My Cosmos Is Mine Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Don't play with my world
Don't mess with my mind
Don't question my space-time
My cosmos is mine

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Don't toy with my heart
Don't knock down my shrines
Don't alter my headlines
My cosmos is mine

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
No war, no war, no war
No more, no more, no more, no more
No fear, no fear, no fear, no fear
Not here, not here, not here, not here
No rain, no clouds, no pain, no shrouds
No final breaths, no senseless deaths

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Don't stare at my soul
I swear it is fine (Don't mess with my mind)
Its borders are outlined (Don't question my space-time)
My cosmos is minе (My cosmos is mine)
My cosmos is mine
My cosmos is mine (Don't play with my world)
My cosmos is minе (Don't mess with my mind)
My cosmos is mine (Don't question my space-time)
My cosmos is mine
[Outro: Martin L. Gore]
(Don't play with my world)
(Don't mess with my mind)
(Don't mess with my mind)

What did Depeche Mode say about "My Cosmos Is Mine"?
Genius Answer

Dave Gahan:

It’s actually one of my favourites on the album. When Martin first sent me the demo, it didn’t strike me. But quite often those are the ones that creep up on me later—that I most identify with for some reason—and that song was one of those. I remember going to Martin’s house and singing it, and I knew we were capturing something. I feel like I found a meaning in the song that I identified with, and I don’t often. When I found my place with that song, I knew it was going to be a great introduction to Memento Mori.
