It gives the impression of somebody that's at an uncertainty in their life, but they're about to do something that will begin to solve their problem. So that works with BBnet3000's Bono/Gallagher interview - the uncertainty is his father's confusion over his faith, and now that he has died, he will find out the proof that he needed to swing his decision one way or the other. I suppose it's true that we can't prove anything until we experience it for ourselves, and this might involve losing something, in this case, life itself.
