i feel a bit embarrassed being the first to even be saying this, but does anybody else think this song is FULL of homosexuality? i mean not necessarily saying NEW ORDER is gay, but it could even be their feelings on the decade of the AIDS scare, the 80s.
''It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind..."
(it's not wrong to be gay, but that was the way he has been brought up, that's what he was taught, making it even harder for him to accept his homosexuality. so he could also be commenting on how society feels about homosexuality)
''And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows''
(again, being confused about his sexuality. he is not out of the closet yet.)
''Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray''
(this is where your red light should be flashing. nobody else even touched this line. SEXUAL IMPLICATIONS GALORE!)
''I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should''
(he is happier and more satisfied because he faces the truth when he is with the man. but he feels like he ''never should'' is more commentary on how society's treatment towards homosexuals.)
''Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?''
i think he is commenting on the previous line ''i'm feeling like i never should'' should be in quotations, he's wondering why he just can't BE with the guy, and he wishes there weren't any complications.
and lastly, i'd like to comment on the title of the song. mainly the reason i don't think i'm looking too deeply into the meaning as a whole is because it's a BIZARRE love triange, BIZARRE. get it?
@iamamonster Based on what do you say homosexuality is not wrong? All major religions reject it. People nonstereotypically dogmatic, like Socrates, rejected homosexual advances with the suggestion it was a misleading aspiration.

@iamamonster I agree with you. We share the same thoughts. I personally think this song is about homosexuality.
