This is my favorite depeche mode song. It's one of the more poetic ones as well. To me the whole song is quite simple. It's about love, how we'll never be able to live up to it's beauty. It's not a religious song necessarily, But I think it implies that love is a god.
"Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices"
What has martyrs and sacrafices?gods. And at one point we are all disciples of love. he talks of 'paying for their vices'. It's a large price we pay for love,even death sometimes. Did anyone else notice he keeps talking about death?
"Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirits shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers"
'Their spirits shall live on in the hearts of all' Romantics!
