Ku dhammaystiro weedha soo socota: Dhibaatooyinka siyaasadeed iyo kuwa bulshada ayaa sal u ahaa dhowr waddo. Bono wuxuu qoray heesta "Bullet the Blue Sky" kadib markii uu booqday El Salvador intii lagu jiray
Dagaalkii Sokeeye ee El Salvador iyo markhaati ka noqoshada sida khilaafka u dhexeeya mucaaradka iyo dowladda Maraykanka ee taageersan ay u saameeyeen dadka rayidka ah ee maxalliga ah. Inta lagu guda jiro qeybta la hadlayay ee heesta, wuxuu ka hadlayaa nin leh "waji casaan ah sida ubax on geed qodxan", oo tixraac u ah Reagan. Safarka Bono wuxuu sidoo kale dhiirrigeliyay "Hooyooyinka La La'yahay", ka dib markii uu la kulmay xubno ka tirsan COMADRES - Hooyooyinka La La'yahay - koox haween ah oo carruurtooda la dilay ama "la'aan" intii lagu jiray dagaalka sokeeye ee gacanta dowladda hoose. Shaqo joojintii macdanta ee UK 1984 waxay dhiirrigelisay ereyada "Red Hill Mining Town", oo Bono uu ka qoray aragtida lamaane ay saameysay shaqo joojinta. Sheekada lamaane daroogada ku qabsadey waxay salka ku haysay "Running to Stand Still", oo Bono ku dhigay dhismayaasha guryaha ee Ballymun Flats ee Dublin oo uu ku soo koray. Dhismayaashan waxaa lagu xusay heesta "I see seven towers / But I only see one way out". Heesta "Where the Streets Have No Name", wuxuu u qoray ereyo ka jawaabaya fikradda ah in, magaalada Belfast, diinta qofka iyo dakhligiisa lagu qiyaasi karo wadada uu ku nool yahay. "Exit" wuxuu soo bandhigayaa fikradaha dilaaga maskaxda ka jiran, in kasta oo Clayton uu soo jeediyay in khadka "Wuxuu arkay gacmaha dhisa sidoo kale ay soo rogi karaan" sidoo kale waa jab ku saabsan doorarka khilaafsan ee dowladda Mareykanka ee xiriirka caalamiga ah.
