IT'S NO GOOD
(Lyrics by Martin Gore - Depeche Mode)
I am going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realize
Do we have to wait 'till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
...
I am going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
...
Every time I hear this song I think of many Taurean symbolisms that are depicted in the lyrics. I am sure Martin Gore did not write this because of astrology but hey, let me share some of my thoughts on this.
The first two lines are about taking the time and having "all the time in the world". Well, most Taureans feel like they have the time on their side. They are the masters of making the time, waiting and slowing down the fast pace of life we are all experiencing. The third line is about wanting to make his partner "his" which is borderline possessive and materialistic at the same time. I don't mean it in a bad way, but Taureans tend to feel like they have an ownership of the person they share their life with or they are entitled to having their partner's full attention. The fourth line talks about the fate being sealed and "written in the stars." This symbolizes a strong Taurean connection to the Universe, the Earth and the nature - after all this is an Earth sign!
"I'll be fine, I'll be waiting patiently" are the lines from the third paragraph and they are about patience. Patience is this sign's virtue. It is the most treasured one and the most awkward one. It is great to be patient but do we really have "all the time in the world?" What is your experience with time? Do you feel like we are living in a much faster moving time then we were a decade or two ago? Do you think we can create more time? How do you make more time? Do you slow down? Relax? Unwind?
As we are approaching our next astrological era, we are all experiencing the quickening of time. It is normal. It is part of life. It may be an illusion (instant messaging, computers and impatient bosses) or a physical fact or a combination of both. I will leave it up to you to decide. I think there is no right or wrong answer.
Anyway, I started writing and forgot to mention a few words about Depeche Mode and its lead singer Dave Gahan - a typical Taurus, born on May 9, 1962 into a working class family in Essex. In March 1980 Gahan formed a band with Vince Clarke, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher called the Composition of Sound which became the spring board of Depeche Mode (named after a fashion magazine). Dave Gahan's dominant planets are the Moon, Venus and Neptune. Feelings, charm and mystery.
I am including a couple of songs by this British group. I guess I am reminiscing - maybe this type of music will be played in retirement homes when I get to be in my eighties or nineties. But for now I am just reminiscing. The first song is New Life and the second is It's No Good - the guys are so young! Anyway, people born under this Zodiac sign usually have a beautiful and natural voice. Gahan's voice just got better with time! His patience has paid off :)
