I Feel You
Depeche Mode Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel you, your sun it shines
I feel you, within my mind
You take me there
You take me where the kingdom comes
You take me to and lead me through Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you, your heart it sings
I feel you, the joy it brings
Where heaven waits, there's golden gates and back again
You take me to and lead me through oblivion

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you, your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you, your rising sun (my kingdom comes)
My kingdom comes

I feel you, each move you make
I feel you, each breath you take
Where angels sing and spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home to glory's throne
By and by

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love





This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

Arguably the greatest opening song on any album.

"Never Let Me" is fantastic as well, but this one is my favorite because its explosive right away -how opener songs should be.

Milo

+allan lee "Only Shallow" by My Bloody Valentine.

Hell, "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode themselves beats this as an album opener.

C'mon guys! Don't tell me you didn't know who Depeche Mode is. This is pure genuine music. My dad introduced me to it. You should listen to "Behind the Wheel", also from these guys.
Cheers!
