Interesting facts and trivia about Trip Through Your Wires. By Songfacts®.

This song is about a girl who evokes tremendous passion in a guy. The title is a play on "Trip Wire," which is a low-placed wire that often sets off a trap. Bono sings about being caught up in all her "wires."

U2 played this for the first time on a RTE Television show called TV Gaga. Promoted as a "different" U2 sound, they played a raw version with no processing. The producer of the show was a friend of the band.

Bono played the harmonica on this track, an instrument he first started playing when the band was just starting out and attempting to cover the Neil Young song "Heart Of Gold."
