| Martin L Gore – Compulsion Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| It seems to me that the author of the song is concerned about the question, whether a person inherently is free or there is something that drives him. The author has doubts, he feels as if there is some mighty “indefinable nothing” that controls him, pushing him to act according to some unknown plan. And this guess tortures the author (otherwise he wouldn't drink limited edition whisky without diluting it, which the first line of the song seems to hint at). The song’s chorus is positive though, the author has found a way to live and act. There is no plan, he tells himself, just move on, go forward, jazz! Don't think long about the purpose for the first step, you can change your mind at any time | |
