Songs quotes: U2 - Electrical storm (plus some reflections on the Two Chief World Systems )

Ok ladies and gentlemen, rambling time.
I wanted to post this because I wanted to have some opinions on this topic.
Like I said a thousand times, I'm studing Psychology at university, and I often think that basically psychology really is a bunch of crap. Really.
Anyway, I found this on Wikipedia, the scientifical definition of EMOTIONS.

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions may manifest themselves as subjective experiences, often associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French word émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'. The related term "motivation" is also derived from movere.

Well, it's a pretty like suitable definition, but I don't really like definitions. Actually, I don't like them at all.
I don't think that you can describe with such a tiny sentence, the true meaning of emotions.
How can you think to describe joy, sorrow, fear, anger, LOVE and HATE, only with this stupid definition?
Painters, poets, philosophers, literati, songwriters all over the world have been tried to find the right definition of emotions, only to try to inspire them, to provoke them in someone else.

I don't know if there's some real definition of what an emotion really is, all I can say is that all those feelings make us alive.
So, try to be alive and listen this. Great song, awesome lyrics, wonderful video. I know, I'm such a hopeless romantic! ;P
("Well if the sky can crack There must be some way back To love and only love" )

The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking

On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out

You're in my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry

Car alarm
Won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake
Dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold
But it'll get you through
Compromise
That's nothing new to you

Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been

In my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
Well if the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry

It's hot as hell
Honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Need the rain will wash away our bad luck

Well if the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm

Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry
