Hell yes it is.
If one doesn't find a way to transcend law and hate and the merciless type of "justice" that travels at it's side....that one's existence will continue to look like the self-preserving dark dream that it is, full of ghosts that need crushed in hopes of not being crushed themself.
There is something beyond that regardless of what all the ridiculous voices are shouting.
"Love is always about giving up control, and people are trained to think of taking control—even of God. In my experience, most people would sooner be afraid and in control than in love and out of control."
And once again, U2's newest song seems to suggest that U2 believes so also. Watch the video here.
GET ON YOUR BOOTS
The future needs a big kiss
Wind blows with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he won’t scare you
Hey, sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah
You free me from the dark dream
Candy floss, ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren’t real
Here’s where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real
You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
No you don’t know how beautiful / You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are
That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up
But we’re into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations
I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don’t want to talk about wars between nations...
Not right now
Hey sexy boots, no!
No no no...
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now!
Bossy boots
You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
No you don’t know how beautiful / You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are...
Hey sexy boots
I don’t want to talk about the wars between the nations
Sexy boots, yeah
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, now
God, I’m going down
I don’t wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound

Aside: I blaspheme herewith to say this:
I reckon U2 should get on their bikes.
Although the lyrics are pretty good. I haven't really listened to the lyrics because I've been too busy thinking about what a really boring song it is.
Sue, I understand completely. The first few times I heard the song I was at a loss for words actually. Well, maybe not completely. I think I said something like...You've got to be kidding!!!! And if this is the strongest song on the new CD I can't imagine how weak the rest of it is going to be.
I really like listening to the song now.
I remember not liking Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop at all except for One and Mysterious Ways when I first heard them. It wasn't until much later that they actually have turned into my fav. U2 CDs.
I'm still holding out hope for this new one. We will have to wait and see.
It might end up being a "Crap Album" as Bono calls them?
Meh. We'll see.
