I feel like many people go through this weird type of habit in life. I believe when you have gone through a lot of trauma/hard times then your brain changes and reacts to the trauma and gives you negative habits. Like these lyrics for example:
I walk alone
And you know
I've never felt at home
I'm so hard to please
And I have everything I need
You can have everything and your life can be perfect but since you have had past trauma you constantly seek out a problem or search for something that will cause the "illusion" to disintegrate. Basically you look for flaws and feel a sick feeling of comfort once you discover an issue or if you make one yourself.
One could take away from this song that Dave Gahan has been through a lot, if you have followed Depeche Mode and he is a recovering Heroin addict. This contributes to his unsettling feelings when everything is really just fine in his life.
