Originally posted by raynman009:These lyrics are frightening to me somewhat. It seems they are of Bono dying and drifting into the light to meet his maker. Like he had a heart attack and was lying on the floor next to his bed waiting to leave us all. It starts with him saying he should be dead.
And then the lyrics in Blackout..."A dinosaur wonders why he still walks the Earth. Earthquake always happen when you're in bed." He wonders why he's still alive. And the earthquake could be a heart attack. As they often happen while sleeping. And references back to getting out from under the bed on Lights.
Obviously if this was the case, we're all lucky he survived it to write about it. He's meant so much to me for over 34 yrs of my life. Anyone else feel this way?

No no no no no. I'm simply going to edit it out and letting the song end right before it.
