This has been one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, U2, since I was in high school. I've been processing a lot of my childhood trauma lately and realizing, just like the title suggests, I've been stuck in a moment I can't get out of. I realize I was so hurt by being bullied as a kid that I've actively gone out of my way to avoid getting hurt again at all costs. Problem is by doing so I've kept myself in the moments I was traumatized instead of living in the present moment. I've been out of high school for almost 20 years, but mentally I've been stuck in the past this entire time instead of living in the present. To me, this song's about that.
