You miss too much these days if you stop to think

| Maybe you're right that it's partly about Judas and Jesus, but I would like to remind you that it was the official score for a film by the same title: Until The End Of The World by Wim Wenders, and the lyrics also refer to the movie. If I remember well, the leading character played by Solveig Dommartin escaped from a car accident, then "took the money" from the bank robbers, got together with a man played by Sam Neill. There is also a deective whose drink was spiked by Dommartin. And the movie is somehow about the end of the world, etc, etc. | |

| In this song, the speaker, Judas Iscariat, is having a conversation with Jesus Christ, whom Judas betrayed to the Romans. | |

| I heard bono talk about this song and he reaffirmed that it is mostly about Judas and Jesus. But after listening to him talk about songs, I think Bono is the master of dual meanings. So many of his songs are about more than just one thing. It's like he has an idea and just goes with it. | |

| This is by far their best tune. Defn in my top 5 songs. But this song is actually about Edge's split up with his wife. They divorced before Achtung was recorded. I remember reading that in a couple of articles when the album came out. Damn women put him through a series depression I guess. .....Last time we met was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom.... ....You lead me on with those innocent eyes... ....I kissed your lips and broke your heart..... | |
