To me this song is obviously about suicide, every line, every note. Here's the correct lyrics:
There is no end to this
I have seen your face
But I don't recognize all these things
You must have left behind
It's a problem, you know
That's been there all your life
I try to make you see the world without you
That just turned black and white
At night it gets cold and
You'd dearly like to turn away
An escape that fails
Makes the wounds that time won't heal
Alone, alone, alone, alone
There is no end to this
I can't turn away
Another picture but the scene
Is still the same
There is no room to move
Or try to look away
Remember life is strange
Life keeps getting stranger every day
I try so hard this attitude's
A type that won't subside
No matter what they say and do
Your heart beats you late at night
Your heart beats you late at night
Your heart beats you late at night
Your heart beats you late at night
@NewOrderFan Actually, listening again, I think the right line is:

I can turn away (Not, I can't turn away)(Perhaps the 't' word behind 'can' makes it sound like can't?)

Also, for anybody who might be sad, that's just one of nature's fun little tricks to get you to want more, more, more of everything so you'll make more, more, more babies. Another trick is selective memory... do you remember all the people you've been with? Probably not. Your brain is not there to make you happy, it's there because your ancestor's brains caused them to make babies.You can, if...

Listening to enough New Order should also help.
I think that even in this sad song there is a buried treasure of hope. The 'wounds that time won't heal' 'alone'.... to me this means that these wounds won't be healed by time alone, however they can be healed by other means, such as self healing, therapy, positive thinking, and so on. It means you have to make an effort to overcome whatever your instincts and circumstances throw at you, but that effort is worth it, every wound can be healed, some not just by time alone, alone, alone, alone.
Did I mention how much I love New Order?
p.s. I own the two disc set Substance 1987 by New Order. Disc two, track two is Procession. That's where I got these lyrics.
