Sexual Messages in U2's Songs

[Sister Moon]

Purple haze is a drug song.....considering the year it was written,(about 1969 ..no jokes please!) was probably referring to LSD. You guys are probably too young to remember when this was first released. Purple Haze was the first actual RECORD I bought! And I was only 14 yrs. old at the time.
Here's some of the lyrics...."Purple haze all in my brain, lately things don't seem the same, Actin' funny and I don't know why, Scuse me while I kiss the sky".
Bono's response"If you want to kiss the sky better learn how to kneel , On Your Knees boy".
Yeah AB is definitely a SEX/relationships turned bad/ album with God in there too. And I love it, defintely my favorite album!

hmm i listened to zooropa and i observed these:
Some Days Are Better Than Others:

if you change "days" to "d**ks" see what happens on the first stanza:

"Some d**ks are dry, some d**ks are leaky
Some d**ks come clean, other d**ks are sneaky.
Some d**ks take less, but most d**ks take more
Some slip through your fingers and on to the floor.
Some d**ks are quick, but most d**ks are speedy
Some d**ks use more force than is necessary.
Some d**ks just drop in on us.
Some d**ks are better than others."

DEAR LORD XDD

About the "d**ks*:

[Galeongirl]

You just have to keep this thread alive eh Bri?

 

[~BrightestStar~]

But hey, someone bumped it before me!

 

[Galeongirl]

Some people are just sad perverts.... and you're certainly one of them!

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Hey!
I'm not sad!

 

[Galeongirl]

Some are cheerful, happy perverts, ofcourse!

 

[~BrightestStar~]

That's much better.

While on this topic- Does anyone else get extremely uncomfortable listening to the end of HMTMKMKM? Ew.

I remember listening to it on the way to my class the other day and sitting for about 10 minutes like this:

I never liked the song at all but I get the urge every couple years of maybe attempting to listen to it. And I always forget about the end of the song and set myself up!

Why

 

[StaySafeTonight]

My ears felt violated from the groaning...

 

[bonocomet]

Bono's been moaning and groaning in U2 songs since day 1, it's pretty normal for him really

 

[Galeongirl]

Imagine how you would feel if you found the bono noises website mate.

I must be sick as well because everything you quoted ive thought too

Same here,I had always thought that about Kite now,even listening to it when I got it I was like 'Wow'.
Me and my dirty mind...

'Babyface' Is prime example..."Comin` home late at night,to turn you on..."
"Slow down child, let me untie your lace...I got slow motion on my side..."

 

[Rosebud]

That's actually about tv. But imo it's about a guy watching a porn movie over and over instead of some model..

Happy New Years Day

[Galeongirl]

Don't worry Comet, the album will eventually come and we will get new lyrics!

 

[purpleoscar]

"A mole digging in a hole, digging up my soul now going down excavation. I and I in the sky you make me feel that I can fly, so high. Elevation!"

 

[Rosebud]

omg i will never be able to hear these lyrics the same way again...

Well my heart is where it's always been
*My head is somewhere in between*

"I and I in the sky" has a spiritual message for me. I or "I Am" as quoted in the Bible who reflect God or creator. And the second I, would be my soul.
