I have always found messages of hope, love desire, grief and anger with U2's lyrics to be freeing in the sense of allowing me a brief minute of total emotions.
The simple joy that that music allows us to feel the emotion when you allow it to breathe within your soul.
Life experiences come alive when you open your heart and mind to lyrics. We can't experience love, joy, sadness or fear without opening our hearts to the feeling. The idea of walking around the world numb to all of this seems to be holding you in a prison for a sentence you yet to understand.
U2's music allows ones self to break free for a few minutes and feel those feelings and express thoughts that may be locked inside of your heart. Here are a few of those lyrics that I have found to allow us to breathe.
Ordinary Love
We can't fall any further
If we can't feel ordinary love
And we cannot reach any higher
If we can't deal with ordinary love
Invisible
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only us
There’s only us
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only us
There’s only us
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only you
And there’s only me
There is no them
Love Is Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
Hawkmoon 269
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love.
