And I wonder why people think MoS is lyrical genius.
I wonder why people think MoS is not that superb...
But before we get off-topic...

The lyrics are sometimes rather unsubtle, eg. this 'shitty world' or the oranges/tank one, even critics singled that out as being weak.

The great potential that Cedars har for me is that it paints pictures in my imagination. To me, this is the song I waited for since Walk to the water.
While I'd agree that the shitty world line is not the best metaphor ever used on a song, I wanna point out that the oranges/tank line is a strong one. I can easily imagine a newspaper image showing exactly this. A starving or troubled region, children having to drink dirty water and then there's a modern day warrior -associated with killing- bringing something from a tank -a machine designed to kill- and the little thing he has is an orange. A small little thing representing life, vitality. A small gesture, but a moving one.
The usual U2 cheese is largely present on this album ( Magnificent, Stand up comedy, White as Snow, Crazy) but I can't find it in Cedars.
But that's just my 0,02 $
