DEPECHE MODE

- Precious Lyrics

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you?

We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

What is the meaning behind Precious lyrics?


When we think about the meaning behind each verse, Depeche Mode's 'Precious' depicts the vulnerability of love and the hurt resulting from silence, betrayal, and lack of trust. It carries a tone of compassion and the wish to protect someone dear from pain, yet implying the difficulty of keeping faith and trust in a world where everything can be so easily damaged and shattered. The carefully crafted lyrics of Precious bring out love, despair, and an inner battle that was one's almost bitter insight. At the same time, the song unfolds the storyline of fragility and care, regret and loss, and, ultimately, hope and healing. The lyrics are loaded with themes of care, loss, and emotional pain which perhaps are not quite appropriate for young children unless accompanied by an adult. Nevertheless, there is nothing in the music such as explicit language, violence, or adult content which could lead to a higher rating.

The perfect combination of melodious melancholy and incredible lyrics, deeply moving, with a sensible religiousness and the faith that there is more to this world. Treat people well, you might regret things when it is too late!
