Walking in My Shoes (Depeche Mode cover) Lyrics
I was the Slave of things you put me though
The pain i've been subjected to
The lord himself would blush
The countless feats laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits we're meant to eat
But i feel your pulse start to rush
Now I'm not looking for the absoultion
All forgivness for the things i do
But before we come to any conclusion
Try walking im my shoes
You stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency looked down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But i tell you now my judge and jurrors
Intentions couldn't have been pure
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
A piece of mine after what ive been through
But before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
You stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for the absoultion
All forgivness for the things i do
But before we come to any conclusion
Try walking im my shoes
You stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
The pain i've been subjected to
The lord himself would blush
The countless feats laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits we're meant to eat
But i feel your pulse start to rush
All forgivness for the things i do
But before we come to any conclusion
Try walking im my shoes
Keep the same appointments i've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Decency looked down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But i tell you now my judge and jurrors
Intentions couldn't have been pure
My case is easy to see
A piece of mine after what ive been through
But before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Keep the same appointments i've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
All forgivness for the things i do
But before we come to any conclusion
Try walking im my shoes
Keep the same appointments i've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

I love this song, both this version and the original by Depeche Mode. I think it is about life in general, the trials and tribulations of his life, and/or him telling someone to try living his life and see what it's like. I could be completely off, but that's my take on it.
my cousin (Gahan_Man) loves Depeche Mode. I will admit DM can write some awesome lyrics but when Finger Eleven did it with guitars instead of keyboards it was a billion times better of a song.
