Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
I've heard that it's about Edge's oldest daughter - is this correct? This is my favourite song off of HTDAAB, and i'd just be interested with any background/quote people could give me about it

"you steal right under my door, I kneel, cause I want you some more". Seems a bit strange..... Anyone care to interpret this one?
colinmchapman said:I don't know what that band has said about the song, but it's clearly about Adam/Eve.
I'll give you everything you want/Except the one thing you want - The Apple from the tree of Knowlege
You steal right under my door/And I kneel ‘cos I want you some more/I want the lot of what you got/And I want nothing that you're not
-This is about God's grace after the fall. The stealing from under the door was the taking of the apple. God then kneels down to us becuase he wants us to love him, he wants all of us to love him, but he doesn't expect us to be anything that we are not.
Everywhere you go you shout it/You don't have to be shy about it - another refernce to God's love.
My girlfriend tells me she thinks its just a really powerful love song, but i think there is definately deep theological undertones.

I kneel cause I want you some more - probably Bono wishing she'd keep her personality and character (also, "stay a child in your heart")
Steal right under my door - Bono probably remembering a very young Holly playing in his/Edge's house, "stealing" toys
I want the lot of what you got, and I want nothing that you're not - again, he's referring to staying a child in your heart and staying true to yourself
flaming june said:As youtwohearts already mentioned, I think on 60 minutes a long time ago, there was a section where Bono and the reporter were in Bono's car. An earlier version of that song was playing in the background and Bono said it was about his daughter... All the other possibilities sound plausible too, but I remember that. I have it on tape... somewhere.

It it's about a child, children are small... You have to kneel to get on their level.
