A Means To An End Lyrics

Cover art for A Means To An End lyrics by Joy Division

This always makes me think about a caustically competitive, year-plus-length relationship I had with a psycho ex-girlfriend . The first four lines establish my image of the endlessly ongoing relationship that sets two lives aside from the world around them, those two people living by a unique, dangerous, constantly evolving set of rules. By the last verse all positivity has become utterly bitter. This song is simple and brilliant. Perhaps I read into it too much, though?
