Subscriber ingenpat 14 Posted March 15, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 15, 2019 Is there someone who can explain the meaning of this beautiful song to me? Because English is not my daily language I am not sure about the meaning of this song. I can guess, but I would like to know for sure. Because I want to do something with the lyrics. Thanks!!

Don't know if you have tried to translate the lyrics into your native language, but here are the lyrics: Right at the start You put this into words How you think we should proceed, yeah You wanted me alone With the pictures that you've seen Of where you haven't been But where you want to go Ask the leaf and ask the bird Not to sing or speak a word We are not fictitious characters But we don't belong to this world The book, the book of your heart One tiny mark, an entry In the book of your heart It's written on skin To even be in The book of your heart You can change your name, or even who you are That's the beauty of the scar That is the contract of the heart This is our wedding day This is the promise that we'll stay Through the long descriptive passages Where we don't know what to say The book, the book of your heart One tiny mark, an entry In the book of your heart It's written on skin To even be in The book of your heart Babe I don't belong to you Love is what we choose to do Babe you don't belong to me It's not that easy The beautiful thing about U2 lyrics is that you can try to figure out what Bono is talking about, or figure out a meaning for you. It is definitely one of my all-time favourite "b-side" songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
