a metaphor for time?

[edit]

i dont think so, the lyrics sais that "time is a train",and where does a train stop? at a station,so when time stops, you die right? so maybe it means that the station is death,or maybe heaven. the lyrics "Leaves you standing at the station" kinda supports this.

Sound at the start

[edit]

If the strange marimba-like sound that the article refers to is the quiet 'tink-tink-tink' before the first bit of guitar comes in, then I believe the article is wrong. I have been told, but I don't have a source for this, that that sound was that of Paul McGuiness (U2's manager) tapping on his coffee mug with his spoon.

I think that this sentence should be referenced if it is correct, edited and referenced if it is incorrect, or deleted if no evidence can be found either way.

I'm quite sure that the sound at the beginning of the track is the sound of guitar strings being strummed above the nut of the guitar (i.e. on the headstock). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.212.7.17 (talk) 19:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Key change?.

[edit]

The article states the song changes key in the choruses. There is no reference for this, except the album's sleeve. I no longer have access to my Achtung Baby CD (it's buried in my garden - seriously. but that's another story). But, I doubt very much that a change in key is mentioned in an album sleeve.

The choruses are indeed a change in chord progression patterns - that's not the same thing as a key change. Eg, RTTSS has a clear change from the D-G chord pattern of the verse to an A-Bm-G-D (or similar) in the chorus. That's a change in chord progressions - not a key change. I cannot hear a key change in ZS, rather, it appears to be a chord change.

This needs clarification, and I also suggest the CD sleeve be removed as it doesn't seem to be referencing anything (although, I'm happy to be corrected). --Merbabu (talk) 03:57, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is ridiculous to have a non-hit album track squatting on a generic station name. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:02, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
