Depeche Mode - New Life Lyrics






I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transitions to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me

Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere

I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

  5. j.... ....

    this is proper synth pop , love it

  6. L.... B....

  49. a.... d....

    wowwww vince!!!!!!i want to know you here in palermo.......

  50. a.... d....

    vince il mio mito l'uomo che ha inventato i depeche mode

  51. S.... d....

    Ah, the 1980's when men proved their masculinity by wearing eye-makeup... shake it!!

  52. a.... d....

    wow vince

  53. t.... �....

    My dad plays this all the time. It used to annoy the hell out of me and my mum, but I’m a fan of it now so, thanks, dad?

  54. N.... C....

    Nicolas ❤️

  55. R.... T....

    bsically every comment is how upbeat and cheesy this song and depeche is...well not really the lyrics are pretty dark here, also on photographic

  56. J.... C....

    Im here due the soundtrack of Black Mirror but in the choices that i made not appear me this song :(

  57. I.... F....

    Still a fresh tune.

  58. A.... S....

    The Mode forever

  59. V.... ....

    What's this, Kajagoogoo?

  60. K.... T....

    All Vince + upstairs MASTERPIECES

  61. M.... M....

    _"What's this kajagoogoo?
    _"You wish.."

  62. M.... �....

    Is anyone here because of colin in bandersnatch (no? Just me? Love early depeche anyways though :) )

    M.... �....

    Julieta Fierro Lanouguère yes i found it clever that they used this album specifically. Depeche uses a lot of songs about control on here in general. They definitely thought it out

    M.... �....

    Milo !!! They should have used “get the balance right”, it has the creepiest and most orwellian lyrics I’ve ever read, fits perfectly with bandersnatch theme

    M.... �....

    #transition to another place so the time will pass mo

    M.... �....

    been here before but twas nice to hear it in there :D

    M.... �....

    80s kid here. We used to just get stoned and listen to DM—. The band of a stoned elextronina generation no doubt CEOS of household companies now

  63. E.... M....

    GENIO VINCE CLARKE

  64. w.... 3....

    wish they had played this on 101 instead of 'I just cant get enough'

  65. J.... e....

    I cant help loving this song, recorded at blackwing studios southwark, now derelict an old church building!

  66. J.... H....
