Hello, buddies..
Today's song is Shake the Disease by Depeche Mode!
I love this song. Why is that? 'Cause it so blatently defys the whole macho-tough-guy immage that most bands out there in the 80's tried to put out, through it's lyrics - which clearly conveys thoughts about insecurity.
What can I say? The one by DM that stands as the most meaningful for me. It brought back many pics from the past. Today's stuff seems be far changed, unfourtunatly.
Anyways, Depeche Mode is... phenomenal. What a brilliant first 33 seconds. Gotta love it.
Lyrics:
I'm not going down on my knees
Begging You to adore me
Cant you see it's misery
and torture for me?
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can
I tried as hard I could
To make you see
How important it is for me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me (x4)
Some people have to be
permenantly together
Lovers devoted
to each other forever
Now I got things to do
and i said before
That I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me (x4)
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me.
P.S: This song reminds me so much of you. I love you, there's no doubt of that. But I'm certainly not 'going down on my knees/begging you to adore me' it's truely painful to me (being turned down by you, though I know you have every right to blew me off). But still hope you'll forgive me, 'cause I was 'misunderstood', please 'try as hard as you can/ I tried as hard as I could/To make you see' how important you are to me.
'Here is a plea/From my heart to you/Nobody knows me/As well as you do', I know I'll never love anyone like I love you, and I am really willing to make things up and to change my attitudes towards you and our eventual relationship. Please, 'understand me'.
I know you think that 'some people have to be/permenantly together/lovers devoted to each other forever' and in retrospective, I know that I wasn't fair to you. I neglected you and our relationship, I took you for granted. I'm truely sorry. I'm going nuts, M.
