Useless
Bittersweet Realizations: Depeche Mode's Reflection on Life
Lyrics
Well it's about time
Expressing impatience or anticipation for a change.
It's beginning to hurt
Indicating that the situation is becoming painful or difficult.
Time you made up your mind
Encouraging someone to make a decision.
Just what is it all worth?
Questioning the value or significance of the current situation.
All my useless advice
Reflecting on the speaker's ineffective guidance or suggestions.
All my hanging around
Acknowledging a presence in someone's life without meaningful impact.
All your cutting down to size
Noting instances of criticism or belittlement.
All my bringing you down
Recognizing the speaker's role in bringing someone down emotionally.
Watch the clock on the wall
Observing the passage of time through a clock on the wall.
Feel the slowing of time
Sensing a feeling of time slowing down, possibly due to a difficult situation.
Hear a voice in the hall
Hearing an internal or external voice that echoes and persists.
Echoing in my mind
Describing a repetitive thought or sound in the speaker's mind.
All your stupid ideals
Criticizing someone's unrealistic or impractical ideals.
You've got your head in the clouds
Pointing out a lack of grounded perspective, possibly being too idealistic.
You should see how it feels
Suggesting that the person should experience reality and its challenges.
With your feet on the ground
Emphasizing the importance of being practical and down-to-earth.
Here I stand the accused
Positioning the speaker as accused or blamed, possibly in a conflict.
With your fist in my face
Describing a confrontational situation with physical aggression.
Feeling tired and bruised
Expressing fatigue and injury, both physical and emotional.
With the bitterest taste
Referring to a bitter or unpleasant experience, possibly related to conflict.
All my useless advice
Reiterating the speaker's ineffectual advice or guidance.
All my hanging around
Re-emphasizing the lack of impact or meaningful influence in the speaker's presence.
All your cutting down to size
Highlighting continued criticism or belittlement by the speaker.
All my bringing you down
Acknowledging the speaker's role in causing emotional distress.
All your stupid ideals
Repeating criticism of impractical or unrealistic ideals.
You've got your head in the clouds

You should see how it feels
Encouraging the person to experience the challenges of reality.
With your feet on the ground
Stressing the importance of being firmly grounded in reality.
