| New Order – Touched By The Hand Of God Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| Well, you never really know with Barneys lyrics, but if you know the story, it could easily be about Joy Division's front man Ian Curtis. | |

I can't put it better than Andrea above, who I would say is spot on. Although, like all good lyrics, they do retain some ambiguity. For example, the well worn line "It's time we moved out West, this time will be the best" could be taken at face value as moving to America and making lots of money with the fat cats a la Tina Turners song 'Simply the Best' which ended up being played at countless corporate conferences for greedy yuppies; however, these are the oppressors in this song and I prefer to interpret it as a simple reference to all the penniless Europeans that migrated to America when it was a new land and new start, because there was nothing for them in their own lands. One of their finest songs if you ask me. |

I'm not posting this to be a clever dick, but hopefully to stop anyone coming here getting confused. What most commentators seem to forget is that the above lyrics were not written by Ian Curtis; they are an interpretation by New Order. I can assure you that Ian Curtis' lyrics, to the first verse in particular, are very different. When reading the speculation about his inspiration here, bear in mind it could be pretty flimsy if drawn from this version. |

| New Order – Dreams Never End Lyrics | 6 years ago |

It's pretty much about a new beginning, being in limbo, being judged and not caring about judgement... but the lyrics above are quite badly wrong in places, here are the real words with a touch of ambiguity on the last couple of lines. My promise could be your theme A given end to your dreams A simple movement or rhyme Could be the smallest of signs We'll never know what they are or care An empty statement or view There's no escape for so few in fear They made a change in value To be given your sight Hid in a warm peaceful night A nervous bride for your eyes A fractured smile that soon dies A love that's drawn from your life and soul A savage mind had begun A long farewell to your love and soul A long farewell to your soul Now I know what was meant to do No looking back now or pushing through We’ll change these things to taste or scene But never guess how the in would scream But never guess how the inward scream But never guess how the in would scream |
