Depeche Mode – It's No Good Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't consider this song stalkerish at all. In my eyes, the man sees that despite what has happened between them, they are meant to be together. It is evident when he says "it is written in the stars above," almost as if they are astrologically compatible. In some cases some astrological cases, people seem made for each other, so I think that is what the writer means, and when he says "the god's decree" he it supports my theory as if he means is talking about them being meant for each other in a spiritual sense. Perhaps he is delusional? Perhaps not?

When he goes on to say...

"I'll be fine, I'll be waiting patiently, 'till you see the signs, and come running to my open arms"

to me what he is saying is that he is just going to wait until she realizes that they are made for each other, because of how they were with each other as opposed to other people. Then when he says...

"When will you realize? Do we have 'till our worlds collide?"

he goes on to ask the girl, when will you see what I see, and do we have wait until fate brings us back together? Then he when he says...

"Open up your eyes, you can't turn back the tide"

it's like he is saying, you're better off seeing it now, because there is nothing you can do to escape fate.

This song is by far my favorite Depeche Mode song. It is dark, and reminds me of a depressed state of love lost. This song reminds me of a relationship that I had with a girl, in which she didn't want to admit that we were meant to be although I felt we were, and everyone else, even her friends and realatives, saw that we certainly had something rare between us. My references to astrology come from the fact that our signs were extremely compatible, I am an Aquarius 3 and she is a Virgo/Libra Cusp. I was raised in a very Christian home, and never believed in astrology until someone pointed this out in a book to me. I was shocked to see that the book pretty much told the story of our relationship, when it talked about the Aquarius 3 and Virgo/Libra Cusp compatibility. Unfortunatley I never read this until after I decided to end our very close friendship. In the end she got married to someone else less then a year after we were done with each other. The song depresses me because even though it makes me feel better when I think of our relationship that never was as I had hoped it would be, I feel as if I am in some sense not living in reality and being delusional, as the writer of the song may be.

Any response or extra insight would be welcomed.

Here I am! That sounds like an interesting interpretation of that song. And you're right that's how songs should be.
