I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear your voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear your voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug

These really keep you "clear". Things like politics and petty disagreements go out the window when you are reasonable, logical and are motivated by love.
I know so many people with chronic illnesses or with cancer, and this song always makes me think of them.
I believe this song is particularly about writing, creating. Probably songwriting specifically, since the author is such. :-)

The reason I mention this is because this son "Miracle Drug" was one I listened to over and over (and actually quietly sang to him) while he was in the hospital. The lyrics couldn't be more fitting from a father to his son in the type of situation we were in. Usually I have to dig deep into a song to really think about how I can take the lyrics to fit my everyday life. With "Miracle Drug", it was as if the song was written for me to sing to my son. It was exactly what I was feeling and going through. Thank you U2.
"Beneath the noise, below the din,

while Larry does the backing vocals before "God, I need..." etc. ("Oh yeah, oohhh-oohhh yeah"). Not sure if this is just the live version, but best bit! Larry should do more backing vocal.
I see them when you smile
Those lines for some reason or another remind me of The Edge.
