Depeche Mode - The Sinner In Me [vocals]

The person in the song is struggling with their inner demons and wants to hide their sinful nature. They feel halfway dead because of their faith and want to be free from their sins. They admit to not being patient or restrained, but they appreciate someone who is always there for them, picking them up when they're down. They are still recovering from suffering and are known for their anger. Despite this, someone has always tried to be by their side and catch them when they fall. They wish they could hide their sinful nature and be free from it. If I could just hide the sinner inside and keep him denied Halfway died from faith, if I could be free from the sinner in me I'll never be a saint, that's not a picture that your memory paints Not renowned for my patience, I'm not renowned for my restraints But you're always around, you can always be found So pick me up when I'm on the ground If I could just hide the sinner inside and keep him denied Halfway died from faith, if I could be free from the sinner in me I'm still recovering, still getting over all the suffering More known for my anger than for any other thing But you've always tried to be by my side And catch my fall when I start to slide And catch my fall when I start to slide If I could just hide the sinner inside and keep him denied If I could just hide the sinner inside and keep him denied Halfway died from faith, if I could be free from the sinner in me
