Sea Of Sin Lyrics
I'm swimming in
And I'm taking a dive
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter
Know where you've been
But I don't care
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper
As we sink deeper and deeper
Know where you've been
'Cause I've been there
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize
My second skin
My home from home
When I'm in doubt
My hands reach out
And I'm never alone
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better
Know where you've been
And I'm prepared
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
Yes I'm aware
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
'Cause I've been there
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
And I don't care
Sea of sin
Know where you've been
And I don't care
I think its about seeking escape from some kind of void in life in sin (sex/drugs/whatever). One of the best DM songs ever.
Know where you've been And I don't care Sea of sin Know where you've been And I don't care
This song is about acceptance, love and forgiveness to me He's aware of all that has gone down, and does not care.. It's a beautiful song to me
hm reminds me of Reptile... sounds like he's sleeping with a cheap whore...
haha, love the above comment about cheap whore. does sound like that "Know where you've been, And I dont care". better watch out Dave for those blisters on your balls
i dont think its about forgiveness, its about sex.. im pretty sure its the 1 thing all humans can agree on, sex is good. in our lowest times (cheap), i think the wetter/better lyric is self-explanatory.
I see the Sea of Sin as all the fans willing to jump into bed with them. They leave home and there's always fans out there ready to jump in the sack.
to moobyjoe, Dave didn't write the song. And they probably all use condoms anyway. That's a low blow.
Kaicille Eris is right it does sound alot like Reptile
Agree with the other people, sounds pretty much like Reptile; he's sleeping with a whore to calm the tension in his mind.
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?
Well, I've been a bit reluctant to accept this song's fair sexuality as "it gets better and better as it gets wetter and wetter" sounds too much...hum... You know :) So to say about "you look cheeper...as we go deeper" Looks like Dave's really reaches out to a girl who likes spending time with men. Reminiscent of "The happiest girl" for its context
