Many believe this song is about the lead singers addiction to heroin, and the lyrics "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms." is a refrence to shooting up heroin in his arms. But in actuallity the lead singer to depeche mode never wrote this song. A song writer named Martin Gore actually wrote the lyrics to it, who normally wrote songs about the darkside of love. So it is most likely a real deal love song and not David Gahan's addiction.
