This song is about disappointment that it didn't go the way he desired. This song is the root of suffering, where everything was desired and none of it realized, amounting to optimal disappointment.
General CommentFrom a philosophical standpoint, if Buddha was onto anything when he said desire is the root of suffering, this whole song is, in my flawed perspective. They'll be all driving all over you ruthlessly to pursue thier greedy evil goals, in case you accidently get in their way.
Therefore, if you are a nice person, coutries like the US, UK and the like should probably be avoided because they can easily kill you, if they simply don't like you, and no one will help. The self-driving car that has a capacity to drive backwards can symbolize a high technological progress of coutries like the UK, and refers to the idea that immigrants from poor countries are "backwards", and local population has a lot of power over their lives by keeping their hands tied up. It's very easy for an alien to become a target for local and other immigrant haters, who constantly want them out of their country. The lines "Something wrong with me, inherently, The wrong mix in the wrong genes".also refers to the fact that some immigrants from poor countries are given a really hard time in more technologically developed countries, and made feel as if everything about them is wrong only because it's different, and they can't measure up to the standards. The line "I was born with the wrong ascendancy" refers to the English belief in the dominance and supremacy of their race, therefore, the guy in the video is wearing a mask of a typical white Englishman's face, implying that this person's true face is representative of an immigrant from a more "inferior" nation that the English normally cannot tolerate. General CommentThis song could also be about a person, who was committed a race-based crime against. On the wrong day of the wrong week (wrong) I was in the wrong place at the wrong time (wrong)įor the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme (too long) That led to the wrong tendencies (too long) With the wrong tune played 'til it sounded right, yeah With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook I was on the wrong page of the wrong book The wrong questions with the wrong replies I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means There's something wrong with me chemically I used the wrong method with the wrong technique It scared the shit out of me.I was in the wrong place at the wrong time “When I died, there was only darkness,” he told The Guardian in 2007. “In the two minutes my heart stopped, this humungous voice inside of me went: 'This is wrong.' Like I don't get to choose when this is over. The singer has been candid about his death ever since. "I think they understand that we're not physically as able as perhaps before to tour at this time.” Gahan felt he was still too fragile in his sobriety, and the temptations of the road would be too much.ĭepeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher told MTV at the time that the Songs of Faith and Devotion Tour “nearly destroyed the band.” “I think the fans know what we've been through," he said. Although the remaining members got it together to record Ultra, they didn’t tour in support of the album. Depeche Mode found themselves in need of a break, but they were also uncertain about their future when Alan Wilder, who played synths in the band, decided to leave. Gahan's bandmate Martin Gore told the Chicago Tribune that the near-death incident led to “a couple of points where it seemed very improbable that we would carry on.”īoth Gore and Gahan had submerged themselves into worlds of excess following the band's 1994 tour supporting Songs of Faith and Devotion. I was kind of a goner.” That blackness may have impacted Depeche Mode’s next album, 1997’s Ultra. “What I really felt was this overwhelming feeling of whatever it was I was doing to myself was clearly wrong,” Gahan told Rolling Stone about the experience in 2005. His momentary death came less than a year after a suicide attempt. Following his overdose, Gahan was arrested, incarcerated and forced into a court-mandated diversion program that included a year of required counseling as well as mandatory drug tests. He's been sober ever since. “I went out and shot a speedball one time.
“I was clean for a few weeks when I came back from New York, where I was working with the band,” Gahan told the Los Angeles Times. Afterward, a friend informed him that he had to be revived three times.
