this is what this song means to me. The main person (Bono i guess) is in a new relationship. Hes comfortable likes it but he still has thoughts about memories about his last relationship. To me his previous relationship was not purely, but mostly sexual. Now he thinks about her a lot and maybe be put in a situation where he could be with her again:
"we've been here before... last time you scratched at my door
the moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old
who just wanted more
if you wear that velvet dress"
the velvet dress must be something that is the proverbial 'straw that broke the camels back' Its the one thing that would put him over the edge if he saw her in it. then he cheats on whoever he is with:
"tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
it's a private show no one else going to know
I'm wanting"
Then the next day or whenever, hes back with the current girlfriend. He compares one as the sun and one as the moon. The old girl is the moon and the new girl the sun:
"sunlight sunlight fills my room
it's sharp and it's clear
but nothing at all like the moon... "
wow what an amazing song. i love it. without a doube the sexiest U2 song to date. any one agree with all of this?
