Dressed in Black
Eternal Seduction in Black: Depeche Mode's Alluring Melody
Lyrics
She's dressed in black again
Expresses the visual impression of a woman dressed in black.
And I'm falling down again
Describes a sense of falling or being emotionally overwhelmed.
Down to the floor again
Implies a physical or emotional descent, possibly linked to desire.
I'm begging for more again
Conveys a craving for more experiences or interactions.
But, oh, what can you do when she's dressed in black?
Ponders the limitations faced when dealing with someone captivating.
My mind wanders endlessly
Reflects on a wandering mind influenced by the woman in black.
On paths where she's leading me
Describes following paths shaped by the woman's influence.
With games that she likes to play
References engaging in playful and possibly mysterious activities.
And words that she doesn't say
Highlights the unspoken words, creating a sense of mystery.
Not when we're alone and she's dressed in black
Addresses the enigmatic nature of the woman, especially when alone.
As a picture of herself
Describes the woman as a representation of herself.
She's a picture of the world
Portrays the woman as a reflection of the world.
A reflection of you, a reflection of me
Links the woman to a reflection of the observer and others.
And it's all there to see if you only give in to the fire within
Suggests that her essence is apparent if one succumbs to inner desires.
(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
Reiterates the captivating image of the woman dressed in black.
(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-Shadows fall onto me
Introduces shadows, adding a layer of mystery and darkness.
As she stands there over me
Places the woman in a dominant or overseeing position.
And waits to encompass me
Indicates anticipation of being enveloped or influenced.
I lay here helplessly
Describes a vulnerable and helpless state.
But, oh, what can you do when she's dressed in black?
Repeats the dilemma of dealing with the woman in black.
(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
Reaffirms the allure and impact of the woman dressed in black.
(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
Continues the repetition, emphasizing the woman's captivating presence.
(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
-(Oh-oh) dressed in black again
