I saw these guys last month in Atlanta, when the clapping starts in this track- I swear to god the entire fucking audience erupted w/ it. On time. Unprompted. It was magical.

Feist – The Onliest Lyrics 15 years ago
I am shocked there are only three comments on this track. So beautiful. So succinct. I have nothing to add, but would have loved to have said a toast with all who knew.

U2 – The First Time Lyrics 15 years ago
Eh, I think you're all wrong :D

It seems to me the first part of the song is about drugs, doesn't matter if Bono does them or not.. As has been mentioned he sometimes speaks in the first person from other perspectives.
--
Shows me colours when there's none to see
--
Drugs? yes..
--
I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
--
A brother could be a dealer..friend..brother in need? needing drugs? yea..
--
I spend my whole life running
He spends his running after me
--
Even when he's running away..trying to ditch..the drugs/dealer are running after him...
--
When I feel myself going down
--
coming down off them.
--
I just call and he comes around
--
Dealer is there spot on...
--
But so is Dad... Trying to save him..
He could have taken it all..
But he threw away the key..
Dad is giving him everything he can..
And for the first time he feels loved.
