Mothers: what is that instrument (the one that plays the melody)? That's not Edge's guitar, is it?
Kite: the part "i'm a man, i'm not a child, a man who sees the shadow behind your eyes"
What is your interpretation of it?
IMO, it refers to Bono's father (i'm a man, i can take whatever may happen with you. you don't need to act tough&strong with me, i see the "shadow behind your eyes"). Or, he said in an interview he was inspired for the song when he was flying a kite with his daughters. So, it could also be : i'm a man, ready to take on the responsibilities of parenthood (as opposed to Mofo, where Bono was "looking for the father of my two litlle girls"). You can always come to me in times of need. ("the shadow behind your eyes" part)
What do you think?
Also, what is your interpretation of Acrobat's lyrics in the part "to change the cup, to fill it up, to drink it slow i can't let you go"?
