Transmission
Dancing in the Shadows: Unveiling the Enigmatic Messages of Joy Division's 'Transmission'
Lyrics
Radio, live transmission
Introduction to the theme of radio and live transmission.
Radio, live transmission
Repetition emphasizes the importance of live transmission.
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Encourages listening to silence, suggesting reflection.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
Describes eyes with dark lenses, possibly symbolizing a bleak view.
We would have a fine time living in the night
Suggests a potentially enjoyable time in the night.
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
Refers to blind destruction and waiting for sight, implying uncertainty.
We would go on as though nothing was wrong
Acting as if nothing is wrong, possibly a coping mechanism.
Hide from these days, we remained all alone
Choosing isolation to avoid the challenges of the present.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Staying stagnant, avoiding progress or change.
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Refers to distant connections and increasing emotional distance.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Repetition of "Dance" emphasizes a desire for distraction or escape through dancing to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
-Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
-Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
-Well I could call out when the going gets tough
Expresses the ability to call out in tough times.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
Suggests that previous knowledge or experience is insufficient.
No language, just sound, that's all we need know
Emphasizes the importance of sound over language.
To synchronize love to the beat of the show
Connecting love to the rhythm of the show, indicating a need for synchronization.
And we could dance
Introduction to the possibility of dancing, a form of release.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Repetition of "Dance" reinforces the theme of seeking solace through rhythmic movement.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
-Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
-Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
