City Of Blinding Lights Lyrics
Artist(Band):U2
Review The Song (36)Print the Lyrics
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

(cut)

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

Review about City Of Blinding Lights

City of Blinding Lights | Reviewer: cata | 4/29/09

hello everyone, I´m from Venezuela and U2 has been with me since I was a child, I love that song, the lyrics are spectacular, so deep, the sense of each word, each phrase, makes you think about life, religion, society, love. My favorite part: "the more you see the less you know..." "I knew much more then than I do now". I apologyze if my english trasncription isn´t right...



Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel | Reviewer: Botelho | 4/15/09

"Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel" means that anyone, of any religion, or even with no religion, receive blesson... its kind of a critic to some fanatic religious people that think that only THEM and THEIR beliefs are the right one.
To Kneel means to workship some kind of greater force, in this case, God.
But i think the rest of the song dont have a religious focus, it just talks about a woman and love in general.

U2 tryes to make lyrics that suits for everyone, this one is one of them.



Re:The line "blessings aren't just for those who kneel... luckily" is a great one - what does it mean? | Reviewer: Allien06 | 4/13/09

Ok for me as a Catholic i see it this way, you kneel in church praying and asking to God for a miracle or something very hard to get in real life, but when in fact some one might just get that without even asking the Lord for anything.
Example: A Winning Lottrey ticket.



...Luckily | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/29/09

The line "blessings aren't just for those who kneel... luckily" is a great one - what does it mean? Is it the idea that God sends rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous? Who knows what U2 mean by this phrase?



Sydney Australia U2 delayed Concert Nov-2006 | Reviewer: Dagz | 4/8/08

I have to say that this is my favourite "new" song from a band that has been there throughout my whole life, from child to adult. I had not heard this song before going out to the live concert in Sydney, where they played in the Telstra (Olympic) Stadium to more than one hundred thousand mad crazy fans. I was on the floor and it was the most spectacular beginning to an Aussie concert that I have ever seen. They started with this song and I had my epiphany when I looked up and saw the raindrops falling from the pitch black sky - with the raindrops only becoming visible when they hit the lights of the stadium, 100m above where I was standing. U2. The name, the band, the music. It means the world to me.



i miss u | Reviewer: Rad | 3/4/08

listening to the song on the way to work can sure beat the monday (or any other day) blues)..its both filled with hope and despair..a beautiful song..the lines that tug at your heart are
"dont look before u laugh
look ugly in a photograph"
u2, you are the best!



.. | Reviewer: pascal | 2/5/08

euhhhh,when they did sing this song on a bridge in america they have told what the meaning is of this song,just youtube it,it was about a time they traveled a lot from place to place to a big city and he was amazed by the city...



The meaning | Reviewer: Lizzie | 1/3/08

the meaning of the song is different for everybody, yes it could be about your faith, but bono said his songs dont reflect him as a person, they reflect the people who are spiritual and peaceful, something he said he is far from. He said he writes his songs because he is fascinated by these people. The meaning of this song for me, is about life in generall, especially love, we are meant to be happy, this to me is what this song is saying, "The more you see the less you know, less you find out as you go, i knew much more then than i do now." is the most inspirational and true line, to me that sums up life, but thats the greatest part of it :) anyway like i said just what i think different for everybody.



U2 from a different View | Reviewer: A | 12/3/07

U2 even though they don't write their songs in refrence to God its not a stretch to connect the two. Most of their songs I think have great meaning in them and this song spicifically hold many views of a true christian faith.
"In the city of blinding lights"- Heaven

"Can you see the beauty inside of me? What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?"- Our sin that took us away from God

"The more you see the less you know, The less you find out as you go"- The way the beautiful message of the gospel has been twisted into rules, quotas, and hoops to jump through and how people see that and believe thats what God is about.

I'm not saying that is why they wrote the song but its something that I think about and something that should not be over looked.

Any questions or comments feel free to e-mail me. -A



For Holly | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/1/07

I don't think someone can tell you what the song means, each piece of music means something different to everyone. It is whatever meaning comes from inside and makes the most sense to you.
