| Not that any of you will care but some teachers at my school did this song at a talent contest but changed "elevation" to "eduction". It was pretty good actually :) | |

| I like U2, but I'm not a huge fan, especially of their newest album; but dude, this song is so fun to listen to. The beat and everything is awesome to hear, so I like it, though I don't like too much other stuff they've made. | |

| Yeah. I'll agree with ^. I think, though it has a little meaning as what wydok said, but it doesn't go deep like their other stuff. Hey sic n twisted, go hang with your little Queen groupies, and stop insulting U2 songs by your presence. (no offense to you Queen fans out there, please) | |

| Hey, guys, buy a sense of humor. It's called CAMP. I think it's hilarious that this song won a grammy. That's some silly shit, but it is a fun listen. | |

| this song doesnt mean anything! it isnt supposed to. its just a bunch of words that ryme well. U2 always make songs which really mean something, emotionaly or politicaly or whatever but Elevation is Bono just saying hey we are a rock band and we can sing about whatever we want. he is just proving theyre not serious all the time. and with the energy that this song has why should anyone care what it means? | |

| Well I first heard this song when the local tv station used it as the opening song for their weekly friday night show (durring high school football season only!) that highlights all of the local high school football teams games that night. As for the meaning, I always took it to simply be about the way being so in love with some one makes you feel endlessly happy or elevated. | |

| I’d mention that during Catholic mass the Priest’s ritual of raising the wine over his head for the congregation to witness is called “elevation” – perhaps this has already been suggested but I didnt see it. | |
