To everyone who thinks this song isn't about epilepsy. It is. It is about a girl Ian Curtis knew while working for the Department of Disabled Services in Manchester. She had a seizure and died from it.

Ian had not yet been diagnosed with epilepsy himself at this point.
Also: the film "Control" based on Deborah Curtis book "Touching from a Distance" also mentions these facts.
And it is not about: Crashing Trains or Cars. Ian Curtis didn't die in a crash. He commited suicide by hanging himself after listening to "the Idiot" - by Iggy Pop. (Source: Wikipedia and Joy Division Documentary)
