This song by U2 is a very enlightening song,for myself I have lived some of the metaphorical inlays of the lyrics(words) and can identify with personal life expirences between myself and my only son.The song also gives an aura of look before you leap,hold your mud,or harsh words because they can hit,in the song where it says "be careful where you aim,because where you just might hit" and its just plain old hard to live something down or take it back,even if its the truth,some people can't handle the truth at times because of not seeing,or have not yet had life expirence in matters.The part of the song where it says " there's no blood thicker than ink" for me became a reference of money and biblical scriptures--there is no blood thicker than ink--the ink that is printed on money and the ink used to print biblical scriptures---both can and have caused problems,also ink that is printed on newsprint...these ink references I have placed can cause issues and arguements and words can be spoken or printed you just can't take back and as we realize cause troubles. The part of the song where it states " I had a staring roll--I was the bad guy who walked out " I been there a prodical son,and it I suspect it can idicate "you have reasons for it,but you reason will probably not be understood or accepted and the part of the song " nothing is a simple as you think" for this an apology or exppression of remorse and explination of it can be ruined with a excuse or excuses.Finally here the song is one of U2 best works and basicly says for me anyway "every saint has a past--every sinner has a future" is a complicated process with time,reasoning,and I don't have all the anwsers,so move forward and loke the song says somethings you can't get around,you can't get around them,SO WE WILL JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEM TOGETHER TILL DEATH SEPARATES US. thankyou
