| Sexual imagery is there, but it conveys the tension of humanity. The edge between sin and salvation. I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side "Lord" capitalized refers to Christ. The soldier drew his sword to pierce Christ's side at the crucifixion. The dice is what they rolled for Christ's clothes when he died. Sin, salvation, and I stand on one side of the divide, like us all. But all the hope in the world is wrapped up in one line: "I've seen love conquer the great divide." Amen! Now where's that train? Where's that flame? -Pie | |

| I don't know about the religious stuff, I think it's most likely just used for metaphorical reasons. This song is amazing. Personally, I think it's about the main character (the person the words would be coming from) having 'slept around' quite a bit during another relationship, possibly one that didn't mean too much to that person. Then, something came over the person and they realized their error and that they actually did love the person they had the relationship with, and this song would be the apology. Just my $0.02. | |

| It really made me smile when BB King told Bono in the rattle and Hum dvd that he likes the lyrics a lot but that they are rather heavy for such a young person! That part of Rattle and Hum also shows a much more modest and anxious Bono. He obviously looks up to BB King and badly wants him appreciate his work. It shows he needs a lot of confirmation, that makes him look sweet and vulnarable. | |
