| Depeche Mode – Pipeline Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| There is an idea of equality of the people which speaks through the song. It used to be that every man is equal to the nature, but civilisation deformed these norms giving more to some people and less to the others. That is why we can see multimillionaires who can afford to have anything and on the other hand people who doesn’t have access to any basic goods such as a water. Moreover, the world is going to the situations where the rich people earns money through exploitation of the goods which could help the people who really needs it. The author noticed that the critical moment for the world has come and we have to lead the world to the balance which is presented symbolically as the pipeline – we can take away from the greedy and give to the people who really needs it. It’s not easy, it’s rather impossible and could take more than someone’s life. | |

Very interesting is reversed second part of the song. It's a story about a bird told by Martin: The big bird is pecking The little bird is pecking as well The big bird has got more worms than the little bird So the little bird doesn’t like this He’s after the worms that are really owned by the big bird He flies over to the big birds worms Oh and what joy it was when he got those worms And he flew away He flew onto the top of the mountain The big bird was too fat He couldn't fly |

| Just because we can't be sure what the lyrics are about doesn't mean it's empty :P It is difficult to say what Martin had in mind but for me it's a song about a man trying to achieve something in life but he can't so he tries to overcome it in a different ways. | |
