“Stripped” by Depeche Mode

This Is a Song Which Criticizes Certain Aspects of Modern Society. However, It Does Not Do So Directly. Rather the Singer Expresses a Desire to Take His Love’s Interest – Even If Only Briefly – Away from Such a Setting to See Her “Stripped Down to the Bone”. and Although This Statement Definitely Has a Carnal Ringing to It, Within the Overall Context of This Song, It Is Not Tantamount to a Desire to See Said Lady Without Any Clothes On. Rather It Is a Yearning to Be with Her Without Both Internal and External Products of Contemporary Living.
