| Depeche Mode – Happiest Girl Lyrics

This song has struck me as being about putting on a facade--the "happy" is so thick that it seems to be entirely fake. Like the other reviewers, I agree that something heinous has happened to this woman, and the protagonist thinks he can see through the mask covering it up, but can't even get close enough to attempt to. |

It's definitely about sex, and perhaps a bit about infidelity itself. "Wrong" sex is a lot hotter than anything prim and proper, and this is a theme throughout Depeche Mode songs. Instead of BDSM, this song is simply about being able to get laid on demand... the skankier the groupie, the better, as it doesn't actually matter. The band knows they are hot commodities and somewhat used themselves; who are they to judge these random skanks? |

This is easily one of my top 5 DM songs. It's silly and embarrassing to admit to this, but I've often felt this way about relationships I've been in. This song verbalizes that feeling very well. It's obviously a bit juvenile compared of their later works, but that doesn't mean it's any less awesome. |

Sensuous, cynical song. Obviously compares the relationship at hand to working at a dead-end job. I always heard the line "experiences leave a lasting impression" as "screaming and tears leave a lasting impression", which might indicate that the ambiguity was intentional. |
