Deep in the Heart," a B-side to I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For from U2's The Joshua Tree era, delves into themes of longing, loss, and intimacy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of separation and yearning, with lines like "Angel, everything is gonna be alright," suggesting both reassurance and an acknowledgment of emotional distance. The use of "angel" evokes a spiritual or idealized connection, underscoring the depth of the narrator's feelings.
The song’s imagery shifts between personal and symbolic, blending the earthly and the ethereal. References to darkness, sleepless nights, and shadows suggest a sense of isolation and inner turmoil. The recurring focus on "deep in the heart" reflects an emotional core, where love and despair coexist. This phrasing emphasizes how profoundly the narrator’s experiences are felt, resonating in the innermost parts of their being.
Angel, everything is gonna work out tonight
Thirty years old, sweet as a rose
Every petal of her wafer thin
Love will make you blind, creep up from behind
Get you jumping out of your skin
Angel, it's sink or swim
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed to shut out the light
Green as the leaves and the cure of the nettle sting
Do your homework, it'll work out right
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
The scent of cedar, I can still see her
You can't return to the place you never left
Angel, we'll make it work out tonight
Angel, I wanna be home tonight
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed, to shut out the light
Green as the leaves the cure of the nettle sting
Do your work and you'll work out right
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
