I'm black too. This song is about the Mona Lisa, a "simple prop" whom Da Vinci cherished and toted with him wherever he went. The Mona Lisa is actually the image of the beast from the sea discussed in the Bible's Revelations. Da Vinci himself was one head of the beast in fact. He's a vampire who can age backwards, and he's also been known as Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler. These 2 statesmen were stylistically different but their underlying bone structure was identical. And the German King at the time voluntarily conferred all of his power and authority to Prince Otto for some strange reason. This unprecedented event parallels the Biblical description of the beast's ascent to power. Here's the catch: America was originally ordained by God as a free land for whites. For the Gentiles specifically, which is virtually inclusive of all whites. Therefore I have a neutral attitude towards the fact that my great-great-great grandpa Otto is the Devil. This song fills my heart with sentimental nostalgia although I know exactly what it's about.

Altogether this song is reminiscent of old European nobility whose nearest neighbors were miles away. Transportation took forever in the horse-and-carriage days, so these people would usually only gather for special occasions like balls, weddings and affairs of state. Their social skills were very formal by our standards because meeting people wasn't an everyday thing. And they learned to love their valuables, their "simple props" more than other people. These sentiments are enjoying a resurgence in our 1% era and Stipe was ahead of the game with this song.

The Mona Lisa really blurs the distinction between 'she' and 'it'. But she is a product of this low-tech feudal era, where the aristocrats and their similarly landowning friends went a little kooky from isolation. They probably had imaginary friends and whatnot.

It's about the Mona Lisa. She was a simple prop whom Da Vinci loved. He brought her with him everywhere he went, like she was a helpless child he had to look after. This portrait was allegedly Da Vinci in drag. The cross dresser in this video has similar hair to the Mona Lisa and her facial features resemble Da Vinci's. The Mona Lisa is actually the image of the diabolical Beast from the Sea described in the Bible. That's how I know the drag queen resembles Da Vinci. He's still alive and I've watched the videos he's made under another of his pseudonyms. The scenes where the drag queen has one foot in a pedicure soaking bowl represents the Beast's amphibious nature. It has 2 habitations of both land and sea.

Back in the early 80’s my sister’s boyfriend saw R.E.M. play when he was in college. They split up, and she never forgot him. She died from Covid and I got word from him. Although my sister and he had both lived different lives, he said she had been the love of his life. Perhaps the band wrote this song about people being used, perhaps drugs. To me it will always be a man crying it out to a lost love, the “prop” being the actual words, or poetry, of the song. ❤️

R.E.M were one of the chief pioneers of indie rock in the 80s. Not just sonically, they literally built a huge chunk of the college radio/indie venues touring circuit that many other bands then used to travel across America, particularly in the southeast radiating out from their home state of Georgia. None of that stuff really existed when they started touring and they toured *constantly*, and networked incessantly with all kinds of local radio DJs, venue owners and promoters. By the late 80s they were absolute titans in the underground and many, many other independent bands used them as a blueprint and/or got to use the list of contacts they built up. Not saying they were the only ones, many other bands were right there alongside them in other parts of the country, but definitely in the southeast they were very well known as THE band to look up to long before they signed to a major label.

It's always amazing to see how many people think this is a love song. It isn't. It's a song about someone that keeps using other people for their own selfishness. The band has said repeatedly that it was a dark song. It quickly started to be their number one hit so they just let people think of it as they want. Listen to the lyrics, not the music. The lyrics are all the same, they just repeat. The only difference is the last verse. It changes "a simple prop to occupy my time" to: This one goes out to the one I love This one goes out to the one I've left behind Another prop has occupied my time This one goes out to the one I love

Hey, can you explain a bit what it really means then? I've noticed that most of us look very disapprovingly of the guy for his apparently abusive view of the girl in this line -- "A simple prop to occupy my time." But are we misunderstanding what's really going on there, and if so, how?

Because of the wording, you can interpret the simple prop line to mean something other than the person. I would have probably thought it referred to the song being a simple prop to occupy the singers time (maybe when they are apart) It doesn't really make sense to me that a person you love is "a simple prop to occupy my time" it's like saying "this is for the person I love, but I don't really love you I'm just using you." One part cancels out the other...
