Dave subsequently penned a couple of tracks on Depeche Mode's next album, the 2005 effort Playing the Angel. The latter half of 2007 saw the release of his second solo LP, Hourglass, which saw a dirtier, more electronic, groove-orientated sound come through in his solo work. It was decided that he would not tour to promote the album's release, instead concentrating on his day job: the recording of the next Depeche Mode effort, Sounds of the Universe released in April 2009. The album sees more of his songs released under the DM brand, as well as a co-write with main songwriter, Martin L. Gore on the B-side Oh Well.
Endless
Dave Gahan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On this night
Time itself it slips away
Now you are mine
Slowly hours pass
All through the night
Together we can disappear
For a while
I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Now I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Endless
Endless
Now I am still
Endless
Endless
Your body is endless
Watching the hourglass
On that night
We touched the stars
And reached the moon
For a time
I'm lost in a moment with you
It feels right
We're floating above the stars
You and I
I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Now I am still
Forever and ever and ever
Endless
Endless
Now I am still
Endless
Endless
Your body is endless
The lyrics to Dave Gahan's song "Endless" explore the experience of two people being together in a moment that feels timeless and infinite. The imagery of the full moon and the hourglass create a sense of timelessness, as if the moment is paused and the singers are existing outside of time. They are able to disappear from the world for a while, lost in each other's company.
The repetition of the line "Now I am still forever and ever and ever" adds to the sense of timelessness, as if the singers are frozen in this moment together. The use of the word "endless" throughout the song creates a feeling of infinity and endlessness, as if the singers will be able to stay in this moment forever.
Overall, the lyrics to "Endless" capture the feeling of being lost in a moment of love, where time doesn't matter and everything else fades away. It's a powerful depiction of the intense feelings that can come from two people connecting deeply.
Line by Line Meaning
In the cold of the full moon on this night
It's a chilly night under the full moon's light
Time itself it slips away, now you are mine
Time passes quickly as we spend this moment together
Slowly hours pass all through the night
Time is elongated and we enjoy each other's company throughout the night
Together we can disappear for a while
We can forget about the outside world and be fully present in this moment together
Now I am still forever and ever and ever
I want this moment to last forever
Endless, endless, now I am still
This moment is endless and I want to stay in it
Endless, endless, your body is endless
The pleasure and connection we share feels infinite
Watching the hourglass on that night
We were aware of the limited amount of time we had together
We touched the stars
Our connection was so intense that we felt like we were reaching for the stars
And reached the moon for a time
Our passion took us to new heights, like reaching the moon
I'm lost in a moment with you, it feels right
I am completely immersed in this moment with you and it feels perfect
We're floating above the stars, you and I
Our connection transcends this earthly realm and feels like we're floating among the stars
I am still, now I am still
I am completely still and present in this moment with you

I respect Dave Gahan very much, because he is one of the best vocalists ever, and, as we can see by his albums Paper Monsters and Hourglass, good songwriter
