Sounds Of The Universe

Depeche Mode Sounds Of The Universe Lyrics
1.In Chains

The way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has left me burning
I know you know what you're doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be
In chains

The way you move
Is meant to haunt me
The way you move
To tempt and taunt me
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should've been warned
I know I walk every midnight to dawn
In Chains

In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains

You've got me dying for you
Its you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to

The way you move
Is mesmerizing
The way you move
Is hypnotizing
I know I crumble when you are around
Start to mumble a bit of a false sound
Stagger, stumble, shackled and bound
In chains

In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains

You've got me dying for you
Its you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to

I'm in chains

In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains


2.Hole To Feed

We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me

Your name was the one that was always chosen
Your words and your kindness have set me free
Shame has a hold that has kept us frozen
You opened my eyes to a world that I could believe

And words can leave you broken inside
You'll have to decide
I'm hanging on to my pride

We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me
When you get what you need
There's no way of knowing
What you'll have is another hole to feed

The games that we're playing, they've left us hoping
The gift that we have, the life that we breathe
This world can leave you broken inside
With nowhere to hide
I'm hanging on to my pride

We are here
We've been chosen
We've been blessed with a place
We need to find and then open

We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me
When you get what you need
There's no way of knowing
What you'll have is another hole to feed


3.Wrong

Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

Wrong

There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
With the wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes
The wrong questions with the wrong replies

Wrong

Wrong

I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook
Made the wrong move, every wrong night
With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yeah

Wrong

Wrong

Too long (Wrong)
Too long (Wrong)
Too long (Wrong)
Too long (Wrong)
Too long
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong


4.Fragile Tension

There's a fragile tension,
That's keeping us going

It may not last forever,
But oh well it's blowing

There's something magical in the air

Something so tragic we had to care

There's a strange obsession,
That's drawing us nearer

We don't understand it
It never gets clearer

There's something mystical in our dreams

So simplistic it kicks and screams

All we will seem to reek on the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down

There's a dizzying feeling,
That's keeping us flying

Some glittering gauntlet
Without even trying

There's something radical in our hands

Nothing logical to our plans


5.Little Soul

My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

I'm channeling the universe
It's focusing itself inside of me
A singularity

My little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain and joy they bring

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

I'm channeling the universe
It's focusing itself inside of me
A singularity

Your little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty inside me

My little soul
Will leave a footprint


6.In Sympathy

They're always falling over you
Why don't they call a truce
Whatever they are trying to do
It's of little use

They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though they speak with eloquence
There is little truth

You're bright
You're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise
You're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy

I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
Their tedious obscenities
Your patience never ends

And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
Followed by a sad parade
You're on your own once more

You're bright
You're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise
You're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy

You're bright
You're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise
You're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy


7.Peace

Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning out my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget

Just look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the frequency at which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world

Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I'm leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it cost
There is a radar in my heart
I should've trusted from the start

Just look at me
I'm a living act of holiness
Giving all the positivity that I possess
I'm going to light up the world

Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's an inevitability


8.Come Back

Come back come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently

I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a lil company
A lil kindness to go a long way

Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear

Come back come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently

I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a lil company
A lil kindness to go a long way

Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear

Come back come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
Come back come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently

Come back come back to me
Come back come back to me


9.Spacewalker


10.Perfect

On another world
By another star
At another place and time
In another state of consciousness
In another state of mind

Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
The jury reached a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case

In a parallel universe
That's happening right now
Things between us must be worse
But it's hard to see just how

And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned, and disgraced

I didn't shoot
I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me
I'm just a plain and simple singer
I heard the sound
I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down

In another lonely universe
We're laying side by side
And no one's hurt
And no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide

And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights


11.Miles Away(The Truth Is)

It's one of those conversations
We've, we've had them before
The ones that leave you empty
And wanting for more

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

Excuse me for my hesitation
I've met you before
Your face seems so familiar
And longing for more

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive

Life, it has its limitations
We all have our needs
Love would be the only answer
It lies underneath

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away...


12.Jezebel

They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
you're going straight to hell
For wanted acts of sin - they say,
and that I'll have to pay
But I need you just this way

They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You're morally unwell
They say you never care for me
But what the fail to see
is that your games are the key

Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea
that you don't own someone

They call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes is real
and how you really feel
But they can't see your appeal

Jezebel


13.Corrupt

I could corrupt you
in a heart beat
you think you're so special
think you're so sweet
what are you trying don't even tempt me
soon you'll be crying unwishing you dreamt of be
you'll be calling out my name

when you need someone to blame

i can corrupt you
it would be easy
watching you suffer
god, it would please me

i wanna touch you with my little finger
i know it will crush you my memory would linger
you'd be crying out in pain

begging me to play my games

i can corrupt you
it will be ugly
they could sedate you

but i wanna touch you
with my hands on your hips
it would be too much to
place my lips on your lips
you'll be calling out my name

begging me to play my games
