Sobre el álbum
Tras la abrupta partida de Vince Clarke, A Broken Frame queda como un álbum crucial y de profunda transición para la banda. En este trabajo, Martin Gore asume por primera vez la totalidad de la composición, y comienza a tejer las atmósferas melancólicas que definirían su carrera. El resultado es un disco que se debate entre el pop electrónico de su debut y una nueva oscuridad emergente, mostrando a un grupo en plena búsqueda de identidad.La banda explora aquí paisajes sonoros más sombríos y elaborados, como se aprecia en temas como "Leave in Silence" o "See You". Por otro lado, la ausencia de Alan Wilder, quien se uniría poco después, hace que la producción sea algo más simple, pero aun así efectiva. Aunque a menudo es considerado un trabajo menor, "A Broken Frame" es un disco valiente y necesario, el primer paso fundamental hacia el sonido oscuro y sofisticado que Depeche Mode estaba destinado a crear.

- Leave in silence
Letra
I've told myself so many times before But this time I think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop Reached our natural conclusion Outlived the illusion I hate being in these situations That call for diplomatic relations If I only knew the answer Or I thought we had a chance Or I could stop this I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence We've been running around in circles all year Doing this and that and getting nowhere This'll be the last time (I think I said that last time) If I only had a potion, Some magical lotion That could stop this, I would stop this I would set the wheels in motion What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence - My secret garden
Letra
My secret garden's not so secret anymore Run from the house holding my head in my hands Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel It all seems so absurd that this should have occurred My very only secret and I had to go and leak it My secret garden's not so secret anymore No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore Run through the fields down to the edge of the water Can't stay long, here comes the reason why She'll catch me if she can, take me by the hand I'll have to keep on running and I just can't see the fun in My secret garden not being secret anymore It used to be so easy on days such as these she'd Search and search for hours, in among the flowers I loved it, I loved her Play the fool, act so cruel (I loved it) Read a book, take a look (I loved her) It all seems so absurd that this should have occurred My very only secret and I had to go and leak it My secret garden's not so secret anymore - Monument
Letra
When the site was found we laid the foundations down It didn't take long before they came back tumbling down Don't build at night, you need a little light How else you gonna see what it's gonna be like? So we picked up our tools and we worked in the morning light With the last stone placed wasn't it a wonderful sight? But it fell back down and scattered all around Anything passes when you need glasses My monument it fell down Work all of my days for this kind of praise It fell down - Nothing to fear
- See you
Letra
All I want to do is see you again Is that too much to ask for? I just want to see your sweet smile Smiled the way it was before Well I'll try not to hold you And I'll try not to kiss you And I won't even touch you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods And sit on a bench for a while I treasure the way we used to laugh and play And look in each others eyes You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance But I swear I won't touch you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true Well I know five years is a long time And that times change (oh that times change) But I think that you will find People are basically the same (basically the same) If the water's still flowing, we can go for a swim And do the things we used to do And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in And we can relive our youth Oh but we'll stay friendly like sister and brother Though I think I still love you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true? - Satellite
Letra
Now hear this my friends I'll never be the same again Gonna lock myself in a cold black room Gonna shadow myself in a veil of gloom I will function, operate I will be a satellite of hate Driven to this point by a chain of events Each one pushed me nearer the edge Gonna send my message through to you And you'll receive the signal too I will function, operate I will be a satellite of hate Higher Disillusioned, I was disenchanted Forgot the love that had been implanted Heard the lies and I felt the cold It broke my heart and I lost control Now I'm a satellite of a free state I'm a satellite of hate A satellite of hate Higher - The meaning of love
Letra
I've read more than a hundred books Seen love mentioned many thousand times But despite all the places I've looked It's still no clearer it's just not enough I'm still no nearer the meaning of love Noted down all my observations Spent an evening watching television Still I couldn't say with precision Know it's a feeling and it comes from above But what's the meaning, the meaning of love? The meaning of love Tell me the meaning of love From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see, I've never been in love before Next I asked several friends of mine If they could spare a few minutes of their time Their look suggested that I'd lost my mind Tell me the answer, my Lord high above Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love The meaning of love Tell me the meaning of love From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see, I've never been in love before Tell me the meaning of love - A photograph of you
Letra
What good is a photograph of you? Every time I look at it It makes me feel blue What use is a souvenir of something We once had When all it ever does is Make me feel bad I wish I could tear it up But then again I haven't the guts I wish I could throw it on the fire I wish I could But to say I would I'd be a liar What good is a color print of a little baby doll? When just one little glance is enough to make me feel dull I wish I would misplace it But then I take such good care of it I wish it would disappear I say I wish But then I relish it being here What good is a photograph of you? Every time I look at it It makes me feel blue - Shouldn't have done that
