X-Xanax and Wine. I love most U2 songs. “Xanax and Wine” is no exception. It opens with a loud and dirty guitar riff. The song itself seems comprised of three distinct sections. The accompaniment clearly changes on the line “all I want is a picture of you” and again at the chorus of “save me.” The lyrics seem to be about replacing a relationship with substance abuse, needing one or the other to survive. Or they may just signify needing a moment of calm in a world of chaos. However, as far as side effects are concerned, taking Xanax and drinking wine is not widely recommended.
All I want is a picture in a locket, your face in my pocket; I take a pill to stop it.
U2, “Xanax and Wine,” Unreleased and Rare, 2004
