JOY DIVISION

- Insight Lyrics

Guess your dreams always end
They don't rise up, just descend
But I don't care anymore
I've lost the will to want more

I'm not afraid, not at all
I watch them all as they fall
But I remember
When we were young

Those with habits of waste
Their sense of style and the taste
Of making sure you were right
Hey, don't you know you were right

I'm not afraid anymore
I keep my eyes on the door
But I remember
Tears of sadness for you
More upheaval for you
Reflects a moment in time
A special moment in time

Yeah, we wasted our time
We didn't really have time
But we remember
When we were young

And all God's angels beware
And all you judges beware
Sons of chance, take good care
For all the people not there

I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore

What is the meaning behind Insight lyrics?


When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the composition 'Insight' by Joy Division is a musical piece that reflects on the march of time and the shedding of one's innocence that aging brings. It ushers in the ideas of nostalgia, regret, and finally accepting the changes that life brings, which are illustrated by the differences between youth and adult. The words portray a picture of giving up and coming to terms with the fact that fear and doubt are no more the masters of the present and the unknown future. The lyrics of Insight mainly focus on the aspect of nostalgia, therefore silence, giving power, opening up and angst. On the other hand, it also becomes clear from the song that the emphasis is on nostalgia, loss and resigning, the requirement of fearlessness and defiance. The lyrics bear the mark of sorrow and contemplation of wasted time, which might not be very appropriate for toddlers. The song does not include any bad language or graphic depiction but the intensity of the emotions and the grown-up themes do imply that the presence of an adult is necessary.
