Lyrics for Precious as interpreted by theetum

Precious Lyrics

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your heart for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

and so what..

anyway, this lyric [not a song yet cause I haven't listened ;)] makes me think of some innocent souls out there, that kind of people that shouldn't go through any pain but they do, i mean.. some of us suck enough to deserve what we got but there are truly angels with silver wings that make you say: why them?

but it seems like this one is about a son or daughter though this would be the first time that Martin writes about that subject. anyway, i'd love to see more opinions about Precious.

oh, sorry about my english ;)

nice tune, but no real special highlights in it. just flows along nicely. lyrics are ... a bit cliché depeche mode stuff... i hope the album has some real highlights on it. more than this song. nice but not too remarkable.
well anyway, cant wait for them to go on tour. i already have the tickets :)

Well, I'm sorry to say this if it is not a public knowledge. Martin is/was currently undergoing a divorce and this song is said to be written about his children.

The song is very Depeche-like. Nothing new but hey, it sounds good, anyway. Dave's vocals are amazing.

Great song, even greater lyrics. This song reminds me of the early period of Depeche Mode (probably "See You"), the sound effects are reduced to a minimum. The vocals are very up to date, you can hear the development in Dave's voice (sounds a bit like "Only when I lose myself). The lyrics are really great, yes, it's about Martin's children.
Looking forward to the album...

this is a great song
and the lyrics are on point about the delicate and difficult process of divorce and how the child is caught in the middle

I thought this song was aboud devorice the first time I heard it.

I mean it seems like something my parents would have said something like this when they were going threw the same thing. "have faith in both of us"-- "my god what have _we_ done to you"-- "I wish i could take the pain for you"-- "things get damaged thinks get broken"

I think it's about having a divorce, but not actually divorcing because you don't love the person, but because the person is holding you back from something..

Divorce? This song is about divorce?? You people don't know Nothing about lyrics. This song isn't about divorce, it's about [them] the band itself.

It's failry obvious that this song deals with Martin Gore's recent divorce. It is addressed to his children.

Disregarding the above comment... I believe this song could very well be about the submissive persona in a D/S relationship. I mean I'm not saying that that's what this song means I'm just saying if you listen to it, it could very plausibly mean that.

Wanting to protect your girlfriend :) that's the impression I get, or someone you love... you feel like they don't deserve the pain that life brings :)
