Bad
U2 (ROCKDL) Lyrics

If you twist and turn away
If you try to avoid life's struggles

If you tear yourself in two again
If you hurt yourself emotionally and mentally, again

If I could, yes I would
If I had the power, I would help you

If I could, I would
If I had the power, I would help you

Let it go
Release your issues and emotions

Surrender
Give up control of your situation

Dislocate
Remove yourself from your current situation

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
If I could find a way to help you when you seem beyond help

Leave this heart of clay
Escape from your emotional and personal turmoil

See you walk, walk away
Watch you leave your emotional pain behind

Into the night
Go into darkness and beyond

And through the rain
Go through difficult times and come out better

Into the half-light
Enter a place between light and dark

And through the flame
Endure difficult times and come out unscathed

If I could through myself
If I could put myself at risk and help you

Set your spirit free, I'd lead your heart away
Helping you break free and guiding you towards healing

See you break, break away
Witnessing the moment of separation and liberation

Into the light
Moving from darkness into the light

And to the day
Emerging from hard times into a brighter future

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Transitional humming

To let it go
To surrender and let go of your struggles

And so to fade away
Becoming weaker and less significant until disappearing

Wide awake
Aware and alert

I'm wide awake
I am aware and alert

I'm not sleeping
I am actively engaging in life

Oh, no, no, no
Expression of denial or rejection

If you should ask then maybe they'd
If someone were to ask, they might

Tell you what I would say
Revealing my personal opinion or feelings

True colors fly in blue and black
Emotions are intense and complicated

Bruised silken sky and burning flag
The sky and flag are damaged and burning

Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
Emotions and experiences are clashing and chaotic

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Transitional humming

If I could, you know I would, if I could, I would
If I could help, I absolutely would

Let it go
Release your issues and emotions

This desperation
This feeling of hopelessness

Dislocation
Acute discomfort or pain in a joint or muscle

Separation, condemnation
Being isolated and judged harshly

Revelation in temptation
Feeling like a temptation is a sign or revelation

Isolation, desolation
Being alone and feeling immense sadness

Let it go
Release your issues and emotions

And so fade away
Becoming weaker and less significant until disappearing

To let it go
To surrender and let go of your struggles

And so fade away
Becoming weaker and less significant until disappearing

To let it go
To surrender and let go of your struggles

Oh now, and so to fade away
Expression of sadness and acceptance

I'm wide awake
Aware and alert

I'm wide awake
I am aware and alert

Wide awake
Aware and alert

I'm not sleeping
I am actively engaging in life

Oh, no, no, no
Expression of denial or rejection
