Archive – Fuck You Lyrics 18 years ago
Well I dont think its self hate, look at the lyric:

"Though we won’t ever meet I remember your name"

That doesnt fit into your logic, I think its about a celebrity possibly George W Bush but you can certainly just fill in the blank on who you want it to be about, i think that was the main point of the song.

Depeche Mode – A Pain That I'm Used To Lyrics 18 years ago
AgentOren had the idea going and i just want to drop my interpretation.

I think its from Gore's perspective. The chorus I think is straight forward. His relationship with his wife was probably tumultuous but I believe it was pain he became comfortable with. The separation drove feelings of hurt to the surface creating a new type of pain that he is not accustomed to.

There are two well written stanzas here that pretty much details what the song is meant to convey. The second stanza describes the hurtful games and actions done on her part and how he is "paying" for them with feelings of hurt. The signs he now only sees leading up to the divorce are now underlined meaning he acknowledges the mistakes finally. All these past games and signs fueled the devils(animosity and hurt during the separation).

The other stanza is my favorite. The hole in the soul comment seems to refer to emptiness his ex wife was experiencing and her need to fill it with someone or something else. The price for that self created paradise is him. She is not consciencly seeing it and will not repent most likely for it. The seeds of doubt and fear mostly were on his part which just drove the separation to some kind of melting point.

The last stanza seems like a closer in which he acknowleges the past deceit or betrayal and he is leaving it to fate not out of sadness but hope for something better whether together or just going back to being civil.

My favorite song by them easily...
