The story behind the song

This song's lyrics were written by Bono as a response to the idea that a person's religion and income could be determined by the street they lived on, especially in Belfast. The music features a repeating guitar arpeggio with a delay effect that acts as a hook, appearing in both the introduction and the end. At its heart, the song grapples with themes of identity and the desire to transcend societal divisions.

[Verse 1]

I want to run

I want to hide

I want to tear down the walls

That hold me inside

I want to reach out

And touch the flame

Where the streets have no name

I, I, I, I want to feel

sunlight on my face

I see the dust cloud disappear

without a trace

I want to take shelter

from the poison rain

Where the streets have no name, oh ah

[Chorus]

Where the streets have no name

We’re still building

G G

Then burning down love, burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you...

It’s all I can do

[Verse 2]

The city’s a flood

And our love turns to rust

We’re beaten and blown by the wind

Trampled in dust

I’ll show you a place

High on a desert plain

Where the streets have no name, oh ah

[Chorus]

Where the streets have no name

We’re still building

G G

Then burning down love, burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you...

It’s all I can do

Our love turns to rust

G G

We’re beaten and blown by the wind, blown by the wind

D D

Oh, and I see love, see our love turn to rust

G G

Ah, we’re beaten and blown by the wind, blown by the wind

Oh, when I go there

I go there with you...

It’s all I can do
