Isolation

Joy Division

Lyrics

The song text takes the lead here, like the legacy page, without the old clutter.

In fear every day, every evening,
He calls her aloud from above,
Carefully watched for a reason,
Painstaking devotion and love,
Surrendered to self preservation, 
From others who care for themselves. 
A blindness that touches perfection,
But hurts just like anything else.

Isolation, isolation, isolation.

Mother I tried please believe me, 
I'm doing the best that I can.
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, 
I'm ashamed of the person I am. 

Isolation, isolation, isolation.

But if you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction, 
This is my one lucky prize

Isolation, isolation, Isolation, isolation, isolation.
