Depeche Mode – But Not Tonight Lyrics 12 years ago
I can't believe no one gets this one. It's a break up song.

He's obviously upset about a losing a long term relationship (haven't felt so alive in years). But he's also happy to be out out of it (haven't felt so alive in years).

Re-read the lyrics with this in mind and it will all click.

It's an amazing song.
