Corrupt Lyrics

Cover art for Corrupt lyrics by Depeche Mode

This is my new favorite Depeche Mode song. It's an interesting relationship dynamic being described. Temptation, desire, wistfulness, pride...a whole lot of emotions rolled up into one really good song.

I agree, on the new album this is the one that has stood out to me.

I also agree on your interpretation, i think perhaps all of these mixed emotions have resulted in an anger and a need to cause harm.. maybe to an unnesessary extent.
