Depeche Mode - Damaged People Lyrics






We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of

When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense
I'm dying

We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying

  23. K.... J....

    These couple of years, this is my favorite song. Of all. I do not and can not understand the mathematics of how Martin, Dave, Alan and Andrew attract and react. I do not try. But in the midst, these things are getting created. For some reaseon, they are a part of me. Thank you.

  24. I.... R....

    Dedicated  to all the "Circles" created on G+...

  25. M.... ....

    il fascino dei Depeche Mode

  26. D.... ....

    This song reaches but a handful of people in the world, But for us. it reaches into our chest and squeezes our heart from the depths of our souls.

    D.... ....

    agree with you.. there´s a sense of ... "basics " here... the relation with the world ... and the relation with that human being...

    D.... ....

    Oh shut up!!

  27. c.... c....

    Martin!!!!  We love you! 

  28. L.... D....

    God what an awesome song, secretive to a large chunk of the world's music listeners.... and even to Depeche Mode listeners. Like a hidden gem you can only find when you dig real deep into the void of DM tunes.

  29. C.... ....

    Subtleties we are not aware of...

  30. A.... B....

    Ah, midlife crisis... ;_; I've always admired Martin's clarity of thought,his ability to point out universal truths. Absolutely beautiful! <3 "When you're in my arms the world makes sense..."

  31. Q.... Q....

    damn right

  32. H.... G....

    I lose control listening to the voice of Mart <3 I love this song *____*
    DEPECHE YOU ARE MY LIFE!

  33. b.... ....

    Even still, there is a special quality lended to art that is true to its creator's feelings and inner state. Clearly, something happened in Martin's life to cause the brutal outcry of despair and heartbreak that is this album to come into being. How could you expect him to fight that? It's times like those when you channel your sadness INTO YOUR MUSIC, and create something real, beautifully crafted and natural. Seriously, go whine somewhere else this album is a goddamn masterpiece.

    b.... ....

    That's what I've been always thinking about. What happened in his life that he writes such "depressive" melodies and his lyrics...oh gosh...they are like confessions of a beautiful broken soul (he was broken from the start ;) ). Well we all know at that time it was divorce that gave him inspiration to write such music, but not only this album sounds...melancholic (sorry, 'coz Mart doesn't like this word). Something must have happened in his life, probably in his teenage years, that influenced the philosophy of his song's writing. He's ethereal , he doesn't belong on our planet. How much he suffers for the music he's giving us. I think I wouldn't survive my teenage years without his music. I'm so thankful to him (he's fuckable too btw. XD )

    b.... ....

    brain-tree EXACTLY

  34. b.... ....

    So why buy an album and proceed to criticize it expressly for its tone, when it disclaims itself on the back of the thing? Depeche Mode has been dabbling in darkness ever since Black Celebration anyways, so I really don't know what to think about all this. Although, who am I kidding, it's not like you kids actually BUY cd's anymore anyways.

  35. n.... t....

    Cuando siento el calor de su misma alma olvido que tengo frío y gritando Cuando sus labios tocan el mío y pierdo el control olvido que soy ....... viejo y que muere aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  36. D.... N....

    When you're in my arms
    The world makes sense
    There is no pretense

  37. M.... A....

    Great Song by Great Band!!! Thanks the uploader!

  38. R.... ....

    This songs makes me think of being over 80 years of age in a very diseased body and finally getting my first kiss of my lifetime and finally being cured of my lifelong sadness and loneliness. I get that feeling as if I could live another 100 years.

  39. M.... A....

    this is one of my favourites. it is so beautiful

  40. R.... ....

    Great song, can't stop listening to and exciting with it

  41. N.... k....

    wow owesome cool best thing i ewer heard !!!
    (yea,...maybe that i am narco ,...fucking shit of song )

  42. T.... J....

    Great, but they are already a bit lost in this very dark sound.The next album should be more dinamic and happier,I hope,it won't be dissappointing.

  43. J.... A....

    AWESOME LYRICS!!!

  44. M.... ....

    my thoughts exactly

    sadly their new album is produced by the same guy which produced "Playing the angel"...

  45. J.... F....

    good song

  46. M.... O....

    This was better than I thought, actually.
    Now I'm curious about Playing The Angel, maybe I'll buy it someday. ^^

  47. d.... ....

    Playing the Angel!!!

  48. K.... M....

    amazing, how martin always again, again and over again finds the words for feelings that we all have sometimes during life. and even more respect, that he sings / let them sing via Dave out to the world...

  49. J.... D....

    great song, a bit darker than their usual stuff

  50. T.... J....

    This new Depeche Mode sound is a little strange for me,i can't me identify with this.
    It is OK and good,but I feel something is missing,especially in the orchestration,Exiter and the other albums were maybe better in this aspect.I'm not disappointed,but I hope the forthcoming album will be better.

  51. F.... P....

    oh my god. cry cry cry it's true-all the things which is in the song...reminds me when i was standing in their concert and i started to cry and said: Love depeche mode (L)you are the best!!

  52. i.... ....

    martin gore is the writter and save-the-back-guy and dave is the frontman and the singer :)

  53. b.... ....

    wow, ditto

  54. G.... ....

    When I feel the warmth
    Of your very soul
    I forget I'm cold
    And crying
    When your lips touch mine
    And I lose control
    I forget I'm old
    And dying....... aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  55. d.... ....

    been through the same years ago.
    Pain and suffering...

  56. l.... ....

    I know the feeling, living with it for eight years now...
    sorrow and depeche mode music!
    Melancolie and memories.

  57. d.... ....

    I love Martin's voice.on my knees...
