| This is the ultimate driving song, in my opinion. This is a great song just to drive along a scenic route to. I mean, the song is about freedom, and what is more free than just driving around the streets with this song blasting, hugging every curve of the roads and smoothly just accelerating to the beat of this song? What is more free than that?! With the sunlight in your face, just driving along, no exact destination, just driving...okay I'll stop being poetic now. This is a great song, that's all I can really say. | |

| This song is definitely talking about heaven, just like most of U2 songs, it is another reference to faith. I love U2. | |

| if you saw the live version of this song, you know that the stage is in the shape of a heart, there is a cross hanging near the back and the screens produce so much bright light, that all earthly things are just basked. this song was written shortly after bono became a christian and he was writting about how he understood heaven | |

| Back during the time of the whole Ethiopia starvation crisis, Bono and his wife Ali did a 6 week deal over there as volunteer relief workers or something of the such. The tent cities that were set up for the people were just lined up in rows, and that was how these people lived, hence there were streets without names. 'high on a desert plain' would be referring to Ethiopia, as well as the mentions of being 'blown by the wind' and 'trampled in dust', as it was a drought and I'd imagine, awfully dusty. Also, I would assume that 'and when I go there, i go there with you...' would be referring to Ali. IMO, the beginning lines are written in frustration at the misery and hopelessness of the situation and his inability to make very much of a difference. Thats what I think | |

| I think this place "where the streets have no name" is heaven. When they say "I want to feel sunlight on my face See that dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain ", it's an obvious referance to a wonderful, peaceful place. That's my thoughts. | |
