" Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these "
❝ i'm not going down on my knees, begging you to adore me
can't you see it's misery and torture for me?
when i'm misunderstood
try as hard as you can, i've tried as hard as i could
to make you see
how important it is for me
here is a plea, from my heart to you
nobody knows me as well as you do
you know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
that takes hold of my tongue in situations like these ❞
depeche mode — shake the disease ; matthias mcquoid @ lincoln
listen. i don't like matty, i always knew there was something sus going on with him. i believe he does not truly love his family - brother, son, not even his wife, he never prioritized anyone over himself and the power, and even if he does have emotions and the ability to care for people it's all overshadowed by devotion to power and immortality. but i listen to this song and can't help but think there is at least one interpretation where the way he talks to his son in the first and second parts of the book is actually somewhat true, i feel like the lyrics fit him (or at least the persona he puts on in front of people) a lot. also idk if i'm just spewing this out because i love depeche mode but i feel like dave is actually a pretty good voice claim for him lmao, even though matty is actually scottish he is technically bri ish™️
bold of me to make a post that encompasses two of my current hyperfixations (dm and ilw) in one lmao. no i'm not sane
