In an interview, Dave Gahan described it as a song about his constant internal battle with himself: "I have evrything I need, so why don't I see that, or appreciate what's good in my life, and in fact, do my best to destroy it ? I naturally gravitate towards looking for the negative in something, even when it's good, - that could be my lovely wife or my lovely children. And I do gravitate towards things that aren't good for me - not necessarily drugs or alcohol, just the idea of having something good, then tearing it appart and being left with a piece of shit, almost like I want to push it away because I feel I don't deserve it."
A wonderful song which I like a lot.
