"Lotus" is a song by R.E.M., released as the second single from their eleventh studio album Up.
The songs recurring line "I ate the lotus" appeared in an alternate form ("Ill eat the lotus...") in a previous R.E.M. song, "Be Mine".
The line "dot dot dot and I feel fine" is a reference to R.E.M.s 1987 hit "Its the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)".
