan seorang penyair membawa mereka ke "hutan yang hidup" dan "padang Elysian," di mana mereka mencari makna dalam mimpi dan visi mereka.
West of the Fields Lyrics
R.E.M.
Long gone intuition
To assume are gone when we try
I dream of a living jungle
I'm on my way back home, couldn't find shyer
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields
Dreams of Elysian
To assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try I listen with my eyes, oversimplify
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
The antelopes are strange
Trying to sicken me
The antelopes are strange
Trying to sicken me
Dreams of Elysian
You assume are gone when we die
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen to your eyes, when we die
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of fields
To assume are gone when we try
I dream of a living jungle
I'm on my way back home, couldn't find shyer
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields
Dreams of Elysian
To assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try I listen with my eyes, oversimplify
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
The antelopes are strange
Trying to sicken me
The antelopes are strange
Trying to sicken me
Dreams of Elysian
You assume are gone when we die
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen to your eyes, when we die
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
West of the fields, west of the fields
Long gone, long gone
Long gone, long gone
West of fields
