Invisible (RED) Lyrics

This song is sung from the point of view of Jesus Christ. The point of the song is to realize that we're all in this together, and we need to let Christ into our lives in order to save ourselves. I'm not sure what Bono means by this part, but I'm certain it's spoken from Jesus Christ's perspective:

I finally found my real name. I won't be me when you see me again. No, I won't be my father's son.

Bono wants to pull us out of a frozen time spiritually to realize that we need each other and we need to help each other, as Jesus would do. "There is no them. There's only us."

Wow, I had the same suspicion here, this "I" being in the point of view of Jesus. And "there is no them, there's only us", I think about there being only us, humanity, as God created us to be equal and the same, in his image.

The "I won't be me when you see me again." find fascinating, and it relates to Jesus too. He died on the cross as a lamb, but in his second coming he'll be like a lion, a different kind of Jesus.

"A body and a soul You don't see...

I finally found my real name. I won't be me when you see me again. No, I won't be my father's son

>could mean that when Bono gets to heaven and sees his Dad again, he will have changed, he will be a changed man, he finally found his purpose for this life.

'I won't be my father's son'

'I won't be my father's son'

could also mean:

I will be my own man or as Frank Sinatra might have said, I'll live my life my own way.

I'm sure his father probably felt the same way as well.
