Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again

Never let me down

See the stars they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

Van sommige teksten heb ik echt het idee dat mensen er graag drugs metaforen in zien, maar ja...

doet me denken aan die geweldige discussie tussen Ben Stiller en Robert DeNiro in Meet the Parents over Puff the Magic Dragon

echt metaforen zul je 'r niet in vinden, maar je kan er donder op zeggen dat 'ie veel gebruikt heeft toen 'ie 't schreef.

was in 't algemeen

Nou ja, mijn liedje is denk ik wel pretty obvious, maar zal voor de zekerheid ff op internet snuffelen of ik een andere intepretatie kan vinden.

There have been many theories about the meaning behind this particular song, and I don't really have a solid interpretation to provide either, but I'll try to weed through the other explanations and arrive at some kind of informal conclusion!

One theory I've heard or read about this song is that it details a plane ride and a disappointment in a friend, and nothing more. Coming to that conclusion means only looking at a few lines of the song, and not analyzing it any more than that:

"I'm taking a ride with my best friend, I hope he never lets me down again"

While that theory could be true, I think the real meaning goes further than that. A second idea I've heard is that it details an encounter with drugs. Some of the wording could be faintly describing an episode with drugs, even though all members of the band (except Dave of course) deny ever using any form of illegal drug. The following excerpt could be misinterpreted as an experience with drugs, but I doubt it:

"We're flying high, We're watching the world pass us by, Never want to come down,
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground"

Another theory that I've heard is that this is documenting a homosexual experience, but I highly doubt this, as none of the members are gay. I really can't find any lines from the song to support this explanation, but I guess you can't rule anything out, as we don't know the true reasons that Martin wrote the song!

Overall, I can't really find much to explain in this song, the only thing that I can think of is that Martin was truly let down by a friend, and in a roundabout way he describes it, but in a way hard for a reader or listener to understand. Or perhaps it's as simple as taking a plane ride...who knows but Martin himself?
