In Your Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will


[Pre-Chorus]
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here?
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here


[Pre-Chorus]
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here?

Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your favourite slave
[Chorus]
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here?
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave
[Chorus]
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?
I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here?

Genius Annotation

“In Your Room” is a song by English electronic band Depeche Mode from their eighth studio album Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993). It was released as the album’s fourth and final single on January of 1994.

The original album version was produced by the band alongside Flood. However, for its single release, an alternative version of the track entitled the Zephyr Mix was released instead. This version was produced by Butch Vig of Nirvana and Garbage fame.

The music video for “In Your Room” was directed by the group’s longtime collaborator Anton Corbjin. The retrospective clip contains a handful of references to their previous videos. Due to the inclusion of scenes with partial nudity and bondage, the video was banned by MTV in the United States, which hurt the song’s commercial performance in the country and prevented it from charting. It did, however, manage to peak at position number six on the UK Singles Chart.

Notably, “In Your Room” was the last Depeche Mode single and video to feature member Alan Wilder, who left the band in 1995 after stating his work in the group “never received the respect and acknowledgement that it warranted”.

What did Depeche Mode say about "In Your Room"?
Genius Answer

Alan Wilder was not very happy about the version chosen as the single edit as it was written in his Singles 86-98 editorial:

Convinced of the song’s potential as a single, [Alan] campaigned rigorously on behalf of the album version to the point where various different edits were tried, but was eventually out-voted in favour of a remix by Nirvana producer and current ‘grunge’ dahling of the press, Butch Vig. Unfortunately, as is often the case with outside remixers, Vig’s interpretation did not relate to many of the aspects of the original and the track lost much of it’s Depeche Mode character, falling short of it’s intended sensuality and intensity.
