I was listening to this song today and realised how good and beautiful it is. Dunno if someone else feels this way about it, but the melody is so beautiful and the lyrics are just , they fit so well in the music. Here's the lyrics:
"Smile"
Gravity, it’s not pulling me
I won’t be a picture with no sound
Decaying, I’m praying
You are my air
But I need the ground to kneel upon
And love can’t be us all
I don’t want to see you smile
I’m breaking it, taking it
I’m breaking slowly in my mind
I’m seeing it, free in it
I know love is in this soul of mine
It’s not in your eyes
I don’t want
I don’t want to see you smile
It started light-hearted
I won’t be easier like you said
I’m going, flowing
I’m leaving on the day
Of the day I will live again
You will live again
I don’t want to see you smile
God knows, He knows me
Knows me, lonely
You see, hear me, love
Say it again
You’re not blind
The smoke machine
Is yours, not mine
I don’t want to see you smile
I will live again
You will live again
I just don’t want to see you smile
(Hey unleast I forgot the alphabet, u2.com hasen't got the lyrics )
Dunno what this song is "really" about, if that's a right thing to say (you know Bono ) but I find that it is about a person telling another one they've got to break up, wether it is lovers or a friend or whatever I dunno, any kind of relationship I guess, and the other person just not being able to see or not wanting to see how troubled their relationship is... "the smoke machine is yours, not mine", and the person pretending everything is fine "I don't wanna see you smile"... I think it is very beautiful and for some reason, not very common in U2 songs (maybe it is, if so, give me exaples), because I find that Kite could be similar but the person saying goodbye seems more sad than angry... I think it's anger here... whatever, this is turning into a very long post
Just wanted to say how beautiful I think it is and I'd be glad to listen to your your opinions as well
