Any Second Now (Voices)

I think I'm going out on a limb here, but I think this song is about a fear of intimacy. "She remembered all the shadows and the doubts" ~She's been hurt in a past relationship, perhaps even raped, but that's a BIG assumption...

"Don't you understand This the warning and the message I remember As you touch my hand"

Basically, I see this as a somewhat hopeful ending, because she's gotten past the pain she experienced in the previous relationship; either that or she's at least acknowledged it.

great song ! it touches the soul type lyrics...i like it.

This song is one of DM's most haunting, and that's saying a lot!

The song is very cryptic to me, but the general feeling I get from the song is that it's about that specific moment when one must decide whether to end a relationship or give it another chance.

I hope someone else can chime in here and offer some insight...

To me it's one of DM's most beautiful songs. I think the lyrics above have a slight error, tho... instead of "when the colours move apart" I'd always thought it was "when the covers move apart." The inference is that she's getting out of bed and he's wondering if she would really rather still be there with him.

I love this. You can see where Vince Clark was going with this and what the future held, songwriting wise with Yazoo. AND, you can see that Martin's songwriting and musical influence really is Vince.
