I think it's about teenage angst bullshit. Bono explained in a concert I saw that he wrote this on his 18th birthday rightbefore he went to London to deliver U2's first demo. |

I remember reading that Bono wrote this about the loss of his mother and going to her funeral. |

I lived in Tucson, Az when this song first came out. U2 started and ended the Joshua Tree tour in AZ. They helped to impeach the newly elected governor Evan Meecham. Evan Meecham was an ignorant SOB who publicly made racial slurs against Native Americans and blacks. He strongly opposed the MLK holiday, which of course angered the lads from U2. To make matters worse, after Bono voiced his opinion of the situation at the tour opening concert in Tucson, Meecham retaliated by calling U2 a "bunch of pitiful Micks".
Anyway, to make a long story short....U2 were very enamourate of the Southwestern Desert region during this time. crooked crosses may also refer to the Sahuaro cacti that peppert the desert landscape. |

i read in an early interview that the song was written about the suicide of Ian Curtis. Ian Curtis was the lead singer of Joy Division who later became new Order. |
