Ok guys. I need help interpreting a couple of lines from the song. Especially if there's any symbolism attached to these lines, I need to know. Thanks.
...From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below...
...In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum...
...You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire...
...This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down...
...Across the field you see the sky ripped open.
Also, what is Bono talking about in the lines from "And I can see those fighter planes... as a man breathes into a saxophone..."?
Finally, is "one hundred, two hundred" referring to the dollar bills that preceedes, the fighter planes that follows, or both?
