Martin L. GoreAbout
In the midst of future-facing synth-pop, Depeche Mode’s constant bleak pessimism looks back to romantic-era poets on “Stripped”, a song lamenting that modern society has taken us away from nature, simplicity, and truth.

Stripped Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Come with me into the trees
We'll lay on the grass and let the hours pass
Take my hand, come back to the land
Let's get away just for one day
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Metropolis has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes, I taste when we kiss
Take my hand, come back to the land
Where everything's ours for a few hours
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Let me hear you make decisions without your television
Let me hear you speaking just for me
[Interlude]
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you speaking just for me)
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you crying just for me)
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you speaking just for me)

What did Depeche Mode say about "Stripped"?
Alan Wilder and producers are quoted in the 2006 documentary of the album:
Alan Wilder:
One of the first tracks we recorded, I think, was Stripped. And that just flowed, probably the only track on the album that did, and it was easy.[1] And I think I have to give credit to Martin’s demo, because re...
