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.
