I have been trying to decipher the lyrics to and thus the meaning behind U2 - Always. We all know this can be incredibly difficult with Bono! So here goes, unsure parts are in italics...
U2 - Always
Here today and gone tomorrow
Crack the bone and get to the marrow
To be with you and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sorrow
For you have the golden key ... Always
What we've lost we don't need ... Always
And if your cat won't let you sleep ... Always
Be the album and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool - yes be awkward
Don't look in any,the obvious place
The soul needs beautiful ?????
Get down off your holy cloud ... Always
God will not deal with the proud ... Always
And,But if you dream then dream out loud ... Always
It's a ??? of yours ... Always
I want you
I want you
I want you
??? touch me now ??? side ???[/]
I wanted to be in love
I wanted to come ????
You say come be know yourself ... Always
But youfind yourself in someone else ... Always
And always wear a safety belt ... Always
Wait for me I'm running late ... Always
This is the moment that we share ... For Always
Turn each song into a prayer ... For Always
Now I am forever ???? ... For Always
For Always ...
For Always ...
Okay - Some interesting stuff here... I won't go into a full analysis yet, because a lot of the lyrics are still undecipherable which, I think could change the entire perception of the song. I'll follow that up later.
But anyway, the first impression I get is that U2 are masterfully capturing the emotion, reasoning, logic, and fallacies of the infinite and finite. How one is contained in the other, how the bounded carries the boundless, and the inseperability of the two. U2 seems to be consumed with someone or something here that is seperate yet inseperable from the self.. my wager: the holy spirit.
When I first heard the song, I was floored. Something about it spoke to me immediately. Someone here said that Always and BD are brothers/sisters. They couldn't be more right. Both clearly have some of the same core musical elements, but were developed in two distinct directions which end up complimenting and carrying each other. It is of no coincidence that Always was chosen as a B-Side to the BD Single!
