I was listening to So Cruel and i started thiking. When listening to the lyrics, it brings up emotions of love, betrayal, a feeling of desperation of knowing you're losing someone you love. Something that most of us have felt atleast once in our life.
But this brought up a question. Who wrote the lyrics? I'm assuming Bono has never felt these emotions since he's been with the same person all of his life. So he doesn't actually know how these lyrics actually feel. Edge Probably felt this because of his divorce, but I don't think he wrote any lyrics in AB. And I can't see Edge telling Bono "Hey Bono, write 'Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time' "
Maybe Bono had an affair and this is his how he felt after his mistress left him.
Or maybe I'm just way, way off.
Any ideas?
