Very interesting. It's obviously about a pent-up sexual feeling. He/She is waiting for a release - "a reason to scream and shout". The lyrics speak for themselves. However, the third verse confuses me somewhat:
"But wasn't there more than this numb sensation?"
Martin Gore does that a lot; he will write a song that's so easy to understand and then make it a little confusing by adding something at the end, something a bit doubtful or against the grain.
@SteamMachine Sounds like he got his release but it didn't provide the thrill he was hoping for. A lot of Depeche songs are about longing and not being able to get the satisfaction that is desired. Sounds like Martin has something missing in his life that he can't get fulfilled.
