It's okay Eyecon, you probably didn't realize how you sounded. It is much harder to communicate over text conversations than when you are talking with someone in real life and can decipher different tones of voice and body language. Interesting interpretation xoxokt... |

I still think its about New York. I don't think every song needs to have a deep meaning behind it. Sometimes they just tell a story. How do you know what it's really about anyway Eyecon? Have you talked to Bono about it? |

This song is about a man who moved to New York with his wife (perhaps from a small town, or farm), and fell in love with it. New York is an incredible city, and there is so much going on and so much to do. Being from a small town myself, I was overwhelmed with how amazing NYC was. Anyway, the man loved NYC, but his wife hated it and wanted to move out and start a family in their old hometown. However, the man enjoyed NYC so much that he couldn't leave, so he lost her. "In New York, I lost it all to you and your vices Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid-life crisis I hit an iceberg in my life You know I'm still afloat You lose your balance, lose your wife In the queue for the lifeboat You better put the women and children first But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York" Just my interpretation. |
