Depeche Mode - I Am You Lyrics






You have bound my heart with subtle chains
So much pleasure that it feels like pain
So entwined now that we can't shake free
I am you and you are me

No escaping from the mess we're in
So much pleasure that it must be sin
I must live with this reality
I am yours eternally

There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no alternative
No, no, no

Dark obsession in the name of love
This addiction that we're both part of
Leads us deeper into mystery
Keeps us craving endlessly

Strange compulsions that I can't control
Pure possession of my heart and soul
I must live with this reality

I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me

There's no turning back
We're in this trap
No denying the facts
No, no, no
No excuses to give
I'm the one you're with
We've no alternative
No, no, no

Depeche Mode I Am You Comments
  1. S.... F....

    My youngest son listens to Depeche Mode because he listened to it all while growing up, I love it!

  2. D.... M....

    Very techny, and also vocally haunting, just like NiN. I feel them Trent Reznor vibes.

  3. K.... M....

    Another masterpiece written by Martin Gore, sung perfectly by Dave Gahan. thanks for this DM also Andy Fletchters contriubtions !

  4. �.... �....

    Депеши вы лучшие.

  5. w.... ....

    Been a fan since 85 and will continue to be so, I’m 46 now and will be a fan even in the afterlife..

  6. B.... K....

    Richard Spencer brought me here

  7. L.... L....

    1:58... à partir de janvier 2005 j'ai enfin pu écouter mes DM dans une bavaroise à 6 cylindres qui abat le 80-120 en 007secondes... 2:08... :°
    Beau cadeau de noël 2004 ! "110904 : "En travaillant dans l'automobile maintenant, tu vas avoir des opportunités !" me lance le cousin Revol... quelques mois plus tard, Michel me dit : "On vient de rentrer une 325tds avec 65000 km !"
    "Vous reprenez des BM chez Citroën maintenant ?" Le gars du CT n'en revenait pas, pas vrai Yves ? LOL

  8. J.... M....

    It sounds like a song of two lovers but it's actually a song of embracing and loving the contradictions, the duality in ourselves... I am you and you are me... just imo

  9. i.... ....

    mark muthafucking bell.

  10. P.... T....

    Que impresionante este tema el efecto del syntesizador sonido que tiene rompe todo!

  11. A.... F....

    This song still blows my mind. Despite the album criticism. Wow.

  12. m.... w....

    This is a good one. 🌹🌹🌹

  13. M.... L....

    Hermosa canción y melodía los quiero DM desde 1994👍⚜️😀😀😀😀

  14. E.... A....

    Channel name checks out

  15. A.... K....

    Easy Tiger then this. Mind blown.

  16. O.... p....

    Une pensée pour cette sacrée Nicole du Gabon...

  17. j.... ....

    Exciter didn´t bring me much excitement. But this song is one of the great tracks from the album (together with Dream On, Comatose and Freelove).

  18. E.... M....

    она исполнялась когда-нибудь живьём? она нереально хороша 💞

  19. F.... ....

    So intoxicating yet so intimate.. like two lovers being wrapped in a blanket of night.

  20. G.... O....

    Great song my favorite

  21. m.... v....

    el mejor disco de DM

  22. a.... P....

    they are not famous as average bullshit, but they do the buisness.I love DM

  23. D.... T....

    Love it 🖤 🎤 🎶

  24. E.... p....

    40 people like reggaeton haha!

  25. M.... D....

    No one can write music like Martin Gore. Always beautiful and haunting. I am you and you are me. I’m the one you’re with. We’ve no alternative.

  26. M.... D....

    ....oh god. Now compare this with Everything counts:-))))))))

  27. M.... B....

    I love this song! Depeche mode is 1 of my favourite bands. These lyrics are so good!

  28. G.... K....

    So much pleasure that it feels like pain

  29. A.... W....

    yes! nice track, thx 😎

    A.... W....

    hello, many thanks for this upload! kind regards from austria 😎

    A.... W....

    have a great evening from the Netherlands!

    A.... W....

    thanks you too, aah nice the netherlands, i love your country! 😎

  30. B.... ....

    Sounds like like NIN the wretched.

