Cover art for The Sweetest Condition lyrics by Depeche Mode

You are so right, Jadore. I can't believe this song has no more comments. This is one of my favourite songs ever. I can listen to it many times and always find it fascinating. For me, this is about a guy who's being "eaten" by the love he feels for a girl who doesn't seem to know. He realizes his condition, but can't do anything to stop it and will eventually lose his mind and become badly obsessed, that's why I think the melody has this kind of dark tone...

I'm not sure that I got an indication if she knows or not of his obsession.

I feel it's 100% about the passion and lust he feels. I would love someone to be lost in the folds of my skirt, and the price he'd pay is the want for more - therefore why his body in heaven and his mind of dirt I would think would be thinking of what else or more he'd like to indulge in.
