U2 – Moment Of Surrender Lyrics | 15 years ago |
I hate to do this because the song works on so many levels but B did mention one of the characters on the album was a junkie and I think I got this one. I thought it was about how fame changed him at first but.... I tied myself with wire--tying arm to shoot up To let the horses run free--horse, another name for heroin Playing with the fire until the fire played with me-you have to cook heroin The stone was semi-precious--heroin is a rock We were barely conscious--um, yeah Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty--people often talk about their drug as a love affair Even on our wedding day--first time he tried heroin So is the moment of surrender to the drug or to God once the character's addicted? |
