Joy Division
Lyrics for Song: Twenty Four Hours
Lyrics for Album: Best Of Joy Division [2008]
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side
Grey 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 I 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
Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny before it gets too late

Twenty Four Hours
Released on the 2008 compilation Best Of Joy Division, "Twenty Four Hours" stands as a defining track of post-punk history. Written by Ian Curtis and performed by the Manchester band, the song captures the raw emotional intensity characteristic of their discography. With its driving bassline and haunting vocals, the recording exemplifies the genre's ability to blend melancholy with rhythmic urgency. As part of the band's broader catalog, the track remains a staple for fans exploring the work of Joy Division and the musical legacy of Martin Hannett's production. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey a sense of fleeting time and existential dread without relying on explicit lyrical narratives. |