    B.... ....

    I think you mean NIN sounds like this..DM's been around a little bit longer, but cool. I love NIN too! ;)

    B.... ....

    they get compared to each other A LOT. you see it more on the comments of NIN vids tho lol

    B.... ....

    I´m a NIN fan and I can say this song is better and sounds nothing like The Wretched, and again I love NIN, but in between the two songs this is a better piece, it´s misterious, romantic, dark, sexual, everything.

  31. S.... J....

    vrlo pametno i usput i zaljubljivo

    S.... J....

    ako može pitanje, što te dovodi na ovu specifičnu pjesmu (po meni SPEKTAKULARNOG) albuma izbačenog na tržište prije više od 16.g.?! (2001.)

    S.... J....

    Isto sto i mene, ljubav prema bendu:)

  33. A.... S....

    Depeche Mode is my favourite band. I love all their studio albums from Speak & Spell to Spirit!

    A.... S....

    Form me DEPECHE MODE are the fantastic Group only ones who touch my heart

    A.... S....

    they are the greatest in the music history , in my opinion , don care what media says
    the kind of music you always go back to , to escape this wonder world we live in
    and i love all their albums as well , like you said : from Speak E Spell to SPIRIT

  34. M.... L....

    Sonic orgasmic, intensity on each verse,

  35. L.... L....

    It's sounds like "Teardrop" (Massive Attack)musically ... for me!

    L.... L....

    They definitely used the same drum pattern + vinyl noise.

    L.... L....

    Portishead and the trip Hop at that time has influenced DM

    L.... L....

    @Andreony sorry, but the process was exactly the opposite : DM has influenced Trip Hop (and Portishead), because DM was there before. But Tri pHop and Portishead are great !

  36. M.... T....

    🐇✌

  37. P.... ....

    poisonous, controlling, intoxicating
    but so sweet

  38. d.... ....

    This is the first song I heard of DM. I was seventh grade pupil and remember how I thought this is the best music ever. I was replaying the cassette so much that the tape almost got broken... It was fourteen years ago, and yet it feels like it was yesterday...

    d.... ....

    I would have to agree; it is the best music ever

    d.... ....

    Story of my life

    d.... ....

    That is so great! Reminds me of how I felt when I first heard "Stripped, back when I was a teenager.

  41. D.... C....

    so sexy

  42. �.... �....

    Ты связала моё сердце тонкими цепями,
    Так много удовольствия, что оно похоже на боль,
    Так обвиты, что не можем шевельнуться...
    Я — это ты, ты — это я

    Невозможно выбраться из путаницы, в которую мы попали,
    Так приятно, что это наверняка грех.
    Я должен жить с этой правдой,
    Я — твой навсегда.

    Нет пути назад,
    Мы — в ловушке,
    Не отрицай этот факт,
    Нет, нет, нет.
    Не нужно извинений,
    Я — единственный.
    У нас нет выбора,
    Нет, нет, нет

    Тёмная одержимость, называемая любовью,
    Это пристрастие, быть частью одного целого
    Затягивает нас в неведомое все больше,
    Бесконечно заставляет нас жаждать.

    Странное влечение, с которым мне не совладать,
    Завладело моим сердцем и душой.
    Я должен жить с этой правдой.

    Я — это ты, ты — это я,
    Я — это ты, ты — это я,
    Я — это ты, ты — это я,
    Я — это ты, ты — это я.

    Нет пути назад,
    Мы — в ловушке,
    Не отрицай этот факт,
    Нет, нет, нет.
    Не нужно извинений,
    Я — единственный.
    У нас нет выбора,
    Нет, нет, нет

  58. R.... C....

    Exciter es una gran produccion. Tu eres yo y yo soy tu. Algo q quizas solo los gemelos pueden entender.

  59. L.... ....

    just adore this song..obsessional..

  60. l.... ....

    Owen! fancy seeing you here! :D

  61. M.... ....

    Why are you talking about Justin? Get out.

  62. D.... D....

    Too.My mother taught me to listen to when I was 14 she's a fan in communist Czechoslovakia from their early years. I thank her.

