About this song
The song is described as the most direct reference U2 has made to the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Although the band has written many songs about individual conflicts from that period, this is the first to name the overall conflict in its title.
What it's about
Bono sings about his own inner troubles that came from growing up during the conflict, taking ownership of them rather than blaming history.
