| U2 – When I Look At The World Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
To firthelement, "I'm in the waiting room" (life, holding pattern, a sinful state, perhaps redeemed through the Lord, but not yet home {Heaven}...pushing to swim through, and feeling like not getting anywhere.) "I can't see for the smoke" (the harshness of life, sin, the black smoke and sting of life's battle........the battle for his soul and to 'get it right'.) "I think of You and your holy book" (God and His word, the Bible and God's promises.) "When the rest of us choke" (when we fail......and fall short from the glory of God as we all have OR God's own .....who try to seek Him and get "it" right but drop the ball from time to time and need HIS grace.) |

| U2 – Where The Streets Have No Name Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Hate to 'pop' everybody's bubble, but you can't call yourself U2 fans and not know about this song. It's about L.A. {Los Angeles}. So many streets (as Bono said) they may as well not have names. It's about tinsle town, the Hollywood sign (pointing 'the way') and selling the image!! Try and keep in mind what the album, movie, and tours were about and the famous remixes that included lyrics like "..in Hollywood tonight". Pomp and glitter, status, materialism, .....all things for fodder and to be made fun of. Most importantly, remember the famous video for the track?? ON top of the record store in downtown L.A. - getting shutdown by the cops?? Remember? The desert (and the Joshua Tree) disappears without a trace and WHAM, there is L.A. right before you glowing and bright, a burning image after all that dust and nothingness!! Blown by the winds are the Santa Anna winds that blow through. Where do they have acid rain (poison rain) and smog?? L.A.!!! You know the massive rain gulleys and concrete canals in L.A. that take over and shuttle the flood waters out when it happens to rain there, .........(you've seen them in a million car chase scenes in a thousand different movies) ...well....without them the city is a flood. The band shot the video there for a MAJOR reason!! Why does everybody make U2 songs harder to figure out then they really are??? P.S. I didn't say that, Bono did. | |
| U2 – Miracle Drug Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| fellas & sisters.....PLEASE!! Bono would laugh at how serious you all are taking this. Achtung Baby, remember? '...the most serious album, but least serious title,' - bono. This song is about LOVE (period and bottom line.) Got the DVD? The miracle drug is perfect love (pure...holy....Godly...etc,) NOT romantic. Love heals all things......there would be no sick Africa, paralyzed children, hunger, pain, etc.......if we all could handle perfect love. Love solves all problems. BUT, we can't do it....thus..."God I need your help tonight..." You know, sometimes you don't need to look so hard and deep, for the answers are right there in front of your face. Now doesn't that sound like something Bono might say? Cheers & Relax!!! | |
