If anything, the war interpretations are...interesting enough but i just dont think there's enough coming from the lyrics that necessarily supports that... the ian curtis suggestion sounds correct and gives the song probably the most meaningful and gorgeous sense to me anyway but hey this song is relatable in alot of ways and to me.. i get this erie feeling its about a close encounter. call me crazy but the most common and probable explanation for visitations from other worlds is that idea that an advanced alien race that could have possibly created us possibly not but has watched us from the beginning or close to it anyway observes, protects and influences us to become a more whole and unified race and will not come out to us until we're ready.... so here are the lyrics "i see a ship in the harbour i can and shall obey" "if it wasnt for your misfortune i'd b a heavenly person today" that could b interpreted many ways.."now i stand here waiting" waiting for them to come out of hiding maybe? "tell me now how do i feel" coming from a guy whos encountered something that probably understands emotions far better than him and its hard to communicate but every line of this song supports this idea... and its just an idea so yeah..
@SensationalConscience The war interpretations started when a journalist wrote an article linking the Falklands conflict to the song. It's been denied by the band, there's quite a few New Order lyrics with war references.
