Miracle
U Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape and walk right out

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a newborn baby's head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up on a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here, sweetheart
Just when you quit

I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space and time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug

God, I need your help tonight

Beneath the noise, below the din
I hear your voice, it's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger, you took me in"

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
Yeah, I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug





Miracle, miracle drug

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Miracle Drug" by U2 are a beautiful ode to love and the connection shared between two people. The song begins with the desire to be inside someone's head and understand them on a deeper level. Bono sings about wanting to hear them when they call out and to see their thoughts take shape. The longing for a deeper understanding of the other person is elevated by the comparison made with the scent of freedom - both are pure and untouched.


The chorus of the song is a declaration of faith in a miracle drug. The reference to science and the human heart is likely a nod to medical research and the possibilities it holds for curing diseases like AIDS. The line "there is no failure here, sweetheart, just when you quit" is a reminder that hope must be maintained, and the fight against disease is ongoing. The final verse of the song is a beautiful nod to the theme of love and empathy. Bono sings about hearing a voice whispering beneath the noise - this could be interpreted as the voice of a loved one or even a higher power. The final line "I was a stranger, you took me in" is likely a reference to the biblical story of the Good Samaritan.


Overall, "Miracle Drug" is a song about hope, love, and empathy. It is a beautiful reminder that no matter how different we may seem on the surface, we are all connected by our shared humanity.

LYRICS:

When you hold me
There's a place I go
It's a different high
Oh, no
When you touch me
I get vulnerable
In a different light
Oh, no

Are you too cynical
To believe in a miracle?
Let you slip through my hands
But could you take a chance on me?
Can you forgive it all
To believe in a miracle?
Yeah, I put you through hell
But I'm askin' you to believe
To believe in a miracle

To believe in a miracle
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

When you hold me
There's a place I go
It's a different high
Oh, no
When you touch me (when you touch me)
I get vulnerable (I get vulnerable)
In a different light
Oh, no

Are you too cynical
To believe in a miracle?
Let you slip through my hands
But could you take a chance on me?
Can you forgive it all
To believe in a miracle?
Yeah, I put you through hell
But I'm askin' you to believe
To believe in a miracle

To believe in a miracle
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah (to believe in a miracle)

Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
