"Review: Depeche Mode face down the abyss in 'Memento Mori' ". ABC News . Retrieved 22 March 2023. Though death is a dominant theme in the album, there are some songs which reflect other themes such as "My Cosmos Is Mine" which Gore discussed was written "shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. I thought, 'How much more are we supposed to endure? What else is expected of us?' And my first reaction was to say: I'm retreating into my own little world, everyone leave me alone. The song is about protecting your inner self in the midst of powerlessness against the storms of the world and wanting to hide somewhere together with your loved one. Which is of course short-sighted, because we have to take responsibility for our earth, otherwise we will all soon no longer be here." [11]
