This is a thread for anyone wanting to post lyric interpretations from the NLOTH album. I wonder how much of himself Bono reveals in the songs.
Just the thread I've been waiting for.
What the hell does "helping god across the road like a little old lady" mean, exactly?

God doesn't need your help defending Him.
Ok, I like that.
I think the "militant atheist" suggestion was actually made by a reporter, and while Bono assented, he said it's also about Christians (himself included).
Some of my favorite lyrics so far (I don't listen to lyrics very carefully) are in Breathe.
We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I’ve found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it’s all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now
i'm curious as to what or who a "ju ju man" is?
Does anyone else feel that Bono sings Magnificent to the band, that's at least one interpretation I came up with when I thought about that song.
