U2: Get Out Of Your Own Way Meaning
Song Released: 2017
Get Out Of Your Own Way Lyrics
-
Brilliant lyrics expansive enough to include multiple meanings:
Slaves "looking for someone to lead them" can be US slavery, the Isrealites in Egypt, Dreamers seeking to escape the enslavement of poverty....
Likewise, the Master "looking for someone to need him" can be slave owners relying the South's economic dependence to rationalize slavery, or Trump and his large ego...
Personally, I think of the present day KKK (and those of like mind) who are enslaved by their hate, and then God, the Master of us all, who wants us to need him enough to leave our hate behind and follow in his love! -
"This song is like a protest song against yourself, really, because it turns out some of the biggest obstacles we encounter on the way to a better world is often ourselves." (songfacts0
