Now i agree when i first heard that line i felt it sounded a bit clunky in MD but i understood it as this:
Newborn babies, when their all clean and sleepy and wrapped up sorta smell a bit milky and sweet and just its a smell, its a nice smell, its not a STRONG smell but its there and it just smells...nice.
To me what i think Bono was trying to say is that a baby is innocent. It doesn't know the shit that goes on in the world, its innocent and defenceless and fragile but its alive and its smell is a part of it. It doesn't DO anything to smell like that it just smells like a baby.
The same goes with freedom. We all have freedom, but its a fragile thing and can easily be taken away, in its pure form its an innocent and wonderful thing (like a newborn) but when it gets corrupted from people trying to take it away we see how fragile and defenceless it is and we are without it.
I think its a really poigniant line.
well done bono, you never cease to amaze me!
