I'm gonna paraphrase Bono:
He said it was unfair to lump all the negativity in that song and other songs on AB on Edge's divorce but it was a major infulence in the songwriting.
And the guitar riffs Bono has pretty much said was Edge expressing himself. That he was just letting it rip on his life or something. So much so that the strings are heard breaking at the end.

Someone will come along and post the exact quotes along shortly, I'm sure.

Wow.

When you make a guitar string (s) break, there's something going on there for sure.

Thank you.