    FOREVER.

  63. R.... 7....

    Besides,LEAVE JUSTIN BIEBER ALONE! The kid only has about 7-8 years tops, with surgery left in his career before people figure out he's getting old. Let the boy look pretty.

  64. R.... 7....

    I don't usually comment on youtube things, but I would just to put my two cents in regarding age and music; just scanning through the posts and already I see a variety of ages. Good music is like a beautiful river flowing within all of our souls; regardless of age and its what helps keep good music alive and timeless. Young and old. I think most people tend to forget that. I think its awesome so many people can appreciate the beauty of this song and band.

  65. R.... 7....

    This so is so beautiful and captivating. Hands down my favorite DM song.

  66. M.... ....

    El exciter es su mejor albúm desde el Songs.... terrible canción esta I am you and you are me...

  67. O.... L....

    Totally agreed. I´m now 18 years old and I dont understand, why are young people like me listening to the crap like Justin Bieber and stuff. I´ve been born to the gold age of albums like ULTRA and I´m never going to forget about DM. They´re for me the greatest group ever and they will be till I die.

    O.... L....

    Ondřej Liška I feel exactly the same way! And I've only known Depeche mode for almost a year and a half, my Best friend introduced their music to me and I've become obsessed. I'm 14 and always have to hear people playing really terrible music at school all the time. At one point I was playing music and people got on my nerves saying my music sucked. Me and my friend have to put up with almost everyone we know in the school cause they tease us for listening to Depeche Mode.

    O.... L....

    Wow I'm sorry this is four years old... I feel so stupid now lol

  68. P.... S....

    I'm 49...still listening to these guys since the 80's! I hear ya, Valygrl1

  69. A.... S....

    zadziwiające, móc utożsamiać się z każdym słowem.........DM my Love!!!!!!

  81. W.... C....

    It's pretty stupid to listen to some music that someone reccomends me....It's quite creepy!

  82. E.... T....

    modeflood1
    8 times!! my..you are indeed Lucky.
    i'm still waiting for my 2nd time..LOL

  83. T.... ....

    Depeche Mode is band of the bands. Absolutely amazing songs ever. Love them so much. I grew up with them, they are part of me... the best part of me. :)

  84. V.... A....

    would have been more epic if the seed thing was blooming very slowly

  85. C.... ....

    i am 18 been a fan since i was 14 :) they are my all time favorite band loved some great reward and construction time again also loved songs of faith and devotion and playing the angel :)

  86. C.... W....

    51 years old here...grew up on them :) and they are still my all time favorite group ever!! For Life!!

  87. S.... ....

    I Love this song !

  88. s.... ....

    just the way dave pronounces WIITH
    sweet jesus...

  89. S.... ....

    I agree with the top 4 but ultra deserves to be higher and SOTU Should be lower

  90. L.... ....

    show us em then!!
    thinking of doing the same

  91. M.... ....

    (continued) Needless to say I eagerly await their album in April. They'll be reunited with innovative mixer/producer Mark Ellis, AKA Flood. His production contributions from 1989 to 1993 were immeasurable.

  92. M.... ....

    Best DM albums by rank: 1. Black Celebration 2. Violator 3. Music for the Masses 4. Songs of Faith & Devotion 5. Sounds of the Universe 6. Some Great Reward 7. Construction Time Again 8. Ultra 9. Exciter 10. A Broken Frame 11. Playing the Angel 12. Speak & Spell

    As is often the case, you cannot really appreciate this band until you see them perform in person. I'm lucky...I've seen DM live eight times. Incidentally, I have two of their logos (from 1987 and 2009) tattooed on me.

  93. M.... ....

    i'm italian sorry ahah

  94. K.... J....

    Oh shit , was that an ironic comment? I mean referring to all those dumb thumb-up getters who type easy comments using the song titles? I'm sorry,I'm so thick.

  95. K.... J....

    So if DM makes a song called "I see a house", and there are 2 dislikes on Youtube, your comment will be...?

    " 2 persons don't...... you know where I'm going
