Notes
Dave Gahan told The Guardian in 2009:
"This is one of the songs I wrote on the album, a very cynical song about wanting to fill a gaping hole but not knowing what to fill it with. About sometimes the idea having a hole to feed all being a figment of my imagination when I'm actually fine."
He explained it in more detail in a syndicated interview by Steffen Rüth (translated from German):
"It is about the fact that I am always thinking that there is something else out there - a person, a relationship, a drug, an adventure, whatever - that can finally fulfill my needs. Well, then you give into this stuff or person, with which you were so obsessed - and then you're disappointed. That's how it always goes. No matter what it is, no matter how great I am doing or how happy I am: I will never get into the state that I want to reach. My cynical self will appear in such moments. And I actually don't like this part of my character anymore. But it simply cannot be turned off easily. But I am pressing the pause button more frequently than ever anyway."
Dave Gahan also told Interia.pl (translated from Polish):
"In the studio, when working on songs, there is a collective effort. The composition of 'Hole to Feed' has ended up becoming something more rhythmic and lyrically cynical than its original version. Once we had developed the rhythmic structure of this song, Martin played the guitar with some great parts, and the transition gave the song a completely different atmosphere. At the beginning of the recording, we worked on the arrangement of the song, and in a way we tore apart the demo version of the song, looking for its strengths. And sometimes the drive of a composition is hidden in the shadows, it's not necessarily the most obvious element. This song has become much more twisted and faster than the demo version. Originally, this track had a spatial atmosphere, but Ben [Hillier] decided to give it a rhythm and build the rest of the composition around it."
Lyrics
Hole To Feed
We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me
Your name was the one
That was always chosen
Your words and their kindness
Have set me free
Shame has a hold
That's kept us frozen
You opened my eyes to a world
That I could believe
Words can leave you
Broken inside
You'll have to decide
I'm hanging on to my pride
We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me
When you get what you need
There's no way of knowing
What you'll have
Is another hole to feed
The games that were played
Have left us hoping
The gift that we have - the life
That we breathe
This world can leave you
Broken inside
With nowhere to hide
I'm hanging on to my pride
We are here
We've been chosen
We've been blessed with a place
We need to find and then open
We are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you mean the world to me
When you get what you need
There's no way of knowing
What you'll have
Is another hole to feed
