I've seen many, many references to self destructive love in U2 lyrics. Everything from With or Without You to much of Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop. It seems that these references are the narrator loving a self destructive person. He cannot handle this other person's nature, but cannot lose this person either.
Some songs:
With or Without You
Gone
Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
One
Stuck In A Moment
Stay
Last Night on Earth
among others
This is just something that I find as an interesting recurring theme. I know that some of these songs are not about love relationships, but these themes creep in. How do you feel?
