I'd always thought the abusive relationship idea like many people as it fits with the lyrics so well...
although the ideas of Ian Curtis seem applicable as well...
but what interests me the most are the interpretations about war.
it isn't something i'd thought about until today when i was reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut (excellent book - everyone should read it) and that the first page of the book is a cow saying "goodbye blue monday" (i think this is possibly the name of the book within the book so to say but that's unrelated)
later it also mentions that one of the main characters only contact with war was writing "goodbye blue monday" on a bomb going to vietnam (i think?)
so it got me thinking...
is this song any relation to breakfast of champions or have they just been named from the same source?
if they are related maybe the war story holds more truth...
