We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of

When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense I'm dying

We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

When I feel the warmth of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying

    Song Meaning:I think the meaning of this song is we are living in a cruel world but when you have someone you love you forget about it all and just be happy.

    General Comment:it's about two people destined to be together..
    it doesn't matter whether they want it or not...
    they are meant to be...

    General Comment:I think it means just what it say, were damaged people just trying to make it through this hard word! If you can find someone to share it with then do so. that is what i got out of it.

    General Comment:I doubt this is anything like what Depeche Mode was trying to convey...but this song really speaks to me about my eating disorder, anorexia.

    The lyrics make me feel like I and my disorder are best friends, unable to leave one another, even though it feels so wrong. I feel safe, secure, with anorexia...forgetting to sense I'm dying, as the song states.

    General Comment:i think of this as being about being in a bit of a twisted friendship/relationship that no one else probably understands, but seems necessary.
