Last Night On Earth

I think this song is about a girl that does drugs who has lost control of her life. "the more you take the less you feel" "slipping away... slip slide... the world turns and we get dizzy slipping away" Also notice shes at a bus stop as the sun is coming up, I kinda took that as she was out all night getting fucked up. Shes not waiting for a saviour to come - no need for religion when your life is a blur. My favorite part of the song might be "she hasn't been to bed in a week, she'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep"

I haven't heard any statements made by U2 as to what this song could be a reference to or what it's about, but this is kind of the picture that plays in my mind when I hear it.

When I was about 14 or 15 and bought the "Pop" album, my first impression was "this is a song about a girl giving up her virginity", but now, at 22, I think it has a bit of a deeper meaning than just that.

I don't think it's literally about a girl doing drugs either. To me, this song is about a girl who sees the world in a way that other people don't. She sees behind the bullshit. She knows better than to wait for a fairytale and she knows that life isn't everlasting. Because she understands, on a deep level, that she won't live forever, she spends every second making life count...so much that it becomes just a blur. She won't wait around for anyone, she wants life so much that she's afraid to miss a second of it. She knows what life is worth. Instead of the common interpretation that this girl is destroying her life, I think the girl in the song is trying to live so hard-core that she's missing a lot of the things that make life special.

She wants to make so much out of her life (living like it's the last night on Earth) that she's neglecting to take care of herself properly. I get the impression that this person is just so caught up with the act of living that they lost track of how to keep themselves together.

what is the deal with all the capitalization?

im fairly certain this song is about a person who acts like its their last night on earth...not too tricky to figure out

Politicians and media make everyone feel like living in reality- but we´re not.

She´s livin like its the last night on earth... she doesnt care what is worth... its just because this world is fake, it´s all a lie, all a movie...

Only she knows it, and she tries to live and receive happiness over this.

i think it could mean that this chick is sleeping around, giving her virginity and love away and "doesn't care what its's worth." waddya rekon?

"the future is so predictable the past is too uncomfortable"

should be "she hasn't been to bed in a week, she'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep" I think

Could this song be about the church?

Wow, however gave the lyrics sucks at lyric giving

But anyway this is a sweet song and the chorus really pumps me up

all i know is that the video is pretty weird lolz.
