I'm not sure if Ian Curtis was diagnoses bipolar, but i know his wife thought he sort-of was.
It really does fuck me off that people continue to shout 'suicide' and 'epilepsy' at every Joy Division song. Curtis was epileptic untli after this song was written (and recorded i think) and he wasn't in a particularly bad frame of mind either if accounts are to be believed.
I've always considered it ot be about paranoia, but I confess I don't really know what it's about. Except that it's not about epilepsy.
