In my head....

Before I went to sleep yesterday, I decided to put on some Depeche Mode ("Singles Collection (86-98)" to be more precise).
The first track from the first cd was "Stripped" ....

Now... I had already tormented my system with some new songs that were of a similar nature (but probably a lot worse, heh), so when I heard the intro come on... I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, hehe.
But as I lay there, listening to it, I noticed a pattern of sorts. It's always been there, but yesterday it stood out so much more.

So I figured I'd write that down today, since I can't recall anything else that I wanted to talk about *lol*
If Depeche Mode isn't your thing, then I suggest leaving now. Because I really don't have much else to put up here :p

And I'm mostly referring to how the music and Dave Gahan's voice is changing throughout the song, rather than the lyrics. So unless you've heard it (or want to hear it *hint*), I guess you won't get the full "impact". Heh.



Stripped - Depeche Mode

Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass
Come take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

[It starts off being alluring, tempting, teasing.]
[But then the chorus kicks in, hehehe]

Let me see you
stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
stripped down to the bone

[Off comes the innocent and playful tone, igniting the burning need.]

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Chorus

[It keeps that little edge that came in, but goes back to a slightly deceptive and sweet assurance, only to return to the chorus a few moments later.]

Let me hear you make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

[Now it's built up to a demanding plea. It's all over you. Relentlessly craving.]

Let me see you
stripped down to the bone
( Let me hear you speaking
just for me )

Let me see you
stripped down to the bone
( Let me hear you crying
just for me )

[It becomes this haunting, starved desire – begging desperately to be affirmed and reciprocated.]

It sort of builds up continuously – until around 3:20, when it comes off of that intoxicating stimuli of emotions/feeling. Backing down slowly, satisfied with releasing some of the pressure ... awaiting your reply/reaction...



Other than that, I'm devoting most of today taking care of myself. Spa-day *lol*

Take Care Everyone !
Be good
~_^
