"Crumbs From Your Table" adalah lagu yang dibawakan oleh U2 yang mengeksplorasi tema-tema ketidakadilan sosial, pengkhianatan, dan pencarian makna spiritual. Liriknya yang kuat mengkritik ketidaksesuaian antara retorika kebaikan dengan tindakan yang mementingkan diri sendiri, mengecam kesenjangan antara yang kaya dan miskin, dan meratapi hilangnya martabat manusia. Melalui metafora dan bahasa kiasan, lagu ini menyuarakan kerinduan mendalam, namun hati-hati untuk percaya dan mengalami sesuatu yang lebih substantif daripada janji-janji kosong.
Crumbs From Your Table Lyrics
U2
From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
