Notes
In 2016, Depeche Mode's discography was found to have the most sophisticated lyrics per song of all best-selling music acts of the UK on average in a study by The Mirror. The determination was made by analysing the lyrics of more than 6,000 UK musical groups using the Coleman Liau and SMOG indexes, which are used to determine the difficulty of school text books. An average was taken of each song’s score in both of these tests, with the artist's final score determined by calculating the average score of each artist's full discography. Depeche Mode's catalogue was found to be the most lyrically-sophisticated, requiring 10.3 years of education to understand. Macro's lyrics were found to be the group's most challenging.[1]
Lyrics
Macro
Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited endless
God breathing through me
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
Thundering rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
