| New Order – Temptation Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I think the green/blue/gray eyes correspond to the various stages of a relationship, chronologically. When the relationship is new and fresh, we all have green eyes. When the fighting or conflict starts, and someone is hurt, they turn blue. Finally, the relationship burns itself out, and all that is left are the charcoal, or gray, eyes. As far as "betrayed by words I've never heard, to hard to say": he can't say "I love you," nor does he stick around long enough to ever hear it said. Ceremony is by far my favorite New Order song, but this is certainly a close second. When I was growing up in the 80s, these songs made the stuff played on radio seem amateur by comparison. And it was. |
