Twenty Four Hours
Eternal Reflections: Joy Division's Twenty Four Hours Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
So this is permanent, love's shattered pride
Permanent realization of love's broken pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
The transformation of innocence, now overturned
A cloud hangs over me, marks every move
A pervasive sense of gloom affecting every action
Deep in the memory, what once was love
Memories tainted by the loss of a once-cherished love
Oh, how I realized how I wanted time
Realization of the importance of time
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Attempts to gain perspective, searching earnestly
Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way
Momentary hope of finding a purpose or direction
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away
Observing destiny unfolding, only to slip away
Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach
Intense emotional moments beyond resolution
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Lonely demands for keeping what is cherished
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
Proposing exploration, seeking meaning in life
Valueless collection of hopes and past desires
Collection of aspirations and past hopes, now deemed worthless
I never realized the lengths I'd have to go
Unanticipated lengths of struggle and self-discovery
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Exploration of the darkest aspects of an unknown inner sense
Just for one moment, I heard somebody call
Briefly hearing a call for connection
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all
Realizing the emptiness beyond the current moment
Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong
Acknowledgment of a realization that things have gone awry
Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
The need for therapeutic intervention as time passes slowly
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
In the core of empathy, searching for a lost connection
Gotta find my destiny before it gets too late
Urgency to find one's destiny before it becomes too late
