It's a commentary on Japanese culture, that's why it's so cutsie sounding :-) One of their best songs, easily, for a variety of reasons. It's not a song that requires a whole lot of lyrical analysis, but you have to understand Japan, and how they've operated for the past 2-3 decades: their culture is very cutsie and happy-go-lucky yet economically (and, arguably, politically) there has been nothing but devastation and stagnation for a very long time now. The recent earthquake is another example: they experienced incredible destruction yet remained very headstrong and optimistic. It simply shows what a resilient people the Japanese are: I don't think any other country can quite match that resilience.

I freaking love how some people still think this song is just about being happy. It's about people on Prozac. "Put it in your hands, take it ,take it." Still love the song especially since it deceives people to make you think it's like Stand (nonsensical and fun). A bit weird for the happy people to be shiny isn't it. Think about it people.

I think the lyrics are straight-forward. There is no need to dig deeper on this one. There is nothing else there.

I don't give a crap what Stipe intended. This song makes me happy, and all the psychological rhetoric won't change that. I choose not to read deeper into the lyrics
