Depeche Mode - Soothe My Soul

this time, the DM “lyrical I” is very determined and acts!

I’m coming for you
When the sun goes down
I’m coming for you
When there’s no one around

I come to your house
Break down the door
Girl I’m shaking
I need more

There’s only one way to soothe my soul
…

I’m coming for you
I need to feel your skin
I’m coming for you
To stop this crawling

I’m taking my place
By your side
I’m not leaving
Until I’m satisfied

There’s only one way to soothe my soul
…

I’m coming for you
My body’s hungry
I’m coming for you
Like a junkie

I can’t stop
The desire in me
I’m not waiting
Patiently

There’s only one way to soothe my soul
…

and I was thinking and comparing the above with the attitude from the song “It’s no good” (1997)… where the “lyrical I” is determined, but waits for her to come…

when getting old, feels like we don’t have anymore “all the time in the world”

Gonna take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You’ll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide

Don’t say you want me
Don’t say you need me
Don’t say you love me
It’s understood
Don’t say you’re happy
Out there without me
I know you can’t be
‘Cause it’s no good

I’ll be fine
I’ll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realize
Do we have to wait ‘till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can’t turn back the tide

Depeche Mode- Alone (Delta Machine, 2013)

I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest

Through your failings and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain

[…]
I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t play that role
Alone
Now it’s too…
Too late for what should’ve been said
Long ago

Depeche Mode - Should Be Higher (Live On Letterman, March, 11th 2013) (Delta Machine)

when listened to this song (as part of the Letterman show) a few days ago, thought that i really like it… now, after listening for several times the  album… “Should be Higher” is among my favourites… but i love the entire album, DM - never disappointing.

and that “looo-ve” like on a broken note…

again, the lyrics are great

I dream of a day
When I dare to believe
You’re the answer

When the shame
And the guilt are removed
And the truth appears

Of the touch of your hand
I lose who I am
If I want to

I try to resist but
Succumb to the bliss
Of your kiss

You should be higher
I’ll take you higher
Well don’t be afraid
You’ll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want

Depeche Mode - Heaven

very new!

sexy…

Sometimes I slide away
Silently
I slowly lose myself
Over and over
Take comfort in my skin
Endlessly
Surrender to my will
Forever and ever
I dissolve in trust
I will sing with joy
I will end up dust
I’m in HEAVEN…

I stand in golden rays
Radiantly
I burn a fire of love
Over and over
Reflecting endless light
Relentlessly
I have embraced the flame
Forever and ever
I will scream the Word
Jumping to the void
I will guide the world
Up to HEAVEN…

edit: on repeat… ah ah ah, give me the album, give me the concert.

Depeche Mode - Rush (Devotional Tour 1993)

and another ‘to do’/resolution thing for 2013… to see Depeche Mode live, again :) i should pick a city… 

i’m sure i posted this video before… but i just love it.

i so much wish for them to perform “Rush”… but i guess nowadays it would feel differently than in this video…


Gave more for you
Dropped my crutches
And crawled on the floor for you
Went looking behind every door for you
And because of the things
That I saw for you
I spiritually grew

When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
