Lyrics for In Your Room as interpreted by gasmask

In Your Room Lyrics
In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave

In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your favourite slave

I'm hanging on your words
living on your breath
feeling with your skin
Will I always be here

In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave

I'm hanging on your words
living on your breath
feeling with your skin
Will I always be here

It's a cynical song about asking God whether he (Gore) will be 'around' forever. "I'm hanging on your words, living on your breath, feeling with your skin, will I always be here". The last part about skin is the giveaway.

The entire album plays with this God theme. Heck, it's called Songs of Faith & Devotion. Gore has often written in terms of God existing but that God is not necessarily good & benevolent (Blasphemous rumours as an example). In ths song he explores the idea of a cruel God which allows us existence only to take it away. "In your room, where souls disappear, only you exist here". It's all quite obvious. He sees God as creating us to simply play with our souls.

Come on, this is a Depeche Mode song. Therefore, unless there is clear evidence to believe otherwise, it's about getting your end away.

With Depeche Mode the music often tells as much of the story as the lyrics. Here the music starts softly, tentatively and ... celestially. The narrator, completely lost in a heady combination of obsession and lust begs his worldly lover for attention.

Success! The drums kick in, describing a broad, pounding rhythm. The narrator's almost psychotic devotion to his lover reaches a level where nothing exists to him but her. She has such power over him that she can control his movements and his thoughts. She is like a drug and he is completely surrendered to her effect.

His powerless state is a source of intense pleasure to him - as is the lovemaking which is explicitly described by the increasing volume and force of the music. We leave them to it for a minute as the music sighs, wails and pounds away. Eventually the rhythm asserts itself in a new way, and our narrator's thoughts turn to the ultimate release of his pleasure. However, so powerful is his lover in his mind that she could hold him tortured in this near-ecstatic state forever.

She is merciful. After he has been held in this state for a while, the music explodes in a climax unmatched by anything Depeche Mode has produced before or since. No more lyrics are supplied: a long instrumental sees this song through to its conclusion.

When I listen this song I feel in a darkest room. I think "In your room" is a poem about how somebody is suffering for another person "Or will you leave me lying here" "Or leave me lying here" but I donīt understand why the video has another version of this enigmatic and excellent song

This song is not about Dave's heroin addiction.
The lyrics were written by Martin...

I adore this song - both versions! the album version is absolutely amazing; it creates such a powerful atmosphere...while the single version is a more heavier sound.

I think its about a person who lives entirely in his/her head (In your room & Only you exist here), a world where this person is a sort of God, controlling everything.

Though not making use of any explicit material, this song simply has to be one of the sexiest of all times. The way in which he's experiencing this craving, this addiction to whoever is there in his/her room and describing it...well, its pretty damn amazing. He's completely at the mercy of this other person and wonders if he'll "always be here" or is just one of so may others..Actually I can even understand the interpretations above to this song's S&M meaning..the text is full or clues leading to it as well as a possible drug interpretation to which I'm also keeping an open mind about. One way or the other's a fair interpretation in its on right I guess and such subtlety and ambiguous leads indeed make this song a masterpiece. Love it.

To Martin Gore love, desire and religion are just three different incarnations of one underlying human need, a craving to overcome the profound loneliness of every human being.

In this way many of his songs can be interpreted on different layers: love, sex, religion - anything that makes you feel being part of something.

But consequently Martin goes one step further into total surrender and oblivious self-abandonment. It's the ultimate state of peace of mind that corresponds with the deathwish that's resonates in many of his songs.

In Your Room perfectly fits into this principal theme, but does so in the most sensual way of all Mode songs.

BTW: The live version on the SOFAD live album is the only good reason to buy this one at all. Listening to it at 3 o'clock in the morning gives me shivers down my spine and makes my skin crawl.

It doesn't matter what the song means! It's ANTHEMIC, the way it builds to up to the 3rd verse is genius. Who would have thought that after the "poppy electro" beginnings and losing Vince Clark that The Mode would still be here and still be as prolific? Dave has the best voice in music bar none.
LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM.

I don't know where people are getting drugs out of this song. I see it as flat out BDSM. Looks like the torture session was done by candlelight with some sensory deprivation added in. Looks like he was well trained to know that his skin did not belong to him, it belonged to the mistress. His breathing and body didn't belong to him, but belonged to the mistress. And he must have been tied down for a pretty long time.

Well I really don't think this song is about sitting in your girlfriend's or b's room at all..Personally for me this song is about addiction, to be reliant on something or smb. Like someone mentioned it could be bout Martin's drinking problems or Dave's heroin..Or it could be dependence on a person. I like the line 'In your Room" I think it's so metaphorical and all song is so.

'In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here'

This verse I think shows how dark place person is in and how he can't do anything about leting it go cause he is dependent. I don't know if anyone noticed but Dave's voice changes while singing this verse it's more aggressive and music too.
I like how this song starts very quite and slow and then goes into fast and aggressive one.
Love this song:)

This song becomes a million times eerier when I relate it to Elisabeth Fritzl and her horrible experience.

You guys are right this song is about master and servant.

He is a slave to Christ, slave in a good way, that word is so misconstrued. This song is from the album Songs of Faith and Devotion, it is clear to me that he is talking about how God is always there how he is always watching and how Martin is talking about how he lives through Christ because he was forgiven.

Christ = Our Master

And if you chose to accept him you are his servant.

I pray that all of you one day find the love and forgiveness which is Christ, because the opposite only leads to a Lake of Fire.

Plus, the music itself is insanely sexy (the album version...the single version was awesome too though). Just listen to it. It starts off very quietly, then builds and builds up to this grand, nearly chaotic finish...like a climax. The song is really quite orgasmic, lol.

Wow, this song is breathtaking. The lyrics are so sexy, and Dave's vocals are amazing. To me, its about putting yourself totally in someone's hands. He's leaving everything up to her. He'll do whatever she wants. He's that taken with her, that in love with her.

Really, really heavily laced with the BDSM theme, which makes it even sexier.

hey shut up about the "boring electronic music"....maybe exciter was not their best, but PTA is certainly a kickass album. charlie better hurry up with some new Recoil material.

as for the song....for some reason, I prefer the single version over the album. it's really amazing live as well!

SOFAD is by far the best album they've ever released. In your room - the lyrics are simply great. "I need you so much, will this relationship between us last forever?" -great!!!!
