Always
Eternal Yearning: Embracing the Light and Fire in Depeche Mode's 'Always'
Lyrics
The well is dry and the spring runs shallow
The well is dry, and there's a lack of resources or inspiration.
The sun is high and the field might sparrow
The sun is shining, but the field (life) feels barren or empty.
My tongue is tied and my body aching
The speaker struggles to express themselves, experiencing physical discomfort.
Now I'm opened wide and afraid of breaking
Feeling vulnerable and exposed, the speaker is afraid of breaking emotionally.
The food is hot and the tables are ready
Despite external readiness, internal anxiety makes the speaker uneasy.
But my stomach's knots make my hands unsteady
The speaker's nervousness interferes with enjoying a meal; hands are unsteady.
So I take to pacing up and down the room
Restless pacing in response to inner turmoil and racing thoughts.
While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed
The heart races, and the mind is consumed by overwhelming thoughts.
I just wanna be part of the light
Desire to be part of positivity or enlightenment represented by "light."
Of the light, of the light, of the light, of the light in your eyes
Repetition emphasizes the speaker's strong yearning to be part of this positivity.
I just wanna be part of the light
-Of the light, of the light, of the light, of the light in your eyes
-The bed is made and the candle's burning
The setting is prepared, but the relationship faces challenges; a candle symbolizes hope.
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
Games are played, time passes, but challenges persist, and the clock keeps turning.
We're out of tricks with the silence cutting
Struggling with communication, represented by silence, and facing emotional wounds.
And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting
Conflict persists, symbolized by daggers sticking, and doors keep closing.
I just wanna be part of the fire
Desire to be part of intensity or passion symbolized by "fire."
Of the fire, of the fire, of the fire, of the fire in your eyes
Repetition emphasizes the strong desire to be part of this passionate connection.
I just wanna be part of the fire
-Of the fire, of the fire, of the fire, of the fire in your eyes
-Always, always, always, always (forever)
Repetition of "Always" suggests an enduring, timeless longing for connection.
Always (forever) always (forever)
-Always (forever) always
