Joy Division – Colony Lyrics 6 years ago
As we know Curtis studied divinity and I've always seen this song as the struggle between him as a sinner, contemplating another sin being his own death, and his relationship with God (with a possible nod to Joseph Conrad)

The Raveonettes – Dead Sound Lyrics 6 years ago
I think the clue to the songs meaning is the sampling of 'dream baby dream' by suicide, a song reputed to be about necrophilia.....

Cigarettes After Sex – Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby Lyrics 6 years ago
Am I the only one to think there is a dark undertow to this song? Is he reassuring her or controlling her? 'Nothings gonna take you from my side' - makes me shiver.....!

The Waterboys – The Whole Of The Moon Lyrics 6 years ago
People see different things in different situations from different perspectives ('rain dirty valley' v 'Brigadoon'). Some see the good in everything, others are more cynical, having seen the way the world operates!

Agree totally. It's about the increasing loss of control that comes with getting older, as more and more options close off, leaving a feeling of emptiness

Joy Division – Twenty Four Hours Lyrics 6 years ago
Anyone who has seriously contemplated suicide will know that one of the pieces of advice you get is to review all the positive things. That doesn't always work.....

Let's take a ride out, see what we can find,
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires

So they ask you to take your time, what does another day matter? And things may well get better. Sometimes it doesn't seem that way.....

Just for one moment, I heard somebody call,
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all

These are the lines that cut me the most, I know the feeling.
