wow this is has got to be one of my top five favorite songs of all time. but these lyrics baffle me. who is "the him"? the lyrics are so dark ("hello, farewell to your love and soul") it sounds like it's about someone growing disillusioned and apathetic about life ie "we'll never know what they are or care", "there's no escape", "a fractured smile that soon dies", perhaps it's chronicling the decay of someone's soul? but that's probably taking it too literally...
@brideonfire “someone’s soul” Obviously Ian’s.
If it’s one of your all time favorite songs, how do not know it’s about Ian Curtis?
Watch movie Control. You’ll love the song all the more.
