Lyric discussion by I know things 

This song is about life. Bono released this song to only one person because what he sees in that person is what he truly believes in. So he gave the song, knowing full well it would be released anyway. Only one person was really ready to hear the song, so he gave it to that person. The masses are not yet ready to hear the song, though it is inevitable it will be heard.
