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.
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.
Excessive flashpoints, 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.
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.
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.
The lyrics TWENTY FOUR HOURS of JOY DIVISION is also present in the album Permanent (1995)
I Joy Division sono stati un gruppo musicale post-punk britannico formatosi nel 1977 a Salford, nella contea della Grande Manchester. La formazione originale comprendeva Ian Curtis (voce), Bernard Sumner (chitarra), Peter Hook (basso) e Stephen Morris (batteria). Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti del movimento post-punk, i Joy Division hanno caratterizzato il loro sound con atmosfere cupe, testi introspettivi e un'intensa musicalità. Curtis, noto per le sue performance teatrali e la sua scrittura poetica, affrontava temi come la depressione, l'alienazione e la disillusione sociale. Dopo una serie di EP e singoli di successo, i Joy Division pubblicarono il loro album di debutto, *Unknown Pleasures*, nel 1979, considerato un classico del genere post-punk. Il secondo album, *Closer*, uscito nel 1980, consolidò la fama della band e fu accolto con grande entusiasmo dalla critica. Tragicamente, Ian Curtis si suicidò il 18 maggio 1980, poco prima dell'inizio di un tour negli Stati Uniti. La morte di Curtis segnò la fine dei Joy Division, ma il loro impatto sulla musica è rimasto profondo e duraturo. I brani più rappresentativi includono *Love Will Tear Us Apart*, *Atmosphere* e *She's Lost Control*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
