A Pain That I’m Used To (making the video) Songtext
von Depeche Mode

I′m not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I′m harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control

Can you say what you′re trying to play anyway?
I just pay while you′re breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled

All this running around, well, it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I′m used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true


There′s a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance, oh no
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds of the soul

I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air, I will leave it there
On a note full of hope, not despair

All this running around, well, it′s getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

All this running around, well, it′s getting me down
Just give me a pain that I′m used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true
