Lyric discussion by jn1720 

If you listen to the beat through the whole song, it sounds like a train. I think the meaning of this song are to illustrate, create a feeling, about the changes in Europe after the Berlin wall; just before the final establish among the countries to the European Union. Berlin are a symbol after the course of events from the second world war until the Berlin wall were pulled down. The song was written one or two years afterwards.

The beat of a train symbolize the constantly changes that we cant stop and it still goes on..

I think this song is masterpiece, specially combined with the intro on the Zooropa-tour. Check it on the concert from Sydney 1994 and you understand what I mean.
