Depeche Mode – Stripped Lyrics 7 years ago
To me this song is set in a dystopian future (i can feel it when he talks about Metropolis, let me hear you make decisions without your television etc) where people are stuck in fakeness and appearances, and just really can't breathe. You can expect a love relationship to be very difficult in this environement, so the narrator asks the woman he loves to follow him out of this overwhelming Metropolis, back to the "land" (we can imagine it is somewhere in the country, far away from all the fuss of the city) where they can both breathe and love each other freely.

Metallica – Nothing Else Matters Lyrics 8 years ago
Everyone sees this song as if the narrator was talking to the person they love. What if the narrator is talking to us, the listeners ?

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart


Wherever you are in life, if its in a good place or not, stay close to your heart. Follow your instinct. Never lose yourself.

Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Here, he tells us to always have trust in ourselves no matter what. If you believe in yourself, nothing can bring you down. Therefore, nothing else matters.

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way

When you start believing in yourself you open yourself to the world. It seems you can attain every goal you want to achieve.Life is YOURS and you live it YOUR WAY. Again, no one can tell you what to do or how to live.

All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

The narrators tells you that he truly believes what he says. He doesn't just say it, he means it. Bellieve in him, because he believes in himself. That's an example of how believing in yourself can change the perception people have of you. And nothing else matters.

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new

The narrators wants you to know that he believes in you. That is a very important verse because if no one has ever told you that they have trust in you, that you can do it, he is there to remind you that you have the power in you to live life the way you want it. The trust is in you.
Every day for us something new = Life brings something new every day. It has its ups and downs. It's the same for everyone ! Don't let that bring you down. Life is an adventure.

Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Reference to what it said in the begining, now that you believe in yourself, you have opened up your mind, you have opened yourself to a new vision of life. And nothing else matters.

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

This is a reminder not to listen to what people tell you, what they do, what they think of you. It's your life, live it your way. That's basically the meaning in the whole song.
