Discover the story of the song > Compulsion – Martin L. Gore

The song talks about the protagonist who feels like he is running out of good luck and inspiration but keeps motivating himself to move forward. He knows that finding the right words is hard and there is no plan, but he has to keep going by putting one foot in front of another, and he is free to change his mind. The song encourages the audience to have strength through diversity, and to remember that sometimes, things just have to happen.
