Ummmm... Actually guys its an anti suicide song. Jon actually said so at a concert I was at a couple of years ago, and truthfully it probably makes the most sense. (Has anyone else noticed that at times what a group says their song is about doesn't always match with everything that is in the song. I mean for example there are songs that U2 has said to be about one thing and years later Bono has come back and said that actually although he really didn't notice it when he wrote it the song was subconsciously written about something else. [If you're wondering what song that is, its "Tomorrow" off of War]). So I thought you all might like that little piece of information as to what Jon says (or at least said) the song was about overall. Actually it makes your analysis more complete in the end.
