So if he is following through that toast "on a promise", it means that he is making that toast to fulfil a promise he made to God.

He probably made a promise to God that he'd have a metaphorical toast to him every time he sang this song. The original prayer comes from Eugene Peterson, so his situation was obviously different maybe Eugene made a promise to have a real toast to God before his meals so as not to forget how lucky he was, how blessed he was. In AmE this short pronunciation is the usual one. You will find it many times in this song. A few changes are made, and for example, this phrase here is " that hold me inside " in the original version.

Why does he want to touch it? Also, God appears many times in the Bible under the image of a fire for example the column of fire guiding Israel out of Egypt. The flame may also be an image of the Holy Spirit, representing in this case God's wisdom and spiritual illumination as the tongues of fire from Pentecostest. In any case, what Bono is talking about here is that he wants to reach God's light. A trace is a visible mark or evidence left by someone or something, so if something disappears without a trace, it disappears completely, not even a small mark is left.

But in this improvised live version Bono refers to the joy of victory from the battle suggested in the previous line. In English we can use NOT to negate a verb and NO to negate a noun: - I am not a doctor - I have no friends When the verb HAVE means "to possess", it is used as a normal verb negative with "don't" or as a special verb with "got" no "don't" used , but it is not often used as a special verb without "got": - normal I have a house, I don't have a car - special with got I've got a house, I haven't got a car.

Where the Streets Have No Name

When iron rusts, it gets a red cover, when silver rusts it turns black, when copper rusts it turns green, when your love your English or any other ability rusts, it gets more difficult to use because if you don't speak English for a long time, it gets rusty and you find it much more difficult to speak it because you forgot many things.

If your love gets rusty, your ability to love deteriorates, but if it "turns to rust" then all of it is rust, so now it's useless, you can't love.

For example, if a group of horses run over you, they trample you and you are badly hurt, and of course, you are "trampled in dust", because the passing horses or the strong wind produce a dust cloud when passing by. Here we'll transcribe some interpretations from different people.

Let's start with Bono's own interpretation: " Where the Streets Have No Name is more like the U2 of old than any of the other songs on the LP, because it's a sketch - I was just trying to sketch a location, maybe a spiritual location, maybe a romantic location. I was trying to sketch a feeling. I often feel very claustrophobic in a city, a feeling of wanting to break out of that city and a feeling of wanting to go somewhere where the values of the city and the values of our society don't hold you down.

An interesting story that someone told me once is that in Belfast, by what street someone lives on you can tell not only their religion but tell how much money they're making - literally by which side of the road they live on, because the further up the hill the more expensive the houses become. That said something to me, and so I started writing about a place where the streets have no name. I understood it to be talking about a fallen world and the glorious place we'll go after we leave. I bought the MercyMe DVD and they say something to the effect of "People always ask us what our favorite song about heaven is.

And ' I Can Only Imagine ' will always have a special place in our hearts. But our favorite song talks about a place where all the honor and all the glory and all the recognition will go to the Creator of the Universe. All of the honor will go to God where the streets have no name. He feels suffocating in this imperfect world, he wants to run, hide and tear down the walls that hold him inside to go to that wonderful place where the streets have no name. But the song is also an invitation to join him, because he can't do this alone "when I go there, I go there with you". In AmE this short pronunciation is the usual one.

You will find it many times in this song.

Missing lyrics by U2?

In my opinion, this line is of great importance because it clarifies what he is really talking about. Many people think this song is about heaven; Bono doesn't explicitly say he prefers to leave it more open to personal interpretation but he implicitly admits it: he talks about a perfect place where one can finally be happy and he usually prays at the beginning of this song, so that place he's talking about must have a religious significance, and being Bono a born again Christian, that place has to be heaven.

Or has it?
