Depeche Mode – One Caress Lyrics 8 years ago
Hi,
as already mentioned I think this song is about depressions, taking drugs, addiction and thinking about suicide and death.

1. stanza:
resignation, depression (down on my knees) - he wants to ease the pain and find remedy by taking drugs (to bear the pain)

Refrain:

Girl = Drug

Many drugs have female names in the scene:

Cannabis - Mary Jane
Methamphetamine - Tina, Crystal
MDMA - Molly
Salvia - Sally D, Maria Pastora
LSD - Lucy
Cocaine - Snow White
Methcathinone - Cat
Dieacetylemorphine - Heroin (female hero?)
PCP - Angel, Angel Dust
5-MEO-DiPT - Foxy, Foxy Moxy
Oxycontin - Roxy, Roxies
Adderal/Dextroamphetamine - Addy
Atropa Belladonna - Belladonna
Qualudes - Mandy, Mandies
Ketamine - Kitty

every time he takes drugs he feels better (Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed)

2. stanza:
things seem to lose their cruelty and by taking more and different drugs he can make is last (When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look
At what you found old
And in it you'll find something new)

3. stanza
loves his addiction - in his eyes the only way to become " a better man"
considers to overdose (eternal darkness) and die

Love that song
