U2 – Zooropa Lyrics 17 years ago
Zooropa---- the end of the song pretty much sums up his message

Dream out loud! -- ignore the media messages and live your own dream, don't get caught up in the rat race.

The song start with all the slogans, some common some foriegn, meaning none of are immune.

And I have no compass
And I have no map
And I have no reasons
No reasons to get back

And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit
The limit of what we've got

(all of this is just stating that he has reduced the limitations to his choices)

The last part is saying don't follow the crowd, don't worry whatever choice you make is your choice... try no to be influenced by the vast majority.

Get your head out of the mud

This song is like an anthem for me

U2 – Gone Lyrics 17 years ago
I love this song, it had a dirty sound.... when I think of this song I think this as a realization of the what is real and what is bullshit, Enlightenment so to speak.

you get to feel so guilty got so much for so little
then you find that feeling just won't go away (Taking Advantage of Others, manipulation)

you're holding on to every little thing so tightly
till there's nothing left for you anyway (Pointless Materialism)

GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS ( So long, sell your hit else where)
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN... IMNOTCOMINGDOWN
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN (Living at a higher lever, wating no more time)

you wanted to get somewhere so badly
you had to lose yourself along the way (Change, be different... very difficult)
you change a name but that's okay... it's necessary
and what you leave behind you don't miss anyway (Need vs Want)

GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN... IMNOTCOMINGDOWN
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN

AND I'M ALREADY GONE
FELT that way all along
closer to you every day
didn't want it that much anyway (Enlightenment)

you're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
then you get to like the way it feels
you hurt yourself you hurt your lover (Active Change creates painn to you and to the people around you)

then you discover...
what you thought was freedom was just greed (Back to the material...Need vs. Want)
goodbye... no emotional goodnight (Letting go without feelings)
we'll be up WITH the sun
are you still holding on
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
