I was drinking some wine... and it turned to blood
What's the use of religion... if you're any good
I know I'm weedkiller honey... and you're sugar
If you're the prosecution... I get away with murder
If you were ice... I'm water
And with your telescope... I can see further
We're binary code... a one and a zero
You wanted violins... and you got Nero
You're gravity... searching for the ground
You're silence... searching for a sound
Your heart is aching... your heart is my home
It's fascinating... I know I'll never be alone
I'm rippin' the stitches
You got two hands to rub
I'm in the ditches
Of someone else's love
Love is when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love will come again
I'll be gone again... again
If you're hunger... baby let me feed it
If your heart is full... baby let me bleed it
And happiness is for... those who don't really need it
You love me... too much
You always loved me... too much
When I was rippin' the stitches
You got two fists to rub
I'm in the ditches
Of someone else's luck
Love is when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love's got to be with a wink
Only then love gets a chance to speak
Love will come again
I'll be gone again... again
I... I can't escape myself
I hear you talk
Feeling nothing
I fear nothing
Feel....
I can hear so much
Fear nothing
I feel so much
Fear... nothing
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is the end of history
The enemy of misery
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is justice, a charity
Love brings with it a clarity
Love has come again
I'm alive again
Alive...
I am alive, baby I'm born again and again
And again, and again and again and again
Again
What's the use of religion... if you're any good

I think its about not understanding love but it still finds you even though you don't know why, and you might not want it to.
It also has that whole opposites attract theme.
I think it's about a conversation type deal with God. There's many refrences to this in the song. It's aobut the unconditional love God has for us as people who aren't even sure who God is and mess up countless times.
But, it as a terrific song, and (would have been) easily the second best song on HTDAAB.
Anyone else here a member of U2 Feedback (interference.com)?
Bono released this song to only one person because what he sees in that person is what he truly believes in. So he gave the song, knowing full well it would be released anyway. Only one person was really ready to hear the song, so he gave it to that person. The masses are not yet ready to hear the song, though it is inevitable it will be heard.

I'm having a hard time describing the meaning because I think it has so many.
But I love the line
I can hear so much
Fear nothing
I feel so much
Fear... nothing
