Depeche Mode - Walking In My Shoes Lyrics






I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

    This song is a reminder of our shortcomings and how each and everyone of us stumble from time to time. I usually fall flat on my face then get right back up. Great inspiring song, a cult classic of the nineties. I was at first critical of the band butched up, but this album is an original! I Attended the 1998 Tampa show and have collectors photos of it.

    Sofad est le meilleur album de dépêche mode le plus noir aussi crée à une époque où David basculait dans la drogue et la boisson aide en cela par sa compagne de l époque . Il faillit tout perdre y compris la vie mais il survécu pour ressortir plus fort et le groupe avec .

    The best song against prejudice ever!

  45. E.... K....

    If you're saying DM shouldn't be in the RRHOF because they're "not rock,"

    If all other logical arguments fail (chart success, influence on dozens of modern artists, pioneers of the synth/electronic era, etc), this album was alternative rock so...shut it and let's get them in

  46. R.... C....

    best video ever

    This is when he went from a Tween Synth Pop star to heroin user. his heart attack saved his life.

  58. g.... _....

    DM songs has no time that's the reason why their musical pieces never be out fashion. I've listened DM since 1989 and still feel the vibes. It´s not only the music, also the artistic representation and symbolic graphic hidden in their pieces. Dec 2019 and counting...

    Shitty ass song

    WALKING IN MY SHOES (Depeche Mode) I would tell you about the things they put me through
    The pain I've been subjected to
    But the Lord himself would blush

    Forbidden fruits for me to eat
    But I think your pulse would start to rush

    Now I'm not looking for absolution
    Forgiveness for the things I do
    But before you come to any conclusions
    Try walking in my shoes
    Try walking in my shoes

    You'll stumble in my footsteps
    Keep the same appointments I kept
    If you try walking in my shoes
    If you try walking in my shoes

    I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
    Peace of mind after what I've been through

    God is Perfect without faults and sins and He judges all mens. This is the truth.

  63. M.... N....

    Im old enough to have caught the mode in 82. Back tracked the albums which they had out. Anything after that i listened to. Everything Counts caught my ear and the Second which made me listen to them. Im more of a funkster and Get The Balance right and those beats was the second i listened that made me like them more. Now dont get upset. But that sound they had and what alan did in the mixing,editing and adding stage they Have missed. Not the same to me even though i have gone to see them. If you listen to how enjoy the silence was made and he helped convince martin to change what he had you'd understand his oat of that group. TO me Martin is the Melody Maker but alan helped alot in the extra sounds beats which made depeche so different........

    Does anyone know anything about the bird headed folk in the video and the album art? I read up some mixed stories about the source material, but I'm more interested in the visual details. Let me explain...

    D.... 4....

    So when I was a wee lad , I'd rummage through my dad's old collection of CDs and cassettes. Among them was the the very album of DM that featured this song, and it freaked me out for a long time. So fast forward about 15ish years, I'm laying in bed and I suddenly think "hey, why dont I learn literally everything there is to know about that one picture?" So here I am. I'm mostly interested in the psychological effect of that image (I'm something of a horror illustrator, so I'd like to drum up some inspiration from this). Something about the lighting, the shapes and proportions really throws off one's sense of security, y'know? Anyway, any information would be appreciated.

    D.... 4....

    Plague Masks worn during the Black Death in the Middle Ages. They were filled with herbs in an attempt to protect the wearer from bad air, which was thought to cause beubonic plague.

    D.... 4....

    @merkury06 thanks for the response. Another question. Seeing as the masks depicted in the album art and mv don't appear to be historically accurate, could we chalk it up to creative liberties taken? Or could there be more influencing the artistic design? The album cover in particular strikes me more as tribal headwear more than plague doctors and such. Again, taking creative liberty into consideration.
