Pretty scary yet fascinating material. Yes, it does have a poetic vagueness to it that makes it seem applicable in many ways. But, the song is called "Worlock". And the song is told from the point of view of the worlock. Perhaps the word "blue" has occult significance. It seems more like a "cult" relationship between "blue", the apprentice being brainwashed, and the master "worlock". |

| New Order – Blue Monday Lyrics

Blue Monday is someone's experience. An experience, that in part, symbolizes the lengths humans will go to when freedom is threatened by fascism. Blue Monday tells the tale of a soldier's experience that occured D-Day, Monday June 6, 1944. A soldier is ordered to scout out the beach that will soon be invaded by the occupants of the approaching sea vessel. "I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey" .He sees the dead soldiers, all from different backgrounds, and realizes how these men all just met their destiny. "Those who came before me lived through their vocations from the past until completion they'll turn away no more". The aforementioned soldier leaves to begin his mission amidst noise and gunfire, he believes he hears a lower ranked soldier ask something. This is when the fateful blunder occurs. The commanding soldier responds by telling the other soldier that he is is ordered to go alone and asks him to leave. The other soldier misunderstands and believes he is ordered to go with his commander. The confused soldier follows his commanding officer out to the beach and takes a bullet that would have/could have killed the storyteller (the commanding soldier). The dying soldier now views the storyteller as the most important person in the world. Think about it, you're dying, you reveal your name and say something like 'you can't die, my name is . . ., tell my wife/kids/mother that I love them'. The dying soldier probably asks the storyteller to hold him or look at his eyes. "Tell me how does it feel
when your heart grows cold". Talk to anyone who served in World War II as an Allied Power, they define the word "hero" as someone who was sure to face certain death in the name of freedom. |

To me this song sounds like something you'ld hear to psyche up a crowd at a football game. Very intense music with forboding lyrics. Unlike others like "worlock" or "killing game", this song seems to encapsulate the the final stage of a declining society. Yeah, that can be said about alot of their songs, but the insensity is raw and unforgiving. Its as if the songwriter describes the final moments before a society crumbles back into primitive traits. |
