I think snowballz and eirie nite shade pretty much sumed it up. I saw the making of this video and bono stated that it parralyzes the song, and i always thougt the trappez artist died or his love for her died. Its a beautiful, bare, and intreging song. It may be one of the greatest songs ever made(or the best) I remember when i was a little boy, crying as i watched the video. (I felt so sorry for the dwarf)but he had good taste she looked good siting on that swing I belive it's about two people that love each other very much, but are afraid to commit to one another because of all the broken promises and silly things that didn't mean much to the narrater, so he's simply saying I DONT CARE ABOUT THOSE THINGS I LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU ARE and he felt like all they needed was eachother for their love to work out right. but she couldn't see past that so his love for her failed to exhist.
