    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
    What once was innocence, turned on its side
    A cloud hangs over me, marks every move
    Deep in the memory, of what once was love
    [Verse 2]
    Oh how I realised how I wanted time
    Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way
    Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away
    [Verse 3]
    Excessive flash points, beyond all reach
    Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
    Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
    A valueless collection of hopes and past desires
    [Verse 4]
    I never realised the lengths I'd have to go
    All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
    Just for one moment, I heard somebody call
    Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all
    [Verse 5]
    Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong
    Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
    Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
    Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late

      I agree. Ian Curtis is writing his own epitaph in those lyrics and his genius delivery. It's so sad to think he died at 23. What a talent he was, and could have been.

    The peaks and troughs in this song are like life itself. Always eerie listening to Ian's lyrics in a context forty years after his death. Interviews you read or hear from bandmates never saw his suicide coming despite the bleakness of his lyrics. I guess his contemporaries just saw it as art or provocative in some way. This ranks as one of their greatest songs for sure. The rawness and unbridled mental anguish that that poor man suffered can only be imagined, a burden I wouldn't wish on anyone. Your spirit lives on young man x

    Having had the privilege of watching
    Joy Division as support for the Buzzcocks & The Cure for princely sum of a couple of quid
    Their unique sound made them stand out...way out
    One couldn't have guessed the beautifully deep scar they'd leave across the face of music forevermore

    When he says
    Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way. Destiny unfolded i watched it slip away. Funking hell wife was that poor man suffering right there to write that. If that's not a cry for help, Jesus. Yet its achingly beautiful

    Hannett told me he thought the sound of the drums on 24 Hours was one of the best things, recording wise, that they'd done together. If you focus and just lisyen to the drums you might agree.

    Saw them in 1980 at the Lyceum with Killing Joke. This song is one of my favourites. Every time I listen to Joy Division over all the years, it will always resonate with me. I was living in Belfast when I traveled to see this show. I was really young and when my ma found out about it, she had a fit so! But I HAD to see them!!!! (I was 15 🤣) I live in America now, and I met ONE younger person who was a true fan…knew more than Love will tear us apart. I’m always suspect of people who claim it’s their favourite song but end up literally knowing no other songs….or people who ask me about my original Joy Division Unknown Pleasures t-shirt and tentatively say “I think I’ve seen that before…what band is it again?” 🙄 F*cks sake! Piss off, kid. Yeah I’m old and still a post punk fan…truthfully a Joy Division fan above all. Saw Peter Hook and the Light a few years ago…. Hooky stays true to the music! The bass lines were a big draw to me. (BTW he sang some back-up vocals at live Joy Division shows 🥰). I respect Hooky a great deal! Lalala enough about my opinions. I will NEVER forget the London show at the Lyceum in 1980. Seen loads of bands live since that show, but they’ve never had that collective energy or made such an impression on me like that one. ❤️ Rest in deep peace dear, Ian. No one has or will write songs like yours.

      That's a fabulous post, friend.
      We must be about the same age (I was born in '65) and although sadly I never got to see Joy Division, I have held a candle for them since I learned about Ian's death when I was 14.

    If I had a gun to my head and the gunman told me to pick my favorite Joy Division track (only allowing to pick one) it would probably be this one, even though my favorite joy division track chops and changes most of the time I always come back to this one the most, JD music really helped me when i was in a really dark place in my life, I find the music and lyrics so therapeutic.

    He was getting absolutely spent.
    He needed the right combination of substances, legal or otherwise. Given the mistakes made by those who tried to treat him, his best hopes were on the otherwise category. One which he either refused or never had the chance to meet.
