A Means To An End Lyrics

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

I think this is a song about either a friendship or a relationship being exploited, as the title clearly suggests. To the other person it was just means to an end, but to him it was so much more. He was bitterly disappointed when he found out what the other person's real interests were. "Is this your goal Your final need Where dogs and vultures eat" And he believed their vision touched the sky.
