Insight Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Anderson Council 

Cover art for Insight lyrics by Depeche Mode

you could also make a case that Martin wrote this song with Dave in mind: "this is a strange flight i'm taking" could be a reference to dave's past troubles and "this is the first chance, to put things right" is dave getting back on track

definitely one of the defining tracks on Ultra

My Interpretation

I totally agree with your interpretation. "The fire still burns," means they still want to live and still have the desire to create.
