In fact, telling about whether the song I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For? Before exploring more deeply, we go back to a few years behind. In 1987, U2, released an album that received praise from various circles, The Joshua Tree. The second single of the album, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, then became one of the biggest hits of the band, ranking in various lists of best rock songs of all time' in decades since its release.
Apparently, the lyrics of the song I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For are often associated with theology. Quoted by VOI from various sources, the following is a detailed interpretation:
I have climated the highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you
I have run, I have kicked I have planned these city walls These city walls Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Bono's fatigue with the world can be seen from the opening line of the song. This song adopts the perspective of someone who has seen many things, from the height (climbed the highest mountains) to the lowest regrettable point (crawled). However, there is still certain dissatisfaction, a deep desire to pursue meaning.
This is assumed in the title - that there is actually something to look for, a big goal for us to find. Maybe this helps explain the long-lasting popularity of the song: it's a poem for universal human anxiety and a search for meaning, even though it's supported by a glossy gospel choir and guitar.
I have kissed honey lipsFelt the healing in her fingertipsIt burned like fire This burning desire
I have speech with the tongue of clouds I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

This line of lyrics implies the search for various things human love, physical healing, religious experience, even giving up on the temptation with the same end result. This makes vortices feel cold, empty, without true life. In this case, Bono channeled the wisdom of Ecclesiastes (Corrupts), famous Jewish texts that are very similar to the alkitabiah's existentialism. It is all about that ecclestiastes messages systematically record its various efforts to find life of good' through power, through sex, through wealth, through wisdom. In the end, the assessment is similar to Bono's assessment: all of this makes us want more.
I believe in the Kingdom Come When all the colors will be blended into oneBleed into oneBut yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you sold the chainsCarried the cross of my shameOf my shame You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Bono acknowledged the great Christian hope: a future Kingdom when everyone is united in a perfect unity. In order for there to be no doubt about the typical Christian nature of this evil, he added a sentence about bearing the cross of shame. However, he continued, there is still an incomplete feeling at this time, a gaping awareness that even though history ends in glory for those who believe, the present is often marked by ordinary things that turn off the taste. But the song ended in a light tone, because even though Bono was still actively looking for, he did it as a hopeful person.
CS Lewis once said that if we find in ourselves a desire that his complacency cannot find, maybe this is proof that we were created for a different place. It seems that this is a reflection of I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Or, in other words, in the famous words Agustinus centuries ago: Our heart is restless until he rests inside you. (Our feelings are restless until they rest in You).
