The song tells of a 16-year old girl who attempts suicide but fails,over the course of the next two years she turns to God but is killed in a car accident at the age of 18.
In the UK the song was considered too anti-religious to be broadcast during the daytime by the BBC and other organisations.Because of the controversy surrounding the song Depeche Mode released the track ‘Somebody’ making the release a ‘double-A-side.’
Depeche Mode(see also best songs 968 and 261) singer Dave Gahan explained.’I’m by the way not anti-religious at all,I only appose a certain kind of religion that was forced upon me when I was young.The song only wants to say that no one should let someone force anything upon him.You have to choose yourself what you wanna do with your life.’
‘I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that God’s got a sick sense of humour and when I die I expect to find him laughing.’
