U2 Symbols from Elevation Tour

[FlyYourKite]

Hi everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to get some discussion going about the various symbols used in the Elevation tour. Examples of these are the heart suitcase, the apple, the tree, the kite, the 4 arrows, etc. What are your interpretations of the meanings?

Let's not forget the ascending dove.


It's all about God and Eternity.

best symbol is the people in the elevator, it just seems so obvious and so simple. Very well done

Always loved the stuck in a moment arrows pointing to the dot.

oh boy, the flirting begins again

Im so sad our conversation from a few days ago had to come to an end

I liked the heart in the suitcase. It makes me sympathise with bono for having to leave home so much

I think most of the symbols are pretty straight-forward. Each song has a symbol that is related to the content of the song. They are all very clever and well done, I think. Some are a little more literal than others: 'New York' - apple, 'Kite' - kite, etc. I really like the dove as well - it's the symbol for the Holy Spirit, by the way. 'When I Look At The World' (the eye with a tear) and 'Elevation' - (the elevator with man and woman inside) are great. 'Walk On' (candle with barbed wire) is the symbol for Amnesty International, if I'm not mistaken.

i believe the dove was descending. it's all about the spirit. she moves with it.

The heart in the suitcase stands for "the only bagage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind" The answer is your heart.

It;s a nice symbol for "Walk on" and it also reflects that what nobel prize winner Aan Sung Yun (uhmmm....) did in her life. She left everything behind and followed her heart...
