U2 – Elevation

General CommentObviously, the song Elevation is about having an erection. Think about this:
[His] mole
Digging in [her] hole
Digging [in her] soul
Now, going down, excavation

or

You shoot me from [my] gun

C'mon, U2 can use innuendos too, right?

General Commenti agree with a few others this song is totally about wild sex, possibly after a time of separation with the person he's in love with (guessing coming back from a tour to his wife? "I've got no self-control
Been living like a mole" - alone and blind to sexuality, other women), I've been down that road myself (long distance relationship with my hubby before we got married) and the first time i heard this song made me think of our reunions :)i mean "elevate me here At the corner of your lips At the orbit of your hips" and "now going down, EXCAVATION", "eclipse", "Maybe you can educate my mind Explain all these controls" maybe i'm completely dirty minded but it all screams uncontrolled hot sex to me :) the most beautiful moment in it though is when he asks love to lift him and tell him something true, it's like you don't want to loose love, the spiritual aspect of it in the sexual frenzy of seeking physical satisfaction, love love this song

General Commentthis song doesnt mean anything! it isnt supposed to. its just a bunch of words that ryme well. U2 always make songs which really mean something, emotionaly or politicaly or whatever but Elevation is Bono just saying hey we are a rock band and we can sing about whatever we want. he is just proving theyre not serious all the time. and with the energy that this song has why should anyone care what it means?

General CommentWow, your ass must be genius. Why don't you just communicate through your ass, and sew your big mouth shut? Maybe you would think up better comebacks.

  Yeah I was reading "U2 by U2" and Bono said that, "I don't remember writing that song which is sad because it is a song about sex." I do however think that the song is not just about the act but how sex can be spiritual and love can bring one out of despair. Like many of U2 song there can be a double meaning that is referring to God's love also. One of my favorite songs of theirs. :)

General CommentI love this song very much and I think the "All that you can't leave behind" version is better than the "Tomb Raider" mix

General CommentI’d mention that during Catholic mass the Priest’s ritual of raising the wine over his head for the congregation to witness is called “elevation” – perhaps this has already been suggested but I didnt see it.

General CommentIf you ever get the chance to see them perform it in concert, there's nothing like 20,000 people singing the "WOO OOOH"s during ELEVATION!

I don't take this song as being too deep but it's still a fun song.

What could she possibly be elevating on his body?
What body part can begin to elevate? This one's a toughy
