U2's With or Without You. About Sin or a woman?

[Passions]

I always thought U2's With or without you was about a woman. But, I heard the argument that the song is actually talking about Sin. What is your take and why?

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

I always thought it was about a woman. But I guess it means whatever you want it to mean.

 

[Zim Hosein]

It's always been about a woman to me, it's just the way I take the lyrics. It might be about sin, but for me, it's about a woman.

If you listen to the words...............all of them throughout the song, it makes sense being about a woman.................not so much if you try to make it about sin.............😉

[KatLei]

Bah, I can live with or without sin, but just can't live with or without women. *sigh* 😛

Let me ask Bono and I'll get back to you.

With or Without You


See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Slight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

Sounds like it's about a woman to me.

Could be either, but on the surface it certainly seems to be about a woman. Only Bono knows for sure.
