"The Ground Beneath Her Feet" is a song by U2 from the film, The Million Dollar Hotel, and featured on the film's soundtrack
.It was released as a bonus track at the end of ATYCLB in only a few territories.
The lyrics are directly inspired by Salman Rushdie's 1999 novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet, in which the song appears as a poem.
The story explores themes of love, loss, and the fragility of human existence, and these themes are mirrored in the song’s lyrics.
Bono's words tell a tragic love story, lamenting a world where the protagonist's love has been lost, with the "ground beneath her feet" symbolizing stability, which vanishes with the absence of his beloved. The song taps into a sense of disorientation and emotional upheaval, reflecting the experience of love as both a grounding and destabilizing force.
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat
How she made us feel
How she made me real
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet
And now I can't be sure of anything
Black is white and cold is heat
For what I worshipped stole my love away
It was the ground beneath her feet
It was the ground beneath her feet
Go lightly down your darkened way
Go lightly under ground
I'll be down there in another day
I won't rest until you're found
Let me love you, let me rescue you
Let me bring you where two roads meet
Oh, come back above where there is only love
Only love
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
Let me love you true
Let me rescue you
Let me bring to where two roads meet
Let me love you true
Let me rescue you
I want to bring you to where two roads meet
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
My oh my
